Intelligent Decision Technologies, 1st ed. 2020 Proceedings of the 12th KES International Conference on Intelligent Decision Technologies (KES-IDT 2020) Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies Series, Vol. 193

This book gathers selected papers from the KES-IDT-2020 Conference, held as a Virtual Conference on June 17?19, 2020.  The aim of the annual conference was to present and discuss the latest research results, and to generate new ideas in the field of intelligent decision-making. However, the range of topics discussed during the conference was definitely broader and covered methods in e.g. classification, prediction, data analysis, big data, data science, decision support, knowledge engineering, and modeling in such diverse areas as finance, cybersecurity, economics, health, management and transportation. The Problems in Industry 4.0 and IoT are also addressed. 

The book contains several sections devoted to specific topics, such as 

Intelligent Data Processing and its Applications

High-Dimensional Data Analysis and its Applications

Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis ? Theory and Applications

Large-Scale Systems for Intelligent Decision-Making and Knowledge Engineering

Decision Technologies and Related Topics in Big Data Analysis of Social and Financial Issues

Decision-Making Theory for Economics
