Concurrent Learning and Information Processing

the long version

Many monitoring, forecasting, and control operations occur in settings where relationships among key measurements must be learned quickly. Examples are on-line industrial processes where influent material is not consistent over time, energy load or price forecasting where demand characteristics change rapidly,and health management where relationships among monitored variables must be learned for each patient-treatment combination. The solution presented is a new neuro-computing system that learns in real-time, even when data arrival rates are several million measurements per second. The book describes benefits and features of the system, statistical foundations for the system, and several related models. The book also describes available system software.
