Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a key role in the digital age. Self-learning algorithms have the potential to improve processes and be used in production, laboratory analysis and diagnostics. This is also because classical image processing solutions work with a fixed set of rules, making varying or rapidly changing objects a major challenge. Artificial intelligence, on the other hand, can handle such cases effortlessly. So where are the challenges to technology?

We are on the cusp of a new era in computing, one in which artificial intelligence (AI) will play a central role. In the years to come, AI will increasingly be used to automate tasks that currently require human intelligence, from driving vehicles to diagnosing diseases. But the impact of AI will extend far beyond these narrow applications. Indeed, as AI technology continues to evolve, it will likely have a transformative effect on our economy and society as a whole. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that deals with the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans. There are three different types of artificial intelligence: rule-based, decision tree, and neural network.

High utility sequential pattern mining (HUSPM) is a significant and valuable activity in knowledge discovery and data analytics with many real-world applications. In some cases, HUSPM can not provide an excellent measure to predict what will happen. High utility sequential rule mining (HUSRM) discovers high utility and high confidence sequential rules, allowing it to solve the problem in HUSPM. All existing HUSRM algorithms aim to find high-utility partially-ordered sequential rules (HUSRs), which are not consistent with reality and may generate fake HUSRs. Therefore, in this paper, we formulate the problem of high utility totally-ordered sequential rule mining and propose two novel algorithms, called TotalSR and TotalSR+, which aim to identify all high utility totally-ordered sequential rules (HTSRs). TotalSR creates a utility table that can efficiently calculate antecedent support and a utility prefix sum list that can compute the remaining utility in O(1) time for a sequence. We also introduce a left-first expansion strategy that can utilize the anti-monotonic property to use a confidence pruning strategy. TotalSR can also drastically reduce the search space with the help of utility upper bounds pruning strategies, avoiding much more meaningless computation. In addition, TotalSR+ uses an auxiliary antecedent record table to more efficiently discover HTSRs. Finally, there are numerous experimental results on both real and synthetic datasets demonstrating that TotalSR is significantly more efficient than algorithms with fewer pruning strategies, and TotalSR+ is significantly more efficient than TotalSR in terms of running time and scalability.

The use of meta-rules in logic, i.e., rules whose content includes other rules, has recently gained attention in the setting of non-monotonic reasoning: a first logical formalisation and efficient algorithms to compute the (meta)-extensions of such theories were proposed in Olivieri et al (2021) This work extends such a logical framework by considering the deontic aspect. The resulting logic will not just be able to model policies but also tackle well-known aspects that occur in numerous legal systems. The use of Defeasible Logic (DL) to model meta-rules in the application area we just alluded to has been investigated. Within this line of research, the study mentioned above was not focusing on the general computational properties of meta-rules. This study fills this gap with two major contributions. First, we introduce and formalise two variants of Defeasible Deontic Logic with Meta-Rules to represent (1) defeasible meta-theories with deontic modalities, and (2) two different types of conflicts among rules: Simple Conflict Defeasible Deontic Logic, and Cautious Conflict Defeasible Deontic Logic. Second, we advance efficient algorithms to compute the extensions for both variants.

This en masse behavior by individual organisms can provide separate and collective good, such as improving chances of successful mating propagation or providing security. Now, researchers have harnessed the self-organization skills required to reap the benefits of natural swarms for robotic applications in artificial intelligence, computing, search and rescue, and much more. They published their method on Aug. 3 in Intelligent Computing. "Designing a set of rules that, once executed by a swarm of robots, results in a specific desired behavior is particularly challenging," said corresponding author Marco Dorigo, professor in the artificial intelligence laboratory, named IRIDIA, of the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium. "The behavior of the swarm is not a one-to-one map with simple rules executed by individual robots, but rather results from the complex interactions of many robots executing the same set of rules."

New York – Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has urged the world to reaffirm the importance of the rules-based international order amid the ongoing war in Ukraine and criticized Russia for threatening to possibly use nuclear weapons in the conflict. Addressing the U.N. General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, Kishida also said that specific reforms to the world body will be vital in restoring the credibility of the Security Council, which has been further jeopardized after veto-wielding permanent member Russia invaded its neighboring country earlier this year.

Another closely related research area is synthetic patient data generation. This research area seeks to simulate patient records, usually for specific disease conditions. For example, one can predict future patient EHR data using current patient baseline metrics or historical EHR data. Early works on patient record generation methods used rule-based methods [lombardo2008ta, buczak2010data, mclachlan2016using]. However, the rule-based methods cannot provide realistic and complex patient data to support general machine learning (ML) tasks.

Music contains hierarchical structures beyond beats and measures. While hierarchical structure annotations are helpful for music information retrieval and computer musicology, such annotations are scarce in current digital music databases. In this paper, we explore a data-driven approach to automatically extract hierarchical metrical structures from scores. We propose a new model with a Temporal Convolutional Network-Conditional Random Field (TCN-CRF) architecture. Given a symbolic music score, our model takes in an arbitrary number of voices in a beat-quantized form, and predicts a 4-level hierarchical metrical structure from downbeat-level to section-level. We also annotate a dataset using RWC-POP MIDI files to facilitate training and evaluation. We show by experiments that the proposed method performs better than the rule-based approach under different orchestration settings. We also perform some simple musicological analysis on the model predictions. All demos, datasets and pre-trained models are publicly available on Github.

Conformance checking is a process mining technique that allows verifying the conformance of process instances to a given model. Thus, this technique is predestined to be used in the medical context for the comparison of treatment cases with clinical guidelines. However, medical processes are highly variable, highly dynamic, and complex. This makes the use of imperative conformance checking approaches in the medical domain difficult. Studies show that declarative approaches can better address these characteristics. However, none of the approaches has yet gained practical acceptance. Another challenge are alignments, which usually do not add any value from a medical point of view. For this reason, we investigate in a case study the usability of the HL7 standard Arden Syntax for declarative, rule-based conformance checking and the use of manually modeled alignments. Using the approach, it was possible to check the conformance of treatment cases and create medically meaningful alignments for large parts of a medical guideline.
