Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

​The field of artificial intelligence relies on a deep understanding of mathematics, statistics and computer science to create algorithms that can learn from data and make intelligent decisions. However, due to the lack of data and bias in data, as well as the complexity of real-world systems, there are still many challenges in this field, including mathematical foundations and modelling in artificial intelligence, better optimization algorithms, interpretability of artificial intelligence, and building AI algorithms to solve specific application problems. Since mathematics is the foundation of artificial intelligence, and the integration of mathematical and computing sciences plays a crucial role in advancing AI research, this Special Issue aims to explore the latest developments, methodologies, and applications that highlight the synergy between mathematics, computing, and AI. We welcome original research papers addressing various aspects of mathematical and computing sciences for artificial intelligence. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Optimization algorithms and machine learning;
  • Probabilistic modeling and Bayesian inference in AI;
  • Reinforcement learning and control theory;
  • Adversarial attacks and defense in AI;
  • Game theory and AI decision;
  • Mathematical approaches to explainable AI;
  • Graph theory and network analysis for AI systems;
  • Natural language processing and computational linguistics;
  • Mathematical modeling for computer vision;
  • The applications of AI in the field of medical sciences.

The proliferation of smart devices in the 5G era of industrial IoT (IIoT) produces significant traffic data, some of which is encrypted malicious traffic, creating a significant problem for malicious traffic detection. Malicious traffic classification is one of the most efficient techniques for detecting malicious traffic. Although it is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process to gather large labeled datasets, the majority of prior studies on the classification of malicious traffic use supervised learning approaches and provide decent classification results when a substantial quantity of labeled data is available. This paper proposes a semi-supervised learning approach for classifying malicious IIoT traffic. The approach utilizes the encoder–decoder model framework to classify the traffic, even with a limited amount of labeled data available. We sample and normalize the data during the data-processing stage. In the semi-supervised model-building stage, we first pre-train a model on a large unlabeled dataset. Subsequently, we transfer the learned weights to a new model, which is then retrained using a small labeled dataset. We also offer an edge intelligence model that considers aspects such as computation latency, transmission latency, and privacy protection to improve the model’s performance. To achieve the lowest total latency and to reduce the risk of privacy leakage, we first create latency and privacy-protection models for each local, edge, and cloud. Then, we optimize the total latency and overall privacy level. In the study of IIoT malicious traffic classification, experimental results demonstrate that our method reduces the model training and classification time with 97.55% accuracy; moreover, our approach boosts the privacy-protection factor.
