Advancing artificial intelligence through biological process applications.9781599049960Advancing artificial intelligence through biological process applications. Ed. by Ana B. Porto Pazos et al. Medical Information Science Reference 2009 436 pages $225.00 Hardcover R859 Artificial intelligence (AI), in simulating features of biological processes in computational models, offers clues to the complex functioning of the nervous system and applies these to real-life problems, e.g., Turing's COLOSSUS Colossus - (A huge and ancient statue on the Greek island of Rhodes). 1. information processing Acquisition, recording, organization, retrieval, display, and dissemination of information. Today the term usually refers to computer-based operations. . Application examples include genetic algorithms Genetic algorithms Search procedures based on the mechanics of natural selection and genetics. Such procedures are known also as evolution strategies, evolutionary programming, genetic programming, and evolutionary computation. , artificial neural networks (artificial intelligence) artificial neural network - (ANN, commonly just "neural network" or "neural net") A network of many very simple processors ("units" or "neurons"), each possibly having a (small amount of) local memory. , and a bio-inspired design for an information grid system. The 20 chapters include future research trends, further reading, and a glossary of key terms. The text is suitable for students and researchers in bioinformatics and other fields.
