President of INESC Porto’s Scientific Advisory Board publishes new books

José Carlos Príncipe, President of INESC Porto’s Scientific Advisory Board and professor/researcher at the University of Florida (USA), recently published two books entitled Information Theoretic Learning and Kernel Adaptive Filtering.  

The Information Theoretic Learning, published in Springer’s series Information Science and Statistics, presents for the first time the theory and the algorithms for a cohesive treatment of Learning based on Information Theoretic Learning (ITL), so that it is possible to adapt linear and non-linear learning machines in supervised and unsupervised paradigms.

On the other hand, the book Kernel Adaptive Filtering – A Comprehensive Introduction, published in Wiley’s series Adaptive and Learning Systems for Signal Processing, Communications and Control, addresses, also for the first time, the representation of adaptive filters in Hilbert spaces, a theme of current interest for signal processing, communications and control applications. This way, the book is especially for students interested in nonlinear adaptive systems for online applications. 

José Carlos Príncipe, professor and researcher at the University of Florida, and specialized in the area of Electric and Biomedical Engineering, won the “IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Career Achievement Award” Career Award  in 2007 for his exceptional contribution to Biomedical Engineering.
