Article: On Manufacturing Network Design as an Applied AI Problem

Article: On Manufacturing Network Design as an Applied AI Problem

The work is devoted to designing a manufacturing network incorporating logistic-production sites that are located at the nodes of the squared lattice with the help of the AI technique. We focused on qualitative analysis of the dynamic behavior of the dynamic lattice model. The model includes rate constants and initial conditions affecting the trajectories of the model which can be classified either as a stable node, limit cycle, or chaotic attractor. We aim to solve the problem of the model qualitative behavior as an AI classification problem. The training dataset is constructed with the help of Monte-Carlo simulation with high-performance computing in Julia. The AI model is built as a C5.0 decision tree. The work was fulfilled with the framework of Erasmus+ Project No. 2022-1-PL01- KA220-HED000088359 entitled “The Future is in Applied Artificial Intelligence” (FAAI) and offers a use case to be studied during the applied AI training course.

Article: On Predicting Financial Time Series of Various Granularity as an Applied AI Problem

Article: On Predicting Financial Time Series of Various Granularity as an Applied AI Problem

We comprehensively examine the efficacy of LSTM models in predicting financial time series. We evaluate the performance of LSTM networks based on various numbers of units determined by temporal granularity, considering aspects such as prediction accuracy. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on the role of AI in financial markets, offeringa nuanced perspective on the practicality and limitations of LSTM models in this critical domain.

Article: Employer Requirements for Graduate Competencies in Applied Artificial Intelligence

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.
