Structural monitoring is a research topic that is receiving more and more attention, especially in light of the fact that a large part our infrastructural heritage was built in the Sixties and is aging and approaching the end of its design working life. The detection of damage is usually performed through artificial intelligence techniques. In contrast, tools for the localization and the estimation of the extent of the damage are limited, mainly due to the complete datasets of damages needed for training the system. The proposed approach consists in numerically generating datasets of damaged structures on the basis of random variables representing the actions and the possible damages. Neural networks were trained to perform the main structural monitoring tasks: damage detection, localization, and estimation. The artificial intelligence tool interpreted the measurements on a real structure. To simulate real measurements more accurately, noise was added to the synthetic dataset. The results indicate that the accuracy of the measurement devices plays a relevant role in the quality of the monitoring.

The motivation for this chapter is the observation that many companies build their strategy upon poorly validated hypotheses about cause and effect of certain business variables. However, the soundness of these cause-and-effect-relations as well as the knowledge of the approximate shape of the functional dependencies underlying these associations turns out to be the biggest issue for the quality of the results of decision supporting procedures. Since it is sufficiently clear that mere correlation of time series is not suitable to prove the causality of two business concepts, there seems to be a rather dogmatic perception of the inadmissibility of empirical validation mechanisms for causal models within the field of strategic management as well as management science. However, one can find proven causality techniques in other sciences like econometrics, mechanics, neuroscience, or philosophy. Therefore this chapter presents an approach which applies a combination of well-established statistical causal proofing methods to strategy models in order to validate them. These validated causal strategy models are then used as the basis for approximating the functional form of causal dependencies by the means of Artificial Neural Networks. This in turn can be employed to build an approximate simulation or forecasting model of the strategic system.

The system of supplying airports and airfields is subject to high requirements for the degree of reliability. This is due to the existence of a large number of factors that affect the work of airports and airfields. In this regard, the control systems for these complexes must, as soon as possible, adopt the most optimal criteria for the reliability and quality of the solution. This complicates the structure of the electricity supply complex quite a lot and necessitates the use of modern, reliable, and high-precision technologies for the management of these complexes. One of them is artificial intelligence, which allows you to make decisions in a non-standard situation, to give recommendations to the operator to perform actions based on analysis of diagnostic data.

AbstractThe advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has facilitated its application in medical fields. However, there has been little research for AI-assisted endoscopy, despite the clinical significance of the efficiency and safety of cannulation in the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). In this study, we aim to assist endoscopists performing ERCP through automatic detection of the ampulla and the identification of cannulation difficulty. We developed a novel AI-assisted system based on convolutional neural networks that predict the location of the ampulla and the difficulty of cannulation to the ampulla. ERCP data of 531 and 451 patients were utilized in the evaluation of our model for each task. Our model detected the ampulla with mean intersection-over-union 64.1%, precision 76.2%, recall 78.4%, and centroid distance 0.021. In classifying the cannulation difficulty, it achieved the recall of 71.9% for the class of easy cases and that of 61.1% for that of difficult cases. Remarkably, our model accurately detected AOV with varying morphological shape, size, and texture on par with the level of a human expert and showed promising results for recognizing cannulation difficulty. It demonstrated its potential to improve the quality of ERCP by assisting endoscopists.

Abstract This paper presents a new approach to the existing training of marine control engineering professionals using artificial intelligence. We use optimisation strategies, neural networks and game theory to support optimal, safe ship control by applying the latest scientific achievements to the current process of educating students as future marine officers. Recent advancements in shipbuilding, equipment for robotised ships, the high quality of shipboard game plans, the cost of overhauling, dependability, the fixing of the shipboard equipment and the requesting of the safe shipping and environmental protection, requires constant information on recent equipment and programming for computational intelligence by marine officers. We carry out an analysis to determine which methods of artificial intelligence can allow us to eliminate human subjectivity and uncertainty from real navigational situations involving manoeuvring decisions made by marine officers. Trainees learn by using computer simulation methods to calculate the optimal safe traverse of the ship in the event of a possible collision with other ships, which are mapped using neural networks that take into consideration the subjectivity of the navigator. The game-optimal safe trajectory for the ship also considers the uncertainty in the navigational situation, which is measured in terms of the risk of collision. The use of artificial intelligence methods in the final stage of training on ship automation can improve the practical education of marine officers and allow for safer and more effective ship operation.

The intersection of Artificial Intelligence and The Law stands for a multifaceted matter, and its effects set the advances on culture, organization, as well as the social matters, when the emergent information technologies are taken into consideration. From this point of view, the weight of formal and informal Conflict Resolution settings should be highlighted, and the use of defective data, information or knowledge must be emphasized. Indeed, it is hard to do it with traditional problem solving methodologies. Therefore, in this work the focus is on the development of decision support systems, in terms of its knowledge representation and reasoning procedures, under a formal framework based on Logic Programming, complemented with an approach to computing centered on Artificial Neural Networks. It is intended to evaluate the Quality-of-Judgments and the respective Degree-of-Confidence that one has on such happenings.

The Relationship

The scientific problem of economics “Managing the quality of human life” is formulated on the basis of artificial intelligence, algebra of logic and logical-probabilistic calculus. Managing the quality of human life is represented by managing the processes of his treatment, training and decision making. Events in these processes and the corresponding logical variables relate to the behavior of a person, other persons and infrastructure. The processes of the quality of human life are modeled, analyzed and managed with the participation of the person himself. Scenarios and structural, logical and probabilistic models of managing the quality of human life are given. Special software for quality management is described. The relationship of human quality of life and the digital economy is examined. We consider the role of public opinion in the management of the “bottom” based on the synthesis of many studies on the management of the economics and the state. The bottom management is also feedback from the top management.
