Information fusion is becoming a major requirement in data mining and knowledge discovery in databases. This book presents some recent fusion techniques that are currently in use in data mining, as well as data mining applications that use information fusion. Special focus of the book is on information fusion in preprocessing, model building and information extraction with various applications.
