Abstract
In the areas ofmachine learning / big data, when collecting data, sometimes too many features may be stored. Some of them may be redundant or irrelevant for the problem to be solved, adding noise to the dataset. Feature selection allows to create a subset from the original feature set, according to certain criteria. By creating a smaller subset of relevant features, it is possible to improve the learning accuracy while reducing the amount of data. This means means better results obtained in a shorter learning time. However, feature selection is normally regarded as a very important problem to be solved, as it directly impacts both data analysis and model creation. The problem of optimizing the selected features of a given dataset is not always trivial but, throughout the years, different ways to counter this optimization problem have been presented. This work presents how feature selection fits in the larger context of multi-objective problems as well as a review of how both multi-objective evolutionary algorithms and metaheuristics are being used in order to solve feature selection problems © MIR Labs, www.mirlabs.net/ijcisim/index.html

2022 IEEE/OES AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLES SYMPOSIUM (AUV)
Abstract
Accurate identification of an uncertain underwater environment is one of the challenges of underwater robotics. Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) needs to understand its environment accurately to achieve autonomous tasks. The method proposed in this paper is a real-time automatic target recognition based on Side Scan Sonar images to detect and localize a harbor's wall. This paper explains real-time Side Scan Sonar image generation and compares three Deep Learning object detection algorithms (YOLOv5, YOLOvS-TR, and YOLOX) using transfer learning. The YOLOv5-TR algorithm has the most accurate detection with 99% during training, whereas the YOLOX provides the best accuracy of 91.3% for a recorded survey detection. The YOLOX algorithm realizes the flow chart validation's real-time detection and target localization.

SUPERCONDUCTOR SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
More than a century after the discovery of superconductors (SCs), numerous studies have been accomplished to take advantage of SCs in physics, power engineering, quantum computing, electronics, communications, aviation, healthcare, and defence-related applications. However, there are still challenges that hinder the full-scale commercialization of SCs, such as the high cost of superconducting wires/tapes, technical issues related to AC losses, the structure of superconducting devices, the complexity and high cost of the cooling systems, the critical temperature, and manufacturing-related issues. In the current century, massive advancements have been achieved in artificial intelligence (AI) techniques by offering disruptive solutions to handle engineering problems. Consequently, AI techniques can be implemented to tackle those challenges facing superconductivity and act as a shortcut towards the full commercialization of SCs and their applications. AI approaches are capable of providing fast, efficient, and accurate solutions for technical, manufacturing, and economic problems with a high level of complexity and nonlinearity in the field of superconductivity. In this paper, the concept of AI and the widely used algorithms are first given. Then a critical topical review is presented for those conducted studies that used AI methods for improvement, design, condition monitoring, fault detection and location of superconducting apparatuses in large-scale power applications, as well as the prediction of critical temperature and the structure of new SCs, and any other related applications. This topical review is presented in three main categories: AI for large-scale superconducting applications, AI for superconducting materials, and AI for the physics of SCs. In addition, the challenges of applying AI techniques to the superconductivity and its applications are given. Finally, future trends on how to integrate AI techniques with superconductivity towards commercialization are discussed.

Abstract
We live in a world where data is becoming increasingly valuable and increasingly abundant in volume. All companies produce data from sales, sensors, and various other sources. The main challenges are how can we extract insights from such a rich data environment and if Deep Learning is capable of circumventing Big Data's challenges. To reach a conclusion, Social Network data is used as a case study for predicting sentiment changes in the Stock Market. The main objective of this paper is to develop a computational study and analyze its performance. Deep Learning was able to handle some challenges of Big Data, allowing results to be obtained and compared with real world situations. The outputs contribute to understand Deep Learning's usage with Big Data and how it acts in Sentiment Analysis.
