Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence, data analytics, and technology has created new avenues for personalized healthcare approaches. This Special Issue focuses on the most recent advances in machine learning (ML) and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) for biomedical data mining and disease diagnostic frameworks. This issue delves into the application of advanced ML methods like deep learning and ensemble learning for analyzing intricate biomedical data sets, particularly focusing on disease diagnosis and prognosis. Another central theme of the Special Issue is the importance of explainable AI in healthcare applications. XAI techniques aim to make the decision-making process of AI systems more transparent and understandable. The potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following: supervised and unsupervised learning, deep learning, XAI in healthcare, system modelling and system design, confidentiality and privacy of health data, biometrics, digital technologies, data mining, computer-aided diagnosis, brain–computer interfaces, etc. This Special Issue aims to bring together original research and review papers on current breakthroughs in MI and XAI in healthcare.

Abstract
The rapid serial visual presentation-based brain–computer interface (RSVP-BCI) system achieves the recognition of target images by extracting event-related potential (ERP) features from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and then building target classification models. Currently, how to reduce the training and calibration time for classification models [...] Read more.
The rapid serial visual presentation-based brain–computer interface (RSVP-BCI) system achieves the recognition of target images by extracting event-related potential (ERP) features from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and then building target classification models. Currently, how to reduce the training and calibration time for classification models across different subjects is a crucial issue in the practical application of RSVP. To address this issue, a zero-calibration (ZC) method termed Attention-ProNet, which involves meta-learning with a prototype network integrating multiple attention mechanisms, was proposed in this study. In particular, multiscale attention mechanisms were used for efficient EEG feature extraction. Furthermore, a hybrid attention mechanism was introduced to enhance model generalization, and attempts were made to incorporate suitable data augmentation and channel selection methods to develop an innovative and high-performance ZC RSVP-BCI decoding model algorithm. The experimental results demonstrated that our method achieved a balance accuracy (BA) of 86.33% in the decoding task for new subjects. Moreover, appropriate channel selection and data augmentation methods further enhanced the performance of the network by affording an additional 2.3% increase in BA. The model generated by the meta-learning prototype network Attention-ProNet, which incorporates multiple attention mechanisms, allows for the efficient and accurate decoding of new subjects without the need for recalibration or retraining.
