Soft Computing for Problem Solving

This book provides an insight into the 11th International Conference on Soft Computing for Problem Solving (SocProS 2022). This international conference is a joint technical collaboration of the Soft Computing Research Society and the Indian Institute of Technology Mandi. This book presents the latest achievements and innovations in the interdisciplinary areas of Soft Computing, Machine Learning, and Data Science. It brings together the researchers, engineers, and practitioners to discuss thought-provoking developments and challenges, in order to select potential future directions. It covers original research papers in the areas including but not limited to algorithms (artificial neural network, deep learning, statistical methods, genetic algorithm, and particle swarm optimization) and applications (data mining and clustering, computer vision, medical and healthcare, finance, data envelopment analysis, business, and forecasting applications). This book is beneficial for young as well as experienced researchers dealing across complex and intricate real-world problems for which finding a solution by traditional methods is a difficult task.
