HANDBOOK OF RANDOM FORESTSTheory and Applications for Remote Sensingby Ronny Hänsch (Technische Universität Berlin, Germany)

This compendium provides a hands-on description of random forests. The text starts with a consistent introduction of general methods to create, train, and fuse ensembles of decision trees. Instead of limiting the explanation to the general-purpose layout of traditional random forests, this book outlines specifications during tree creation and training, that are especially well suited to analyze structured data such as images. The theoretical foundations are explained as deeply as practical and implementation issues. The many possible variations of the underlying Random Forest model are discussed as well as their implications on the outcome in order to provide insights into the influence of these parameters and their possible side-effects. Last but not least, this unique title provides specific examples of the usage of Random Forests for analysis tasks of remote sensing imagery.

SLIDING – ROLLING CONTACT AND IN-HAND MANIPULATIONby Lei Cui (Curtin University, Australia) & Jian S Dai (King’s College London, UK)

Robots interact with the world through curves and surfaces — the subjects of study in differential geometry. This book applies the moving-frame method, developed extensively by lie Cartan, and the adjoint approach, conceived by Ernesto Cesàro, to study the kinematics of two surfaces subject to rolling contact and sliding – rolling contact to demonstrate the applications in robotic in-hand manipulation.

Firstly, it explores two surfaces, and the geometry of both surfaces comes into play. Secondly, the book focuses on the geometry of the two surfaces within the encompassing space (extrinsic) rather than within the surfaces (intrinsic) because the book is concerned with the kinematics of one surface in three-dimensional Euclidean space — the real world. The book then concludes by applying this approach in robotic in-hand manipulation in the last chapter.

Readership: Undergraduate students, graduate students, engineers, and researchers in the field of biorobotics.

It has immense applications, and not surprisingly a large number of papers have been written on it. Yet, currently there is no book that is entirely devoted to this subject. We fill this gap, and gather not only many valuable articles into a single book, but also organize knowledge, explain some key results, and give presentable outlines. The work we do for the reader saves valuable time and also points to connections for those who are just getting familiar with the area.

NEW MATHEMATICS AND NATURAL COMPUTATION (NMNC)https://www.worldscientific.com/nmnc

Managing Editor: Shu-Heng Chen (National Chengchi University)

About NMNC: Aims & Scope Recognizing the world is full of vague-ness and uncertainty, this journal has chosen three very focused areas of research: i. Mathematics of Uncertaintyii. Economics & Finances iii. Cognitive Science

The close cooperation of the above three areas is of paramount importance. This journal strongly encourages the suggestions of any topic within these three general areas of research. The journal has demonstrated there is room for artificial intelligence & modern control theory in contributing solutions to some selected economic problems. We shall continue to explore other possibilities. A new initiative on cognitive science and economics is a good example.

Over the years, this journal has published some papers on pattern recognition, image processing, and natural languages vis-a-vis artificial intelligence. We welcome any proposal on worthy new initiatives.
