Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, Artificial Intelligent (AI) emerged as a game-changing technology that penetrated a wide range of applications such as smart healthcare, intelligent manufacturing, smart transportation, financial technology, etc. The integration of AI and the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a research trend to improve the user experience while boosting productivity. For instance, smart systems have enabled the continuously collection of environmental data while accordingly performing various analyses. Despite the methodological breakthrough across computer vision and natural language processing outperforming human beings, the development of intelligent applications is still facing various challenges in response to different domains. The possible challenges range from data processing, computer modeling, domain adaptation, intelligent optimization, control theory, network technology, etc.

In the context of this special issue, researchers are encouraged to explore how mathematical modelling and analysis techniques can be applied to improve AI algorithms and systems. Optimization methods may be employed to develop efficient algorithms capable of handling large datasets in real-time. Numerical methods can be used to analyze and solve complex mathematical models that arise in AI applications. Control theory methods may be developed to ensure that AI systems operate safely and effectively in various environments. Additionally, network technology can be leveraged to enhance the scalability and performance of distributed AI systems. By utilizing these mathematical approaches, researchers can improve the theoretical foundations of AI and devise practical solutions to real-world problems.

This Special Issue will concentrate on both the theoretical and practical of Artificial Intelligence in the application of Industry Internet of Things, Intelligent Transportation, and intelligence systems across different environments and semiconductor process modeling. Thus, we offer the opportunity for researchers to continuously explore new promising research directions while contributing to the research area. Topics include but are not limited to:

  • Computer vision;
  • Pattern recognition;
  • Optimization methods;
  • Numerical methods for intelligent systems;
  • Financial technology;
  • Smart Manufacturing.

This research addresses the lack of publicly available datasets for Bangladeshi medicinal plants by presenting a comprehensive dataset comprising 5000 images of ten species collected under controlled conditions. To improve performance, several preprocessing techniques were employed, such as image selection, background removal, unsharp masking, contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization, and morphological gradient. Then, we applied five state-of-the-art deep learning models to achieve benchmark performance on the dataset: VGG16, ResNet50, DenseNet201, InceptionV3, and Xception. Among these models, DenseNet201 demonstrated the highest accuracy of 85.28%. In addition to benchmarking the deep learning models, three novel neural network architectures were developed: dense-residual–dense (DRD), dense-residual–ConvLSTM-dense (DRCD), and inception-residual–ConvLSTM-dense (IRCD). The DRCD model achieved the highest accuracy of 97%, surpassing the benchmark performances of individual models. This highlights the effectiveness of the proposed architectures in capturing complex patterns and dependencies within the data. To further enhance classification accuracy, an ensemble approach was adopted, employing both hard ensemble and soft ensemble techniques. The hard ensemble achieved an accuracy of 98%, while the soft ensemble achieved the highest accuracy of 99%. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of ensembling techniques in boosting overall classification performance. The outcomes of this study have significant implications for the accurate identification and classification of Bangladeshi medicinal plants. This research provides valuable resources for traditional medicine, drug discovery, and biodiversity conservation efforts. The developed models and ensemble techniques can aid researchers, botanists, and practitioners in accurately identifying medicinal plant species, thereby facilitating the utilization of their therapeutic potential and contributing to the preservation of biodiversity.

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are individual tokens with valuable information stored inside them over blockchain technology. They can be purchased and sold like other physical and virtual art pieces because their worth is mostly determined by the market and demand. The unique data of NFTs render it simple to verify and authenticate their ownership and transfer of tokens between owners. However, in Pakistan, developers cannot acquire different licences to accomplish their projects not because they cannot afford it, but because they cannot invest in every piece of software to accomplish each new sensitive task. Rather, they can render the product platform independent. Considering this technology, this paper provides IT professionals with a new NFT approach and business policies that solely belong to the information technology domain. In addition, this paper also introduces how NFT tokens can hold software applications. Since we can store files, we can let NFTs also store complete applications to help developers in further utilising virtuality and having the metaverse at their fingertips. Whenever they succeed in a project, they never receive rewards, and their skills only pay the bills. In a nutshell, this paper presents a prototype of NFTs that would be further polished to save and utilise applications in a decentralised manner while rewarding the developers. Full article
