IJIMAI 2023 - Regular Issue - Vol. 8 Issue 2

  • Year: 2023
  • Vol: 8
  • Number: 2

Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents one of the fastest growing areas of knowledge, sectors and fields of action globally. This growth has allowed to mark different positions, where the most favorable ones are oriented to its unquestionable contribution to facilitate decision making in various fields of society, as well as other sectors that mark a strong position for its use to be carried out in a regulated and measured way due to the scope and risks to which we are exposed. For this reason, rigorous methods are increasingly required for the design and development of AI-based computational models; methods that involve strict mechanisms for their validation, as well as the analysis of possible risks and scope that they may have on the field of application where they are being exposed. This type of aspects would definitely mark a valuable and relevant milestone to define several paths within which we can find two: 1) if it is definitely necessary to set limits on the use of AI by establishing increasingly sophisticated regulatory frameworks on various areas involving data protection and regulated use of the same, and 2) to remove all barriers so that it can be exploited openly in all its dimensions in any area of our society. Hence the importance of analysing the different risks and threats that AI may present within the particular context in which it is being applied.
Based on this panorama, this regular edition of the “International Journal Interactive Multimedia and Artificial Intelligence” presents a series of papers where proposals are oriented to different fields and sectors, which make use of diverse approaches, methods, models and AI-based systems that allow us to have a generalized idea of how these challenges are being addressed in some fields of our society. In particular, this regular issue collects research topics focusing on addressing the problems of evolving recommender systems, classification models, decision support systems, system modelling, data analytics, optimization algorithms, image retrieval, deep neural networks, social network analysis, and the relevance of the design of User Experience (UX) proposals.

IJIMAI 2023 - Special Issue on AI-driven Algorithms and Applications in the Dynamic and Evolving Environments - Vol. 8 Issue 1

  • Year: 2023
  • Vol: 8
  • Number: 1

With the rapid development of information and communication technologies, artificial intelligence and IoTs, more and more advanced technologies, such as machine learning, reinforcement learning, neural networks and fuzzy systems, have been introduced into industrial practices. The application of advanced technologies has greatly promoted the process of industrial revolution. However, there is big gap between controlled simulation and real evolving environment, which results in the unsatisfactory performance of the typical algorithms in practical environments. For example, in
Underwater IoTs, a dynamic and uncertain marine environment can cause equipment damage, resulting in huge financial losses. Therefore, improving the robustness and adaptability of algorithms and systems, and proposing new solutions in practical applications to meet the requirements of self-developing, self-organizing, and evolving systems is essential to promote intelligent industrial applications.
This Research Topic aims to collect researches focusing on addressing the problems of evolving system modelling, clustering, classification, prediction and control in non-stationary, unpredictable environments. The scope of this topic includes: (1) Robustness of environment modeling in evolutionary system, (2) Robustness of artificial intelligence algorithms, (3) Adaptability of neural networks and systems, (4) Prediction of intelligent algorithms in dynamic environments, (5) Improvement of robustness in deep learning algorithms, (6) Interpretability of predictive models in dynamic environments, (7) Application of AI technology in Industrial Internet of Things, (8) Uncertainty in Intelligent Transportation System, (9) The dynamic environment of Underwater Internet of Things, (10) Applications and migration of intelligent algorithms.

IJIMAI 2022 - Special Issue on Multimedia Streaming and Processing in Internet of Things with Edge Intelligence - Vol. 7 Issue 5

  • Year: 2022
  • Vol: 7
  • Number: 5

As the Internet of Things (IoT) further develops and expands to the Internet of Everything (IoE), high-speed multimedia streaming data processing, analysis, and shorter response times are increasingly becoming the demands of today. Driven by the Internet of Things (IoT), a new computing paradigm, Edge computing, is currently developing rapidly. Compared with traditional centralized generalpurpose computing, Edge computing is a distributed architecture. The operations of applications, data and services are moved from the central node of the network to the edge nodes on the network logic for processing. Under this structure, the analysis of data and the generation of knowledge are closer to the source of the data, so it is more suitable for processing. However, with the rapid development of 5G, IoT and other services and scenarios, there are more and more intelligent terminal devices. Multimedia streaming processing in IoT becomes a very prominent problem. To overcome this problem, the adoption of intelligent Edge or Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered Edge computing (Edge-AI) can achieve the goals of lower cost, higher security, lower latency, and ease of management.
Recently, many network modeling methods, computing algorithms, and signal processing technologies have been successfully developed and applied to multimedia streaming processing in IoT with Edge Intelligence. A total of 13 papers are presented in this special issue for the purpose of collecting the latest developments and results on this research topic. We divide them into three categories: production and life applications, security, and text and image processing.

IJIMAI 2022 - Special Issue on Artificial Intelligence in Economics, Finance and Business - Vol. 7 Issue 3

  • Year: 2022
  • Vol: 7
  • Number: 3

Machine learning (ML) is generating new opportunities for innovative research in areas apparently unrelated such as, economics, business or/and finance. Specifically, it has also been widely used in applications related to the economic and financial analysis, such as economic recessions prediction, labor market trends, risk management, prices analysis among others. However, it is important to note the differences between classical statistics/econometrics and machine learning. On the one hand, econometrics set out to build models designed to describe economic problems, while machine learning uses algorithms, generally for prediction, classification, and also, can manage a large amount of structured and unstructured data and make fast decisions or forecasts. As S. Athey points out, perhaps “a key advantage of ML is that it frames empirical analysis in terms of algorithms that estimate and compare many alternative models. This approach contrasts with econometrics, where (in principle, though rarely in reality) the researcher picks a model based on principles and estimates it once”. This Special Issue presents nine contributions that illustrate both approaches in the domain of economics, finance and business.
