KLUWER INTERNATIONAL SERIES IN VIDEO COMPUTING -- 006
Video Mining is an essential reference for the practitioners and
academicians in the fields of multimedia search engines.
Half a terabyte or 9,000 hours of motion pictures are produced around the
world every year. Furthermore, 3,000 television stations broadcasting for
twenty-four hours a day produce eight million hours per year, amounting to
24,000 terabytes of data. Although some of the data is labeled at the time
of production, an enormous portion remains unindexed. For practical access
to such huge amounts of data, there is a great need to develop efficient
tools for browsing and retrieving content of interest, so that producers
and end users can quickly locate specific video sequences in this ocean of
audio-visual data.
Video Mining is important because it describes the main techniques being
developed by the major players in industry and academic research to address
this problem. It is the first time research from these leaders in the field
developing the next-generation multimedia search engines is being described
in great detail and gathered into a single volume.
Video Mining will give valuable insights to all researchers and
non-specialists who want to understand the principles applied by the
multimedia search engines that are about to be deployed on the Internet, in
studios' multimedia asset management systems, and in video-on-demand systems.

PROGRAMMING -- 5
Genetic programming (GP) is method for automatically creating computer
programs. It starts from a high-level statement of what needs to be done
and uses the Darwinian principle of natural selection to breed a population
of improving programs over many generations.
Genetic Programming IV: Routine Human-Competitive Machine Intelligence
presents the application of GP to a wide variety of problems involving
automated synthesis of controllers, circuits, antennas, genetic networks,
and metabolic pathways. The book describes fifteen instances where GP has
created an entity that either infringes or duplicates the functionality of
a previously patented 20th-century invention, six instances where it has
done the same with respect to post-2000 patented inventions, two instances
where GP has created a patentable new invention, and thirteen other
human-competitive results. The book additionally establishes:
* GP now delivers routine human-competitive machine intelligence.
* GP is an automated invention machine.
* GP can create general solutions to problems in the form of
parameterized topologies.
* GP has delivered qualitatively more substantial results in synchrony
with the relentless iteration of Moore's Law.

STUDIES IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE --
Every philosopher of science, and every student of the philosophy of
science, has heard of Paul Feyerabend: the iconoclast who supposedly
asserted that science is not rational, nor objective, but is characterised
by anarchism, relativism, subjectivism and power. In this book it is argued
that this picture of Feyerabend is false. Though Feyerabend was an
iconoclast, his destructive philosophy was also creative. Feyerabend was
deeply critical of a particular theory of scientific rationality, herein
labelled 'Rationalism' - characterised as the algorithmic application of
universal, necessary, atemporal rules - but he did not completely reject
the idea of scientific rationality. It is argued that Feyerabend implicitly
supported an alternative theory of rationality, herein labelled
tightrope-walking rationality, characterised as the context-sensitive
balancing of inherently irreconcilable values.
The first half of the book deals with the entrenched misunderstandings of
Feyerabend's philosophy that have arisen through a lack of appreciation of
the target of Feyerabend's criticisms. The second half of the book brings
together the positive elements to be found in Feyerabend's work, and
presents these elements as a coherent alternative conception of scientific
rationality.
This book is of interest to all philosophers of science, students of the
philosophy of science, and anyone interested in science and the rationality
of science. It constitutes the first book-length study of Feyerabend's
post-1970 philosophy and will be an invaluable resource for anyone who
wants to understand the views of one of the most influential philosophers
of science of the twentieth century.

Consilient Brain Second Edition
The Bioneurological Basis of Economics, Society, and Politics
by
Gerald A. Cory Jr.
San Jose State University, CA, USA
This book considers neuroscience as the bridge between the natural and
social sciences, and examines the applicability for sociology, economics,
and political science of new concepts in cognitive science, evolutionary
psychology, and neuroscience. This work applies current research in
evolutionary neuroscience to the foundation of economics and politics.
