Intelligent vehicle (IV) is a comprehensive system that integrates functions such as environment perception, planning, and decision making, and multi-level assisted driving. It concentrates on the technologies of computers, modern sensing, information fusion, communication, artificial intelligence, and automatic control, etc. The improvement of the intelligence level of IV can enhance traffic safety and efficiency effectively. In recent years, with the development of hardware and software, the technology of Intelligent Connected Vehicle (ICV) has achieved rapid progress. However, there are many critical and difficult issues that remain to be addressed.

This Special Issue is devoted to the new trends in optics applied to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). This issue aims to host original, unpublished, and breakthrough concepts in optics that make use of new tools and mechanisms, such as artificial intelligence, to solve complex problems for applications in ICT. Optical systems use communication and information processing. To name a few large fields, we enumerate telecommunications (fiber optics, etc.), information processing (optical and quantum computing, etc.), sources of light (VCSEL, etc.). Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com


Shared Model of Sense-making for Human-Machine Collaboration

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We present a model of sense-making that greatly facilitates the collaboration between an intelligent analyst and a knowledge-based agent. It is a general model grounded in the science of evidence and the scientific method of hypothesis generation and testing, where sense-making hypotheses that explain an observation are generated, relevant evidence is then discovered, and the hypotheses are tested based on the discovered evidence. We illustrate how the model enables an analyst to directly instruct the agent to understand situations involving the possible production of weapons (e.g., chemical warfare agents) and how the agent becomes increasingly more competent in understanding other situations from that domain (e.g., possible production of centrifuge-enriched uranium or of stealth fighter aircraft).


Journal of Research on Technology in Education special issue

#artificialintelligence

With the emerging opportunities of artificial intelligence (AI), learning and teaching may be supported in situ and in real-time for more efficient and valid solutions. Hence, AI have the potential to further revolutionise the integration of human and artificial intelligence and impact human and machine collaboration during learning and teaching (Seeber et al., 2020; Wesche & Sonderegger, 2019). The discourse around utilisation of AI in education shifted from being narrowly focused on automation-based tasks to augmentation of human capabilities linked to learning and teaching (Chatti et al., 2020). As such, AI systems are capable of analysing large datasets, including unstructured data, in real-time, and detect patterns or structures that can be used for intelligent human decision-making in learning and teaching situations (Baker, 2016). This special issue will address the reciprocal issues when augmenting human intelligence with machine intelligence in K-12 and higher education.

Symbolic Computation in Software Science: My Personal View

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In this note, I develop my personal view on the scope and relevance of symbolic computation in software science. For this, I discuss the interaction and differences between symbolic computation, software science, automatic programming, mathematical knowledge management, artificial intelligence, algorithmic intelligence, numerical computation, and machine learning. In the discussion of these notions, I allow myself to refer also to papers (1982, 1985, 2001, 2003, 2013) of mine in which I expressed my views on these areas at early stages of some of these fields. It is a great joy to see that the SCSS (Symbolic Computation in Software Science) conference series, this year, experiences its 9th edition. A big Thank You to the organizers, referees, and contributors who kept the series going over the years! The series emerged from a couple of meetings of research groups in Austria, Japan, and Tunisia, including my Theorema Group at RISC, see the home pages of the SCSS series since 2006. In 2012, we decided to define "Symbolic Computation in Software Science" as the scope for our meetings and to establish them as an open conference series with this title. As always, when one puts two terms like "symbolic computation" and "software science" together, one is tempted to read the preposition in between - in our case "in" - as just a set-theoretic union. Pragmatically, this is reasonable if one does not want to embark on scrutinizing discussions. However, since I was one of the initiators of the SCSS series, let me take the opportunity to explain the intention behind SC in SS in this note. Also, this note, for me, is a kind of revision and summary of thoughts I had over the years on the subject of SCSS and related subjects.


Bayesian learning of forest and tree graphical models

arXiv.org Machine Learning

In Bayesian learning of Gaussian graphical model structure, it is common to restrict attention to certain classes of graphs and approximate the posterior distribution by repeatedly moving from one graph to another, using MCMC or methods such as stochastic shotgun search (SSS). I give two corrected versions of an algorithm for non-decomposable graphs and discuss random graph distributions, in particular as prior distributions. The main topic of the thesis is Bayesian structure-learning with forests or trees. Restricting attention to these graphs can be justified using theorems on random graphs. I describe how to use the Chow$\unicode{x2013}$Liu algorithm and the Matrix Tree Theorem to find the MAP forest and certain quantities in the posterior distribution on trees. I give adapted versions of MCMC and SSS for approximating the posterior distribution for forests and trees, and systems for storing these graphs so that it is easy to choose moves to neighbouring graphs. Experiments show that SSS with trees does well when the true graph is a tree or sparse graph. SSS with trees or forests does better than SSS with decomposable graphs in certain cases. Graph priors improve detection of hubs but need large ranges of probabilities. MCMC on forests fails to mix well and MCMC on trees is slower than SSS. (For a longer abstract see the thesis.)

The Industry 4.0 paradigm has been characterized by greater connectivity between networks of digitalized manufacturing systems. The application of enabling technologies, including automation and cyber-physical systems, has supported smart manufacturing and decentralized decision making. The implications of Industry 4.0 technologies are significant, leading to reduced production time and cost, while improving product quality. The challenges include how to analyze, exchange, and securely manage the vast amounts of data generated between manufacturing systems. These challenges have spurred growth in research areas including additive manufacturing, Artificial Intelligence, collaborative robotics, digital manufacturing, Internet of Things, machine learning, Big Data analytics, virtual and augmented reality, as well as many others.
