Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial Intelligence (AI) “the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence” has been used in transportation, entertainment, sports, education, banking, and healthcare for quite some time now and has facilitated in the automation and has enhanced the quality in the above mentioned fields. In parallel, new Digital Technologies (DT) are supporting the raising living standards and increasing the labour productivity in industries, healthcare, education, and agriculture. For example, DT can increase productivity by reducing machine downtime. However, the outcomes of digitalization depends on how DTs are governed.

AI and DTs are linked together and working in tendam to create new opportunities, improve the existing technologies/services, and fulfill the emerging needs. AI powered systems can better respond to new information or unexpected changes compared to standard automated systems. AI powered systems can predict maintenance needs, work more quickly, precisely, and consistently. Digital Transformation (DX) is an important initiative many organizations have undertaken the transformation. However, AI is the key towards DX while efficiently and intelligently utilizing DTs in any organization. DT supporting DX can better be achieved with proper implementation and utilization of AI. Research work supporting the above topics are the focus of this Special Issue to extend the research and development work in the field of Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Data Science, Artificial Intelligance, Digital Technologies, and Digital Transformation.

This Special Issue will accept high-quality original research papers and review papers in the overlapping fields of:

  • Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies
  • AI in Digital Transformation
  • DT in Digital Transformation
  • AI and DT in Health Informatics
  • AI and DT in Entertainment, Sports, Banking, Telecommunication, Transportation, and Education

Clustering is an effective statistical data analysis technique; it has several applications, including data mining, pattern recognition, image analysis, bioinformatics, and machine learning. Clustering helps to partition data into groups of objects with distinct characteristics. Most of the methods for clustering use manually selected parameters to find the clusters from the dataset. Consequently, it can be very challenging and time-consuming to extract the optimal parameters for clustering a dataset. Moreover, some clustering methods are inadequate for locating clusters in high-dimensional data. To address these concerns systematically, this paper introduces a novel selection-free clustering technique named data point positioning analysis (DPPA). The proposed method is straightforward since it calculates 1-NN and Max-NN by analyzing the data point placements without the requirement of an initial manual parameter assignment. This method is validated using two well-known publicly available datasets used in several clustering algorithms. To compare the performance of the proposed method, this study also investigated four popular clustering algorithms (DBSCAN, affinity propagation, Mean Shift, and K-means), where the proposed method provides higher performance in finding the cluster without using any manually selected parameters. The experimental finding demonstrated that the proposed DPPA algorithm is less time-consuming compared to the existing traditional methods and achieves higher performance without using any manually selected parameters.
