Special Issue Information
Artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved into a transformative force across academic research and industrial innovation, with theoretical breakthroughs and technological advancements driving revolutionary changes in diverse fields. Traditional AI frameworks are increasingly challenged by complex real-world scenarios, including high-dimensional data processing, explainability requirements, and cross-domain integration demands. Consequently, this special issue focuses on the latest progress in theoretical research and technological applications of AI, highlighting innovative theoretical paradigms, advanced algorithmic methods, and practical application achievements. To promote the synergy between foundational research and industrial practice, original research and case studies with rigorous validation are highly encouraged. Therefore, we establish this special issue to provide a high-quality platform for scholars and engineers to exchange cutting-edge insights and technical accomplishments.
The primary topics are as follows (not limited to those listed):
- Foundational theories of large language models and multimodal intelligence
- Explainable AI (XAI) and trustworthy algorithm design
- AI-driven intelligent optimization and decision-making systems
- Edge AI and low-power computing for embedded applications
- AI-enabled industrial automation and smart manufacturing solutions
