Article: Employer Requirements for Graduate Competencies in Applied Artificial Intelligence

ERASMUS+ project The Future is in Applied Artificial Intelligence (FAAI) aims to increase the quality and relevance of students’ and graduates’ knowledge and skills in AI/ML-specific topics based on skills needed in the labor market. This paper presents the results of the survey that was conducted in the context of the FAAI project to assess the needs of employers in project participants’ countries in graduates’ competencies in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Science in general for the purpose of training specialists in the field of Applied AI. The survey was filled in by 38 companies and consisted of 31 questions related to general required competencies, type of machine learning problems solved, AI libraries used in companies, required soft skills, employers’ satisfaction with the level of preparedness of master’s degree graduates in the field of AI.

Article: Research and Analysis of Different Real Cases, with use AAI

This article is fulfilled within the framework of Erasmus+ project “The Future is in Applied Artificial Intelligence” (FAAI) and examines the study of practical solutions implemented using applied artificial intelligence. The research was done by preparing an online survey containing a total of 7 questions, open and closed. The purpose of the study is to find real working applications of applied artificial intelligence projects, describe their application in what field, and record the name of the projects found to describe their activity. The study was done by looking at cases all over the world. The analysis of the data provides insight in several directions: – in which countries are more real cases of artificial intelligence solutions used – what is the distribution of realized cases – depending on whether the country is a member of the EU or not EU. – In what category is the real case developed. – whether the country of the real case works in collaboration with other countries or implements the real case only the country. The research and analysis done provide a clear picture of the developed projects using artificial intelligence. The obtained results will guide in what areas to organize the practical training. Also, the research would help future AI application developers.

The use of data derived from Brain Computer Interaction (BCI) is a complex process that requires multidisciplinary skills and knowledge in computer science, signal processing, neuroscience, robotics, artificial intelligence, and other related fields. In this study, we propose the quantitative analysis method for feature selection based on descriptive statistics (maximum, minimum, mean and median).The purpose of this paper is to show that different trials of the same individual at the same symbol yield similar brain profiles regardless of their mental state, and that different individuals have different brain profiles at the same visual signals.

The obtained data are discussed in the context of studying the nature of brain signals.

Article: Mathematical and Computer Simulation of the Response of a Potentiometric Biosensor for the Determination of α-сhaconine​

Article: Mathematical and Computer Simulation of the Response of a Potentiometric Biosensor for the Determination of α-сhaconine​

The article is devoted to the problem of developing a mathematical model of the response of a potentiometric biosensor for the determination of α-chaconine in the form of a system of seven differential equations that describe the dynamics of biochemical reactions during the full cycle of α-chaconine concentration measurement. At the same time, each of the differential equations establishes the concentration dependence of substrate, enzyme, inhibitor, enzyme-substrate, product, enzyme-inhibitor, enzyme-substrate-inhibitor complexes as a function of time. The mathematical model of the biosensor for the determination of α-chaconine was solved numerically in the R package. The input parameters of the system were used, namely, the concentrations of the enzyme, substrate, and inhibitor (5.8×10-4 M butyrylcholinesterase, 1×10-3 M butyrylcholine chloride, and 1×10−6; 2×10−6; 5×10−6; 10×10−6 M of α-chaconine, respectively), which are measured during experiments. To verify the model and compare it with the experimental response a potentiometric biosensor based on immobilized butyrylcholine chloride was used. Selection of direct and inverse rate constants of enzymatic reactions was carried out in such a way that the result of numerical modeling corresponded as much as possible to the experimental response of the studied biosensor. A comparative analysis of the experimental and simulated responses of the biosensor for the determination of αchaconine was established. It was found that the absolute error does not exceed 0.045 units. As a result of computer simullation, it was concluded that the developed kinetic model of the potentiometric biosensor makes it possible to identify all the main components that were measured this study.

Article: Towards Resource-Efficient DNN Deployment for Traffic Object Recognition: From Edge to Fog

The paper focuses on the challenges associated with deploying deep neural networks (DNNs) for the recognition of traffic objects using the camera of Android smartphones. The main objective of this research is to achieve resource-awareness, enabling efficient utilization of computational resources while maintaining high recognition accuracy. To achieve this, a methodology is proposed that leverages the Edge-to-Fog paradigm to distribute the inference workload across multiple tiers of the distributed system architecture. The evaluation was conducted using a dataset comprising real-world traffic scenarios and diverse traffic objects. The main findings of this research highlight the feasibility of deploying DNNs for traffic object recognition on resource-constrained Android smartphones. The proposed Edge-to-Fog methodology demonstrated improvements in terms of both recognition accuracy and resource utilization, and viability of both edge-only and edge-fog based approaches. Moreover, the experimental results showcased the adaptability of the system to dynamic traffic scenarios, thus ensuring real-time recognition performance even in challenging environments.

Publication: The Role of Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things In Development of Smart Cities for Industry 4.0

The pace of urbanisation is currently increasing. Modern cities are striving to become more technologically advanced and “smarter”, combining the concept of sustainable development with an improved quality of life. At the same time, digital transformation is taking place, and a variety of flexible tools will help meet the growing challenges of urbanisation over the next
few decades. One of the tools of digital transformation is cyber-physical systems.
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are a set of infrastructure and production systems that
combine computing (cyber) technologies integrated into the physical environment with
human interaction.
