AI will develop into a " strong and
friendly AI " , i.e., entirely passing Turing
test, conscious, capable of emotional
expression, and at the same time minimizing
its potential risks.
5. What is your vision for
TNNLS in five years from now?
First of all I have several observations:
1) AI is everywhere, making NNs more
and more popular and finding their
wide spectrum of applications in almost
everywhere; 2) NNs are undergoing a
kind of renaissance, allowing NNs and
machine learning to continue playing
increasingly important impact on AI;
3) NNs and Learning-Driven AI will continue
to be the main focus of research
for decades to come; and 4) TNNLS has
made remarkable history during the past
decade, thanks to its great authorship,
editorship, and leadership.
With its tremendous success,
I
believe that TNNLS is currently well
positioned for further development.
With AI being so popular and neural
networks and Learning being so critical
to AI development, TNNLS should
actively seize this golden opportunity
and position itself as the leading
scientific journal in the
world. In fact, TNNLS is at
the forefront of AI; the journal
will and should be a leading
outlet for
cutt ing-edge
research, serving as a forum
for disseminating important
results to the advancement of
neural and learning sciences.
A number of measures
being taken by TNNLS to
further promote its excellence
include: inviting top notch
scholars worldwide to help
with organizing special issues
and/or contributing influential
papers; attracting more papers
from different countries to
choose TNNLS as their home
journal; expanding the editorial board
by including some Associate Editors
(AEs) from the industry and government
sector; attracting more high quality
papers from mathematics, computer
science, biology, neuroscience and application-or
iented fields; explor ing
new dimensions of TNNLS by publishing
newly emerging research areas

to revitalize the field; expanding the
outreach and targeting the wider scientific
communities to promote
TNNLS.
As the EiC, I will interact closely
with the AEs to maintain a highly motivated
and effectively performing editorial
board, ensuring that TNNLS's
review process is completed in a timely
manner, with high prestige publishing
research results and best quality,
strengthening TNNLS's global authorship,
and rendering its articles consistently
ranked among the world's most
cited research. Through its print and
online publishing, we hope to significantly
increase the number of worldwide
readership for TNNLS.
6. What advices would you like to
offer to interested authors to
submit their research work?
Two important aspects must be checked
carefully during the preparation for a
paper to be submitted to the journal: (1)
whether it is in line with the scope of
the journal and (2) whether the quality
of the paper reaches the standard of the
journal and the contribution of the
work is significant enough for the journal
consider its possible publication.
TNNLS is prestigious and very

have an interesting title and the contributions/innovations
of the work
