urrently Artificial Intelligence (AI) is having a big boom.
One of AI's core technologies is deep learning, which is
clearly Computational Intelligence (CI). In this sense, the
current AI boom is actually a CI boom too. However, applications
with deep learnings are rarely referred to as CI. They are almost
always referred to as AI. High popularity of AI can be shown in
various manners. If you visit the IEEE Xplore website, you will see
the following three lists: just published journal issues, most popular articles, and popular search terms. The top three popular search terms were "IoT", "machine learning",
and "artificial intelligence" when I checked them in April 2019. This shows the popularity of AI including machine learning. It seems that many users of the IEEE Xplore
are trying to search for AI papers using "machine learning" and "artificial intelligence"
as search terms without knowing that some or most of them are CI related papers.
Each journal page in the IEEE Xplore has similar lists. In the CIM page, the top
three popular articles based on the number of monthly downloads were "Recent
trends in deep learning based natural language processing", "Time series prediction
using support vector machines: A survey", and "Evolutionary fuzzy systems for
explainable artificial intelligence: Why, when, what for, and where to?" This list also
shows the high popularity of AI especially with the first paper that was also included
in the top 100 popular articles list among all of the papers in the IEEE Xplore. Currently, AI papers seem to receive much more attention than CI papers. However, as I
have explained, the core technology in the current AI boom is CI. You may have the
following question: Is CI a subset of AI?
When I started my CI research more than 30 years ago, AI and CI were clearly
different with no overlap in my understanding. In the first WCCI conference in 1994,
CI was explained as a research field between AI and BI (Biological Intelligence) where
CI was based on the three areas: neural networks, fuzzy systems, and evolutionary
computation. The binding among the three areas under the CI umbrella has not been
strong. They have been developed separately. For example, in Japan, each of the three
areas has its own society. We also have Japan AI society whereas we do not have Japan
CI society. Currently, a large number of deep learning papers are presented at AI conferences all over the world. The presence of neural networks in AI has drastically
increased in the last few years. As CI researchers, we may have at least two strategies:
One is to increase the presence of CI as a subset of AI to exploit the current AI boom,
and the other is to establish a strong presence of CI outside AI to prepare for the end
of the AI boom. What is your strategy?
The feature topic of the current CIM issue is "Deep Reinforcement Learning and
Games." This can be viewed as an AI special issue as well as a CI special issue. I hope
you will enjoy all articles in this issue.
