Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques have become increasingly prominent in scientific disciplines such as computer vision, natural language processing, and speech recognition. These methodologies are now being implemented across various domains, including industrial, energy, vehicular technologies, financial, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, agricultural, and logistic systems. This Special Issue aims to report on recent advances in state-of-the-art research on artificial intelligence and machine learning fields. Further, this Special Issue also focuses on the development of novel AI and ML algorithms for engineering applications.

The research domains may include (but are not limited to):

  • Neural architecture search;
  • AutoML;
  • Evolutionary deep learning;
  • Hyperparameter optimization;
  • Deep neuroevolution;
  • Deep reinforcement learning;
  • AI/ML algorithms for Cloud computing;
  • AI/ML algorithms for communication and sensing;
  • AI/ML algorithms for smart energy applications to smart cities;
  • AI/ML algorithms for wireless IoT;
  • AI/ML algorithms for e-Governance, socio-political, and economic systems.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a major global health concern, but interpreting machine learning models for diagnosis remains challenging. This study investigates combining association rule mining with advanced natural language processing to improve both diagnostic accuracy and interpretability. This novel approach has not been explored before in using pretrained transformers for diabetes classification on tabular data. Methods: The study used the Pima Indians Diabetes dataset to investigate Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Python and Jupyter Notebook were employed for analysis, with the NiaARM framework for association rule mining. LightGBM and the dalex package were used for performance comparison and feature importance analysis, respectively. SHAP was used for local interpretability. OpenAI GPT version 3.5 was utilized for outcome prediction and interpretation. The source code is available on GitHub. Results: NiaARM generated 350 rules to predict diabetes. LightGBM performed better than the GPT-based model. A comparison of GPT and NiaARM rules showed disparities, prompting a similarity score analysis. LightGBM’s decision making leaned heavily on glucose, age, and BMI, as highlighted in feature importance rankings. Beeswarm plots demonstrated how feature values correlate with their influence on diagnosis outcomes. Discussion: Combining association rule mining with GPT for Type 2 diabetes mellitus classification yields limited effectiveness. Enhancements like preprocessing and hyperparameter tuning are required. Interpretation challenges and GPT’s dependency on provided rules indicate the necessity for prompt engineering and similarity score methods. Variations in feature importance rankings underscore the complexity of T2DM. Concerns regarding GPT’s reliability emphasize the importance of iterative approaches for improving prediction accuracy.
