Par Valentina Presutti, Guilin Qi, Juanzi Li, María Poveda-Villalón, Laura Hollink, Giorgos Stoilos, Zoi Kaoudi, Terry R. Payne, Gong Cheng. 2023
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 22nd International Semantic Web Conference, ISWC 2023, which took place in October 2023…
in Athens, Greece. The 58 full papers presented in this double volume were thoroughly reviewed and selected from 248 submissions. Many submissions focused on the use of reasoning and query answering, witha number addressing engineering, maintenance, and alignment tasks for ontologies. Likewise, there has been a healthy batch of submissions on search, query, integration, and the analysis of knowledge. Finally, following the growing interest in neuro-symbolic approaches, there has been a rise in the number of studies that focus on the use of Large Language Models and Deep Learning techniques such as Graph Neural Networks.Handbook of Evolutionary Machine Learning (Genetic and Evolutionary Computation)

learning problems and improve current methods of machine learning. Topics in this book are organized into five parts. The first part introduces some fundamental concepts and overviews of evolutionary approaches to the three different classes of learning employed in machine learning. The second addresses the use of evolutionary computation as a machine learning technique describing methodologic improvements for evolutionary clustering, classification, regression, and ensemble learning. The third part explores the connection between evolution and neural networks, in particular the connection to deep learning, generative and adversarial models as well as the exciting potential of evolution with large language models. The fourth part focuses on the use of evolutionary computation for supporting machine learning methods. This includes methodological developments for evolutionary data preparation, model parametrization, design, and validation. The final part covers several chapters on applications in medicine, robotics, science, finance, and other disciplines. Readers find reviews of application areas and can discover large-scale, real-world applications of evolutionary machine learning to a variety of problem domains. This book will serve as an essential reference for researchers, postgraduate students, practitioners in industry and all those interested in evolutionary approaches to machine learning.Freedom From Anxiety

importantes y reconocidos de Colombia y América Latina. Su trayectoria es admirable y prolífica: ha sido ministro de Hacienda en dos ocasiones, ministro de Agricultura, director de Planeación Nacional y de Fedesarrollo, codirector del Banco de la República y, a nivel internacional, subsecretario general de la ONU para Asuntos Económicos y Sociales y secretario ejecutivo de la CEPAL. Adicionalmente, es un académico destacado que ha enseñado en varias universidades, tiene una extensa lista de publicaciones y ha participado en negociaciones económicas ante organismos como la ONU, el FMI, la Ronda Uruguay que creó la OMC y la Comunidad Andina, entre otros. En estas memorias, José Antonio Ocampo e Isabel López Giraldo conversan sobre todo eso y más. Hablan de cómo fue para Ocampo trabajar con Kofi Annan como secretario general de la ONU y de su encuentro con los presidentes Patricio Aylwin y Ricardo Lagos durante la transición democrática en Chile, y con Fidel Castro, entre muchos otros personajes mundiales. También abordan su período de cerca de diez años en Naciones Unidas y la labor que realizó allí en temas de cooperación financiera y tributaria internacional, género, migración y desarrollo sostenible. Ocampo se refiere, además, a su experiencia en los tres gobiernos de los que ha sido parte, los de César Gaviria, Ernesto Samper y Gustavo Petro.
