There is a need, then, to provide a reusable, broadly-applicable set of design patterns to empower the intelligent system architect to take advantage of this opportunity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book explains how to design and build intelligent systems that are optimized for changing system requirements (adaptability), optimized for changing system input (robustness), and optimized for one or more other important system parameters (e.g., accuracy, efficiency, cost). It provides an overview of traditional parallel processing which is shown to consist primarily of task and component parallelism; before introducing meta-algorithmic parallelism which is based on combining two or more algorithms, classification engines or other systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey features: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains the entire roadmap for the design, testing, development, refinement, deployment and statistics-driven optimization of building systems for intelligence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers an accessible yet thorough overview of machine intelligence, in addition to having a strong image processing focus\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains design patterns for parallelism, especially meta-algorithmic parallelism - simply conveyed, reusable and proven effective that can be readily included in the toolbox of experts in analytics, system architecture, big data, security and many other science and engineering disciplines\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConnects algorithms and analytics to parallelism, thereby illustrating a new way of designing intelligent systems compatible with the tremendous changes in the computing world over the past decade\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses application of the approaches to a wide number of fields; primarily, document understanding, image understanding, biometrics and security printing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompanion website contains sample code and data sets\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven J.
