Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is pivotal in advancing bioinformatics by providing innovative solutions for the analysis and interpretation of complex biological data. This Special Issue focuses on the emerging trends and technologies in AI-driven bioinformatics, highlighting the latest research and developments in this interdisciplinary field, where AI techniques, including machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and evolutionary algorithms, are currently being utilized to address various challenges.

We welcome contributions focusing on, but not limited to, the following areas:

  • AI and Computer Vision in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Exploring the use of AI and computer vision techniques to analyze behavioural data, identify patterns, and improve diagnosis and intervention strategies for ASD.
  • Biomedical Text Mining: AI-driven approaches for extracting insights from the biomedical literature, including sentiment analysis and semantic annotation.
  • AI in DNA Data Storage: Innovative AI techniques for encoding, decoding, and optimizing DNA-based data storage systems.
  • AI in Medical Imaging and Video Segmentation: AI-based methods for medical image analysis and video segmentation.
  • Evolutionary Algorithms in Bioinformatics: Application of evolutionary algorithms for optimizing bioinformatic processes, including the design of robust codes for DNA data storage.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

This study presents a novel driver authentication system utilizing electrocardiogram (ECG) signals collected through dry electrodes embedded in the steering wheel. Traditional biometric authentication methods are sensitive to environmental changes and vulnerable to replication, but this study addresses these issues by leveraging the unique characteristics and forgery resistance of ECG signals. The proposed system is designed using autocorrelation profiles (ACPs) and a convolutional neural network and is optimized for real-time processing even in constrained hardware environments. Additionally, advanced signal processing algorithms were applied to refine the ECG data and minimize noise in driving environments. The system’s performance was evaluated using a public dataset of 154 participants and a real-world dataset of 10 participants, achieving F1-Scores of 96.8% and 96.02%, respectively. Furthermore, an ablation study was conducted to analyze the importance of components such as ACPs, normalization, and filtering. When all components were removed, the F1-Score decreased to 60.1%, demonstrating the critical role of each component. These findings highlight the potential of the proposed system to deliver high accuracy and efficiency not only in vehicle environments but also in various security applications. Full article
