Samenvatting:

A number of di?erent instruments for design can be uni?ed in the context of lattice theory towards cross-fertilization By“latticetheory”[1]wemean,equivalently,eitherapartialordering relation [2,3]ora couple of binary algebraic operations [3, 4].

The emergence of lattice theory within the field of computational intelligence (CI) is partially due to its proven effectiveness in neural computation. Moreover, lattice theory has the potential to unify a number of diverse concepts and aid in the cross-fertilization of both tools and ideas within the numerous subfields of CI. The compilation of this eighteen-chapter book is an initiative towards proliferating established knowledge in the hope to further expand it. This edited book is a balanced synthesis of four parts emphasizing, in turn, neural computation, mathematical morphology, machine learning, and (fuzzy) inference/logic. The articles here demonstrate how lattice theory may suggest viable alternatives in practical clustering, classification, pattern analysis, and regression applications.
