Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the (r)evolution in sensor/sensing technologies and the Internet of things (IoT), it has bcome possible to continuously monitor the behavior of animal systems at different levels (molecular, physiological, individual, and population). Just as artificial intelligence (AI) empowers many fields, such as economy, social medial, and automation, it is also being used to assist in better understanding animals’ physiological and behavioral responses to their natural or built environment, which is of paramount importance for many disciplines such as animal physiology, psychology, ethology, breeding, farming, etc.
The aim of this Special Issue, Artificial Intelligence for Animals (AI4A), is to present a selected compilation of articles that focus on the interdisciplinary use of artificial intelligence approaches/techniques (e.g., shallow and deep machine learning) in animal-related sciences and applications.
Through this Special Issue (AI4A), we are inviting any original manuscripts addressing the application of artificial intelligence in any aspect related to animals including, but not limited to, animal behavior, health, welfare, and environmental impacts.
