Machine Learning Algorithms for Problem Solving in Computational Applications

Models and Applications of Tourists' Travel Behavior provides an overview of all possible approaches to modeling tourists' travel behavior, helping readers decide which theoretical approach should be chosen depending on the available type of data. It focuses on the connection between traditional travel behavior theories and tourist studies and introduces specific tourist contexts in travel demand modelling. It goes beyond the theoretical background of tourist travel behavior modeling and offers a practical understanding for choosing the right model and sourcing the right data. The book begins with the role of transport in tourist' travel behavior, then employs a literature review to establish the necessary background on the topic. It then goes on to describe theoretical approaches, descriptive approaches, and statistical approaches for modelling. It discusses choice models based on both Stated Preference Data and Revealed Preference Data. It concludes with chapters on machine learning

Federated Learning for the Metaverse: Applications in Virtual Environments provides readers with insights into how federated learning, a decentralized machine learning paradigm, can be strategically applied to address critical aspects of the metaverse. The book covers a wide range of topics, including privacy-preserving personalization, security, collaboration, adaptive learning environments, real-time communication, decentralized governance, language understanding, immersive learning experiences, avatar customization, and dynamic scene rendering.
