fast-changing world, as well as to serve society through research,
innovation, and development in this field. This book is applicable
to a wide range of data that contribute to data science concerns
and can be used to promote research in this high-potential new

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a current research topic because it
can be applied to a wide range of applications and disciplines to
solve complicated problems and find optimal solutions. In research,
medicine, technology, and the social sciences, the benefits of AI
have already been proven. Data science, also known as pattern
analytics and mining, is a technique for extracting useful and
relevant information from databases, enabling better
decision-making and strategy formulation in a range of fields. As a
result of the exponential growth of data in recent years, the
combined notions of big data and AI have given rise to many study
areas, such as scale-up behaviour from classical algorithms.
Furthermore, combining numerous AI technologies from other areas
(such as vision, security, control, and biology) in order to build
efficient and durable systems that interact in the real world is a
new problem. Despite recent improvements in fundamental AI
technologies, the integration of these skills into larger,
trustworthy, transparent, and maintainable systems is still in its
development. Both conceptually and practically, there are a number
of unanswered issues.
