This book deals with the exciting, seminal topic of Online Machine Learning (OML). The content is divided into three parts: the first part looks in detail at the theoretical foundations of OML, comparing it to Batch Machine Learning (BML) and discussing what criteria should be developed for a meaningful comparison. The second part provides practical considerations, and the third part substantiates them with concrete practical applications.The book is equally suitable as a reference manual for experts dealing with OML, as a textbook for beginners who want to deal with OML, and as a scientific publication for scientists dealing with OML since it reflects the latest state of research. But it can also serve as quasi OML consulting since decision-makers and practitioners can use the explanations to tailor OML to their needs and use it for their application and ask whether the benefits of OML might outweigh the costs.OML will soon become practical; it is worthwhile to get involved with it now. This book already presents some tools that will facilitate the practice of OML in the future. A promising breakthrough is expected because practice shows that due to the large amounts of data that accumulate, the previous BML is no longer sufficient. OML is the solution to evaluate and process data streams in real-time and deliver results that are relevant for practice.In addition to this book, interactive Jupyter Notebooks and further material about OML are provided in the GitHub repository (https://github.com/sn-code-inside/online-machine-learning). The repository is continuously maintained, so the notebooks may change over time.

Dieses Buch beschreibt Theorie und Anwendungen aus dem Bereich des Online Maschine Learnings (OML), wobei der Fokus auf Verfahren des überwachten Lernens liegt. Es werden Verfahren zur Drifterkennung und -behandlung beschrieben. Verfahren zur nachträglichen Aktualisierung der Modelle sowie Methoden zur Modellbewertung werden dargestellt. Besondere Anforderungen aus der amtlichen Statistik (unbalancierte Daten, Interpretierbarkeit, etc.) werden berücksichtigt. Aktuelle und mögliche Anwendungen werden aufgelistet. Ein Überblick über die verfügbaren Software-Tools wird gegeben. Anhand von zwei Studien (¿simulierten Anwendungen¿) werden Vor- und Nachteile des OML-Einsatz in der Praxis experimentell analysiert.Das Buch eignet sich als Handbuch für Experten, Lehrbuch für Anfänger und wissenschaftliche Publikation, da es den neuesten Stand der Forschung wiedergibt. Es kann auch als OML-Consulting dienen, indem Entscheider und Praktiker OML anpassen und für ihre Anwendung einsetzen, um abzuwägen, ob die Vorteile die Kosten aufwiegen.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature, PPSN 2013, held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, in September 2014. The total of 90 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 217 submissions. The meeting began with 7 workshops which offered an ideal opportunity to explore specific topics in evolutionary computation, bio-inspired computing and metaheuristics. PPSN XIII also included 9 tutorials. The papers are organized in topical sections on adaption, self-adaption and parameter tuning; classifier system, differential evolution and swarm intelligence; coevolution and artificial immune systems; constraint handling; dynamic and uncertain environments; estimation of distribution algorithms and metamodelling; genetic programming; multi-objective optimisation; parallel algorithms and hardware implementations; real world applications; and theory.

Transportation systems in buildings are part of everyday life: whether ferrying people twenty storeys up to the office or moving luggage at the airport, 21st-century society relies on them. This book presents the latest in analysis and control of transportation systems in buildings focusing primarily on elevator groups.
