Artificial intelligence is a discipline of science and technology for making intelligent machines to simulate human abilities in learning, perception, thinking, decision, behavior and interaction. The technology is widely used in various areas in society, including sensing data analysis and understanding, big data analytics, security surveillance, management and planning, education, medical care, robotics, unmanned driving, and so on. Keeping AI's impact on society beneficial motivates research in many areas, from economics and law to technical topics. The Artificial Intelligence and Applications (AIA) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing original contributions to the theory, methods and applications of artificial intelligence. AIA aims to enhance the development and application of artificial intelligence by bringing scientists in the field together. The journal invites research articles and review papers exploring AI applications across a diverse array of topics, including but not limited to: Cognitive Modeling of Intelligence Brain-Inspired Intelligence Brain-Machine Interface Neural Networks Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Machine Learning Pattern Recognition Computer Vision Image and Video Analysis Speech and Language Processing Multimedia Analysis Document Analysis and Handwriting Recognition Human-Computer Interaction Biometrics and Computer Forensics Intelligent Robotics Soft Computing Quantum-Based AI Information Retrieval Internet Computing and Data Mining Computational Biology and Bio-informatics Cyber-Physical Systems Internet of Things (IoT) Expert System AI in Security Deep Learning Natural Language Processing Virtual and Augmented Reality in AI Medical Imaging Big Data Analysis AI Applications in Other Areas
