New Directions on Hybrid Intelligent Systems Based on Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic, and Optimization Algorithms by Patricia Melin, Oscar Castillo
Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF reader, 35.6 MB
Overview: We describe in this book new directions on the theoretical developments of fuzzy logic, neural networks, and meta-heuristic algorithms, as well as their hybrid combinations, and their application in areas such as intelligent control and robotics, pattern recognition, medical diagnosis, time series prediction, and optimization of complex problems. There are papers with the main topics from type-1 to type-3 fuzzy logic, which basically consists of a group of papers that propose new concepts and algorithms based on type-1, type-2, and type-3 fuzzy logic and their applications. There are also papers that present the theory and practice of meta-heuristics in diverse application areas. There are interesting papers on different applications of fuzzy logic, neural networks, and hybrid intelligent systems in medical problems. In addition, we can find papers describing applications of fuzzy logic, neural networks, and meta-heuristics in robotics problems. Another set of papers presents the theory and practice of neural networks in diverse application areas, including convolutional and deep learning neural networks. There are also a group of papers that present the theory and practice of optimization and evolutionary algorithms in different areas of application. Finally, we can find a group of papers describing the applications of fuzzy logic, neural networks, and meta-heuristics in pattern recognition problems. In conclusion, the edited book comprises contributions on diverse aspects of fuzzy logic, neural networks, and optimization of meta-heuristic algorithms for designing optimal hybrid intelligent systems and their application in areas such as intelligent control and robotics, pattern recognition, decision-making, time series prediction, and optimization of complex problems.

Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.9 mb
Overview: Three men want her. Two nations need her. One wrong decision could destroy them all.

Adrien Cortéis is torn between the magical nation she was born to rule and a war-ravaged country she has been chosen to protect. But when her supernatural home, NOLA, grows restless without their queen, her younger sister performs a dangerous ritual in order to claim the magic her sister had refused, ultimatly forcing the duty-bound witch to return home.

Nola's infamous demon prince has conspired for five years to bring his witch home, and now that she's back, he won't give her up without a fight. Even if it means taking on a Fae incubus that catches the witch's eye, and her curious human ex-boyfriend who followed her from Chicago.

With three lovers vying for her affection, NOLA's reluctant witch queen becomes entangled in a web of deception, an impending catastrophe on her heels, and a ticking clock to save her sister from making a mistake that could cost NOLA everything.

Lying lovers and a voodoo queen reluctant to reign can only lead to one thing: A supernatural disaster.

Checkmate by K.D. Tabith (Checkmate 1)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.3 mb
Overview: Would you betray your kingdom for your soulmate?

Shapeshifter Theodori Hunter Wolfborn must conquer the kingdom of Siacchi to prove his worth. To do so, he kidnaps a man known for his strategic genius – a champion in the much-revered and ancient game of dominance and submission, Cesse. A man who will help Theo secure a clean, bloodless victory.

Only, Theo has kidnapped the wrong person.

Luka Lockehart, renowned Cesse player, has trained all his life to hide his stigmatized abilities to shapeshift, guided by the unwavering hand of his mother. He never expected he would have to put his training into practice when he is kidnapped by a northern warlord – and he certainly didn’t expect to find this man – this monster – so attractive. Now he must hide his feelings and his identity, for if Theo finds out that he is not the man he says he is, it is not only Luka’s life that is forfeit, but his entire country.

Luka and Theo are locked in a deadly game. As the secrets between them only continue to grow, so does the unmistakable pull they feel toward each other, even when such feelings might very well ruin all they’ve ever hoped to achieve.

Something has to break. It will be their kingdoms – or their hearts.
