Artificial Intelligence Models, Tools and Applications

During the difficult years since the start of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the need for efficient artificial intelligence models, tools, and applications has been more evident than ever. Machine learning and data science, not to mention the huge amount of data they produce, form a clear new source of valuable information. New and innovative approaches are required to tackle the new research challenges faced in this area. In this framework, artificial intelligence is crucial and thus may be described as one of the most important research areas of our time. Since this view is applicable to the research community, it also faces huge challenges from the perspective of data management and involves emerging disciplines in information processing and related tools and applications.
