This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of current Machine Learning research and its exploitation in various application areas. It has become apparent that the deep integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods in products and services is essential for companies to stay competitive. The use of AI allows large volumes of data to be analyzed, patterns and trends to be identified, and well-founded decisions to be made on an informative basis. It also enables the optimization of workflows, the automation of processes and the development of new services, thus creating potential for new business models and significant competitive advantages. The book is divided in two main parts: First, in a theoretically oriented part, various AI ML-related approaches like automated Machine Learning, sequence-based learning, Deep Learning, learning from experience and data, and process-aware learning are explained. In a second part, various applications are presented that benefit from the exploitation of recent research results. These include autonomous systems, indoor localization, medical applications, energy supply and networks, logistics networks, traffic control, image processing, and IoT applications. In the past few years Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) has gained a lot of traction in the Data Science and Machine Learning community. AutoML aims at reducing the partly repetitive work of data scientists and enabling domain experts to construct Machine Learning pipelines without extensive knowledge in Data Science. The Chapter 1 presents a comprehensive review of the current leading AutoML methods and sets AutoML in an industrial context. To this extent we present the typical components of an AutoML system, give an overview over the state-of-the-art and highlight challenges to industrial application by presenting several important topics such as AutoML for time series data, AutoML in unsupervised settings, AutoML with multiple evaluation criteria, or interactive human-in-the-loop methods.
