Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

With the evolutionary development of information technology and information systems, machine learning and deep learning techniques have been emerging and powerful tools in dealing with big data problems in many fields. The aim of this Special Issue is to explore applications of machine learning and deep learning approaches in big data analytics. The scope includes, but is not limit to, using machine learning or deep learning techniques in the following issues:

  1. Finance analysis;
  2. Manufacturing systems;
  3. Pandemics forecasting and analysis;
  4. Social media systems and sentiment analysis;
  5. Healthcare systems;
  6. Energy issues;
  7. Hotel management;
  8. Hospital management;
  9. Parameter selections or hybrid systems in machine learning or deep learning;
  10. Survey papers in related fields.

The COVID-19 outbreak has had considerably harsh impacts on the global economy, such as shutting down and paralyzing industrial production capacity and increasing the unemployment rate. For enterprises, relying on past experiences and strategies to respond to such an unforeseen financial crisis is not appropriate or sufficient. Thus, there is an urgent requirement to reexamine and revise an enterprise’s inherent crisis management architecture so as to help it recover sooner after having encountered extremely negative economic effects. To fulfill this need, the present paper introduces a fusion architecture that integrates artificial intelligence and multiple criteria decision making to exploit essential risk factors and identify the intertwined relations between dimensions/criteria for managers to prioritize improvement plans and deploy resources to key areas without any waste. The result indicated the accurate improvement priorities, which ran in the order of financial sustainability (A), customer and stakeholders (B), enablers’ learning and growth (D), and internal business process (C) based on the measurement of the impact. The method herein will help to effectively and efficiently support crisis management for an organization confronting COVID-19. Among all the criteria, maintaining fixed reserves was the most successful factor regarding crisis management. Full article

Cataract is one of the major causes of blindness in the world. Its early detection and treatment could greatly reduce the risk of deterioration and blindness. Instruments commonly used to detect cataracts are slit lamps and fundus cameras, which are highly expensive and require domain knowledge. Thus, the problem is that the lack of professional ophthalmologists could result in the delay of cataract detection, where medical treatment is inevitable. Therefore, this study aimed to design a convolutional neural network (CNN) with digital camera images (CNNDCI) system to detect cataracts efficiently and effectively. The designed CNNDCI system can perform the cataract identification process accurately in a user-friendly manner using smartphones to collect digital images. In addition, the existing numerical results provided by the literature were used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed CNNDCI system for cataract detection. Numerical results revealed that the designed CNNDCI system could identify cataracts effectively with satisfying accuracy. Thus, this study concluded that the presented CNNDCI architecture is a feasible and promising alternative for cataract detection. Full article
