Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is devoted to the new standards, technologies, and communication systems for artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) networks. Smart and intelligent communication networks have gained significant attention due to the combination of AI and IoT networks to improve human and machine interfaces and enhance data processing and services. AIoT networks involve the collection of data from billions of devices and sensor nodes from the environment. AI can enhance these networks to make them faster, greener, smarter, and safer. Computer vision, language processing, and speech recognition are some examples of AIoT networks. Due to the large number of devices in today’s world, efficient and intelligent data processing is essential for problem solving and decision making. AI multiplies the value of these networks and promotes intelligence and learning capabilities, especially in homes, offices, and cities. However, several challenges have been observed in deploying AIoT networks, such as scalability, complexity, accuracy, and robustness. In addition, these networks are integrated with cloud, 5G networks, and blockchain methods for service provision. Many different solutions have been proposed to address issues related to machine and deep learning methods, ontology-based approaches, genetic algorithms, fuzzy-based systems, and quantum computing. This Special Issue aims to contribute to the state of the art and present current standards, technologies, and approaches for AIoT networks. This Special Issue focuses on existing issues in AIoT network technologies and applications. The Guest Editors invite papers on topics including, but not limited to:

  • AIoT interoperability and mobility;
  • AIoT for smart healthcare networks;
  • AIoT for smart home appliances;
  • AIoT solutions for smart city networks;
  • AIoT smart industrial networks;
  • Advanced AIoT design and architecture;
  • Machine and deep learning with IoT networks and systems;
  • Quantum computing for AIoT;
  • Security solutions for AIoT networks;
  • Trust models for AIoT networks;
  • Routing solutions for AIoT networks;
  • Blockchain solution for AIoT;
  • Green AIoT networks;
  • Data analytics for AIoT;
  • Cyber-physical systems.

For classifying brain tumors with small datasets, the knowledge-based transfer learning (KBTL) approach has performed very well in attaining an optimized classification model. However, its successful implementation is typically affected by different hyperparameters, specifically the learning rate (LR), batch size (BS), and their joint influence. In general, most of the existing research could not achieve the desired performance because the work addressed only one hyperparameter tuning. This study adopted a Cartesian product matrix-based approach, to interpret the effect of both hyperparameters and their interaction on the performance of models. To evaluate their impact, 56 two-tuple hyperparameters from the Cartesian product matrix were used as inputs to perform an extensive exercise, comprising 504 simulations for three cutting-edge architecture-based pre-trained Deep Learning (DL) models, ResNet18, ResNet50, and ResNet101. Additionally, the impact was also assessed by using three well-known optimizers (solvers): SGDM, Adam, and RMSProp. The performance assessment showed that the framework is an efficient framework to attain optimal values of two important hyperparameters (LR and BS) and consequently an optimized model with an accuracy of 99.56%. Further, our results showed that both hyperparameters have a significant impact individually as well as interactively, with a trade-off in between. Further, the evaluation space was extended by using the statistical ANOVA analysis to validate the main findings. F-test returned with p < 0.05, confirming that both hyperparameters not only have a significant impact on the model performance independently, but that there exists an interaction between the hyperparameters for a combination of their levels.
