Remarks
L
ast October, the CIM conducted a web-based survey. An
e-mail about the survey was sent to 4000 CIS members randomly selected from all IEEE member grades. There were
662 member responses to the survey. Thank you very much for
your help. The survey results were great. For example, 90% of the
respondents think that the overall quality of the CIM is high, and
77% of them agree with the following statement: "The articles in
the publication are relevant to my work or interests". Most members read the CIM
electronically. The rest read the printed version of the magazine (24%) or print out a
downloaded PDF file (15%). Under the Departments section, the Publication
Spotlight had the highest readership (52%) followed by the Book Review (47%),
Journal Call-for-Papers (47%), and Conference Call-for-Papers (42%). I am very
happy that the CIM is highly valued by the CIS members and is playing an important role as a communication channel between the society and its members through
those non-technical articles. Also, the readership of the Editor's Remarks was 30%,
which is slightly higher than the President's Message at 24%.
The survey also included a question about the respondent's interest in various
research areas. The question was "Which of the following topical areas, if any, should
be present in the magazine? Please select all that apply." For this question, a list of 16
areas were selected. I tried to include all the popular research areas related to computational intelligence. The list included robotics, natural language processing, brain
machine interface, and image processing, which were supported by 40-50% of the
respondents. The most popular areas in the survey were artificial intelligence (86%),
machine learning (83%), deep learning (76%), big data (61%), and optimization (55%).
Since computational intelligence is central to many recent advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, I hope that the CIM will receive more submissions on
these upcoming topics. The CIM is planning to publish a special issue on "Deep
Reinforcement Learning and Games" soon! (submission deadline: October 1, 2018).
The feature topic of the current CIM issue is "Automated Design of Machine
Learning and Search Algorithms". Fully automated algorithm design may be an ultimate goal of algorithm researchers. It would be nice if a meta-algorithm could automatically design an appropriate algorithm for each problem at hand depending on its
characteristics. If we have a high-performance meta-algorithm that is applicable to
various application fields, we do not have to design a different algorithm for a different problem. However, it is extremely difficult to develop such a meta-algorithm since
the design of even a single high-performance algorithm to a specific problem is very
difficult. The core theme in this field is hyper-heuristics. Genetic programming is also
closely related.You will find the latest developments in this field from the feature articles in the current CIM issue. I hope you will enjoy all articles in this issue.
