Intelligence at the Interface : Data-Centric Methods for Sensing, Modeling, and Decision Support

The subsequent chapters expand the scope to include strategic and operational intelligence dimensions, where the use of generative AI aims at enhancing the security and functionality of IoT ecosystems, and where the seamless interplay of Natural Language Processing and IoT technology enables more human-centred control of systems.

This book demonstrates innovative approaches in the application of computational intelligence. The initial chapters discuss the application of AI to analyze physical systems, in particular contemporary neural networks for rapid and accurate seismic analysis of critical infrastructure. It also discusses advanced metaheuristic and hybrid AI approaches that afford robust, non-invasive evaluations of geological and rock-mass properties, replacing the expensive and time-consuming traditional methods. The subsequent chapters expand the scope to include strategic and operational intelligence dimensions, where the use of generative AI aims at enhancing the security and functionality of IoT ecosystems, and where the seamless interplay of Natural Language Processing and IoT technology enables more human-centred control of systems. It also describes Edge AI, elaborating the on-device processing capabilities that enable fast, secure, real-time decision-making.
