Emerging paradigms in machine learning: An introduction

Abstract

This chapter provides a broad overview of machine learning (ML) paradigms both emerging as well as well-established ones. These paradigms include: Bayesian Learning, Decision Trees, Granular Computing, Fuzzy and Rough Sets, Inductive Logic Programming, Reinforcement Learning, Neural Networks and Support Vector Machines. In addition, challenges in ML such as imbalanced data, perceptual computing, and pattern recognition of data which is episodic as well as temporal are also highlighted. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
