Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

To optimize and manage modern industrial systems as well as facilities, many factors must be taken into account. Modern technologies in all sectors of activity depend on large amounts of sensors and data that facilitate multivariable analyses via algorithms to support decision making in the short, middle, and long terms. Classical and deep learning machine models have boosted the capacity to analyze large volumes of data and extract patterns that greatly contribute to informed decisions, making intelligent systems more prevalent and an important part of all organizations.

Industries and large institutions are always concerned about adjusting capacity and minimizing costs, in order to meet demand without delays or the excessive use of resources. This drives research focused on models that can provide consistent support in decision-making processes. Prediction techniques based on time series models and artificial intelligence are being used more frequently to meet these challenges and contribute to more informed decisions.

This Special Issue aims to cover the latest research, so that decisions made on the basis of the algorithms proposed are sound, adequate, and contribute to facilitate management as well as operational decisions. Original contributions on the above aspects, and related topics, are encouraged.

The International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition (ICD-10), has been widely used for the classification of patient diagnostic information. This classification is usually performed by dedicated physicians with specific coding training, and it is a laborious task. Automatic classification is a challenging task for the domain of natural language processing. Therefore, automatic methods have been proposed to aid the classification process. This paper proposes a method where Cosine text similarity is combined with a pretrained language model, PLM-ICD, in order to increase the number of probably useful suggestions of ICD-10 codes, based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV dataset. The results show that a strategy of using multiple runs, and bucket category search, in the Cosine method, improves the results, providing more useful suggestions. Also, the use of a strategy composed by the Cosine method and PLM-ICD, which was called PLM-ICD-C, provides better results than just the PLM-ICD. Full article

In the food domain, text mining techniques are extensively employed to derive valuable insights from large volumes of text data, facilitating applications such as aiding food recalls, offering personalized recipes, and reinforcing food safety regulation. To provide researchers and practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of the latest technology and application scenarios of text mining in the food domain, the pertinent literature is reviewed and analyzed. Initially, the fundamental concepts, principles, and primary tasks of text mining, encompassing text categorization, sentiment analysis, and entity recognition, are elucidated. Subsequently, an analysis of diverse types of data sources within the food domain and the characteristics of text data mining is conducted, spanning social media, reviews, recipe websites, and food safety reports. Furthermore, the applications of text mining in the food domain are scrutinized from the perspective of various scenarios, including leveraging consumer food reviews and feedback to enhance product quality, providing personalized recipe recommendations based on user preferences and dietary requirements, and employing text mining for food safety and fraud monitoring. Lastly, the opportunities and challenges associated with the adoption of text mining techniques in the food domain are summarized and evaluated. In conclusion, text mining holds considerable potential for application in the food domain, thereby propelling the advancement of the food industry and upholding food safety standards. Full article
