Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) have profoundly impacted various fields, such as cybersecurity, big data analytics, digital twins, internet of things (IoT), image processing, cloud computing, agriculture, and industry 4.0. In particular, AI and ML techniques have achieved rapid technological improvement by overcoming various problems that traditional solutions were not able to address. However, the current AI and ML models have significant limits and difficulties, restricting their use to handling specific problems in limited areas. AI and ML solutions of the next generation will presumably eliminate the shortcomings of the current generation. Researchers and practitioners are working on a variety of areas to realize next-gen AI, including improved explainability, trust, and reliability; new AI paradigms, such as federated learning, bio-inspired AI models, neuro-symbolic AI, and quantum AI; specialized AI hardware, software, and data models; enhanced AI–human collaboration (collaborative intelligence); and efforts to move closer to artificial general intelligence (AGI).

As a result, this Special Issue aims to offer a distinctive academic forum for presenting recent advances in AI and ML techniques and applications across various fields. In addition to original research articles, we encourage surveys, experience reports, and case studies on the latest developments and applications of AI.

The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

  • Next-gen AI applications (in environmental science, green information and communication technologies, digital twins, industry, healthcare, automotive, financial services, manufacturing, agriculture, and other areas);
  • green artificial intelligence;
  • artificial intelligence for cybersecurity;
  • artificial intelligence for image processing;
  • artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies;
  • artificial intelligence and big data;
  • artificial intelligence and IoT;
  • artificial intelligence and cloud computing;
  • artificial intelligence and edge computing;
  • security and trustworthiness of AI.

In this paper, we introduce the application of a profiling system to suggest appropriate employee profiles for project assignments based on task specifications. The primary objective of this system is to assist managers in gaining a comprehensive understanding of their employees’ profiles and motivations. Our research introduces a recommendation system that relies on a profiling approach, analyzing messages and publications shared within a professional network. The proposed system is composed of two main components. The first component focuses on profiling, extracting relevant information from the company’s Human resources (HR) data, identifying interests, and establishing a psychological profile from publications exchanged within the professional platform. The second component is dedicated to recommending profiles that closely align with the specific requirements of each project. Our system yields promising results in predicting favored candidates for projects, achieving an accuracy of 0.92 and an F-score of 0.94. By integrating message-based profiling and leveraging data from professional networks, our approach proves to be effective in recommending well-suited candidates for various projects. Full article

This study aims to investigate the influence of emerging digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing, on the digital intensity index (DII). The research method employed involves quantitative analysis of the indicators regarding DII and emerging digital technologies, conducted based on data published by Eurostat for EU members in 2021. During our research, we formulated and tested hypotheses about the relationship between the DII and emerging digital technologies, and the effect on the DII of using AI-based technologies in various economic processes. The formulated hypotheses were validated via four regression models designed during this study, using the most relevant factors. Our research results demonstrate that the DII is positively influenced by emerging IoT and cloud computing digital technologies, as well as the use of AI technologies based on machine learning and AI-based robotic process automation (RPA) software. Furthermore, the same positive influence was identified in human resource management and recruitment processes compared to the intensity with which these technologies are used in other economic processes. Based on these findings, this study offers persuasive arguments for implementing emerging digital technologies at the EU organizational level to achieve significant increases in digitalization levels.

Feature selection has become essential in classification problems with numerous features. This process involves removing redundant, noisy, and negatively impacting features from the dataset to enhance the classifier’s performance. Some features are less useful than others or do not correlate with the system’s evaluation, and their removal does not affect the system’s performance. In most cases, removing features with a monotonically decreasing impact on the system’s performance increases accuracy. Therefore, this research aims to propose a dimensionality reduction method using a feature selection technique to enhance accuracy. This paper proposes a novel feature-selection approach that combines filter and wrapper techniques to select optimal features using Mutual Information with the Sequential Forward Method and 10-fold cross-validation. Results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce features by more than 75% in datasets with large features and achieve a maximum accuracy of 97%. The algorithm outperforms or performs similarly to existing ones. The proposed algorithm could be a better option for classification problems with minimized features. Full article
