Advances in Artificial Intelligence

This book addresses emerging issues concerning the integration of artificial intelligence systems in our daily lives. It focuses on the cognitive, visual, social and analytical aspects of computing and intelligent technologies, and highlights ways to improve the acceptance, effectiveness, and efficiency of said technologies.

Decision Support Systems (DSSs) are Software and Information Systems which make use of various data and business models, employ advanced data analytics procedures, and access extensive databases and data warehouses to facilitate with a decision process or with organizational issues. DSSs have proven to be particularly useful at the strategic level, while they usually require only limited computer-proficiency skills from their users. Although DSSs have been under development and use for several decades, recent advances in both Software Engineering technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) methodologies have heralded new avenues for research and development in this field.

The book includes original unpublished contributions presented in First International Conference on Recent Advances in Artificial Intelligence and Smart Applications (RAAISA 2023), organized by Department of CSE, University of Engineering and Management, Kolkata, India during 14 – 15 December 2023. The topics covered are progression of artificial intelligence techniques like smart agent-based systems, human-computer interaction technologies, reinforcement learning, sentiment analysis, recurrent neural networks and its applications, genetic algorithm, and neural networks.

​This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th Conference of the Spanish Association for Artificial Intelligence, CAEPIA 2018, held in Granada, Spain, in October 2018.
