Computational Intelligence A Methodological Introduction

From the reviews:

“This book teaches computational intelligence (CI) in a thorough, methodological manner that is theoretically profound and educationally oriented. … this book is well designed for the independent student who wishes to learn the fundamentals of CI without the need for an instructor. The organization and thorough step-by-step methodology makes it an excellent startup guide for someone who wants to learn CI … . This book is targeted at beginners, students, or professionals who wish to understand CI.” (Mario Antoine Aoun, Computing Reviews, February, 2014)

“The book under review is a textbook that features sub-symbolic approaches developed within the field of Artificial Intelligence … . It can be used as a companion book for lectures, with exercises and slides to be found on the book’s website. With its focus on sub-symbolic approaches, it presents a comprehensive and detailled source of information complementary to other commonly used textbooks in Artificial Intelligence that mostly focus on symbolic approaches.” (Jana Köhler, zbMATH, Vol. 1283, 2014)
