Applying the Publication Power Approach to Artificial Intelligence Journals

This study evaluates the utility of a Publication Power Approach (PPA) for assessing the quality of journals in the field of artificial intelligence. PPA is compared with the Thomson-Reuters Institute for Scientific Information (TR) five-year and two-year impact factors and with expert opinion. The ranking produced by the method under study is only partially correlated with citation-based measu...

Artificial Intelligence in Perspective: A Retrospective on Fifty Volumes of the Artificial Intelligence Journal

When the Artificial Intelligence Journal (AIJ) put out its fiftieth volume in 1991, it seemed an appropriate time to look at the field through the perspective of the publication of the journal. The growth from one volume of 300 pages in 1970 to six volumes of almost 2400 pages in 1991 reflects the academic growth of the field. The fifty volumes include almost six hundred published papers. To ca...

Artificial Intelligence for Artificial Artificial Intelligence

Crowdsourcing platforms such as Amazon Mechanical Turk have become popular for a wide variety of human intelligence tasks; however, quality control continues to be a significant challenge. Recently, we propose TURKONTROL, a theoretical model based on POMDPs to optimize iterative, crowdsourced workflows. However, they neither describe how to learn the model parameters, nor show its effectiveness...

New Artificial Intelligence Modeling for the Photocatalytic Removal of C.I. Acid Yellow 23 in ‎Wastwater

This paper proposes two methods to predict the efficiency of photochemical removal of AY23 by UV/Ag-TiO$_{2}$ process. In this work the potential of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) modeling approaches are presented to forecast the photocatalytic removal of AY23 in the presence of Ag-TiO$_{2}$ nanoparticles prepared under desired conditions. To v...
