Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Deep learning is a very powerful branch of machine learning, within the frame of artificial intelligence, and represents a promising field of knowledge that is continually on the rise, in part thanks to technological advances which allow the processing of enormous amounts of data with complex structures. The fullest realization of these can be seen in neural networks—and, more specifically, deep neural networks. It is evident that AI is a promising field with many diverse practical applications, representing a very active area of research, in which abundant intelligent systems have flourished and facilitate and automate routine work.

Deep learning has proven its usefulness in many disciplines, including computer vision, virtual reality, voice and audio processing, natural language processing, robotics, bioinformatics, video games, search engines, and finance, among others, all included within the general field of artificial intelligence. Emphasis, in this Special Issue, is placed on the field of computer vision, an area in which deep learning models play a very important role, as well as virtual reality. However, given the essentially transversal and multidisciplinary nature of computer vision, its interference with other areas and disciplines is very common, which broadens the range of possible researchers and scholars that may find interest in this issue.

The following is a list of the main topics covered by this Special Issue concerned with computer vision based on deep learning models:

  • Voice and audio processing;
  • Natural language processing;
  • Robotics;
  • Bioinformatics;
  • Video games;
  • Search engines;
  • Economy and finance.

The Special Issue will not be limited to these topics. Papers must present innovative methods and approaches, or novel applications of existing tools.

We propose Heterogeneous Dual-path Contrastive Architecture (HDCA) for action recognition. Our model involves a spatial pathway and a temporal pathway; these two pathways employ distinct backbone networks and input formats, tailored to the specific properties of spatial features and temporal features. The spatial pathway processes super images to capture spatial semantics while the temporal pathway operates on frame sequences to model motion patterns. This targeted design can precisely capture the scenes and motions depicted in videos while improving parameter efficiency. To establish a cross-modality complementary enhancement mechanism, we develop cross-modality contrastive loss and intra-group contrastive loss to train the HDCA. These contrastive losses work synergistically to maximize the similarity of feature representations among videos belonging to the same class while minimizing similarity across different classes, achieving cross-modality alignment through cross-modality contrastive loss and enhancing intra-group compactness via intra-group contrastive loss. HDCA fully exploits the complementary strengths of spatial features and temporal features in action recognition. Systematic experiments on three benchmark datasets validate the effectiveness and superiority of our approach, which support the motivation and hypothesis of our model design. The experimental results demonstrate that our model achieves competitive performance compared to existing state-of-the-art approaches for action recognition. Notably, performance gains increase with dataset complexity, indicating that discriminative correlation information between modalities learned by HDCA yield greater performance gains in the recognition tasks of complex videos.

The proliferation of fake news, particularly in sensitive domains like religious texts, necessitates robust authenticity verification methods. This study addresses the growing challenge of authenticating Hadith, where traditional methods relying on the analysis of the chain of narrators (Isnad) and the content (Matn) are increasingly strained by the sheer volume in circulation. To combat this issue, machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) techniques, specifically through transfer learning, are explored to automate Hadith classification into Genuine and Fake categories. This study utilizes an imbalanced dataset of 8544 Hadiths, with 7008 authentic and 1536 fake Hadiths, to systematically investigate the collective impact of both linguistic and contextual features, particularly the chain of narrators (Isnad), on Hadith authentication. For the first time in this specialized domain, state-of-the-art pre-trained language models (PLMs) such as Multilingual BERT (mBERT), CamelBERT, and AraBERT are evaluated alongside classical algorithms like logistic regression (LR) and support vector machine (SVM) for Hadith authentication. Our best-performing model, AraBERT, achieved a 99.94% F1score when including the chain of narrators, demonstrating the profound effectiveness of contextual elements (Isnad) in significantly improving accuracy, providing novel insights into the indispensable role of computational methods in Hadith authentication and reinforcing traditional scholarly emphasis. This research represents a significant advancement in combating misinformation in this important field. Full article
