Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Computational intelligence (CI) has emerged as a dynamic and multidisciplinary field that encompasses various computational techniques inspired by nature, human cognition, and collective behavior. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements and applications in CI, highlighting its significance in solving complex real-world problems across diverse domains.

CI encompasses a wide spectrum of techniques including neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, fuzzy systems, swarm intelligence, and more. These techniques enable machines to learn, adapt, and make decisions in dynamic and uncertain environments. Over the years, CI has demonstrated its effectiveness in tackling intricate challenges such as optimization, pattern recognition, data mining, decision-making, control systems, and beyond.

The integration of CI approaches into various applications has led to remarkable breakthroughs. From healthcare and finance to manufacturing and autonomous systems, CI has played a pivotal role in enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and automation. Moreover, as the body of data continues to grow exponentially, CI techniques are invaluable in extracting meaningful insights from massive datasets, thereby contributing to the advancement of artificial intelligence.

This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements and applications of CI across various domains, with a particular focus on power systems.

To achieve the broadband applicability of standard voltage transformers in “dual high” power systems, an equivalent circuit model of the standard voltage transformer is first established. Using the complex magnetic permeability method and utilizing existing core parameters, the excitation impedance values are obtained. Next, based on the equivalent circuit model, the no-load error function of the standard voltage transformer is analyzed, and through simulation, the no-load error response curve of the standard voltage transformer in the frequency range of 20 Hz to 3000 Hz is derived. The simulation results indicate that within the 20 Hz to 700 Hz range, both the no-load ratio error and the no-load angular error meet the accuracy requirements, with the ratio error within ±0.05% and the angular error within 2′. Additionally, the derivation of the error transfer function demonstrates the correlation between the no-load error values and the number of turns and cross-sectional area of the standard voltage transformer. Simulation results, obtained by increasing and decreasing the number of turns and cross-sectional area by 10%, provide valuable insights for the error compensation and structural design of standard voltage transformers.

The integration of intelligent decision-making algorithms with urban cultural expression is becoming a hot topic in both academic and practical fields for exploring urban street landscapes. Exploring the application strategies of intelligent decision-making algorithms and regional cultural expression in street landscape pattern recognition and innovative design is a key step. The single layout of urban street construction, cultural deficiency, ecological imbalance, and low resident participation seriously constrain the overall quality improvement of the city. To address this dilemma, this study delved into Kunming City and selected the ten “most beautiful streets”, such as Dianchi Road, for research. By using the Analytic Hierarchy Process, a comprehensive evaluation system covering multiple dimensions, such as the street layout, plant landscape, and historical culture, was constructed to analyze the street landscape of Kunming. The research results indicate that the top four roads in terms of weight evaluation scores are Cuihu Ring Road, Jiaochang Middle Road, Qingnian Road, and Beijing Road, with values of 0.2076, 0.1531, 0.1274, and 0.1173. The weight reveals that each street has its unique landscape factors, such as the profound cultural heritage of Cuihu Ring Road and the beautiful plant landscape of Jiaochang Middle Road. Further analysis also reveals the close relationship between various factors in the evaluation model, emphasizing the importance of supplementing material and cultural elements in street landscape design. The significance of this study goes beyond a single analysis of the street landscape in Kunming City. Drawing a regional street landscape pattern map sets an example for other cities to build distinctive, eco-friendly, culturally rich, and highly humanized street spaces, providing reference and inspiration. More importantly, this study promotes the application and development of intelligent decision-making algorithms in the field of urban landscapes. Future research will further optimize algorithms to improve their adaptability and accuracy in complex environments. Full article

An outlier, known as an error state, can bring valuable cognitive analytic results in many industrial applications. Aiming at detecting outliers as soon as they appear in data streams that continuously arrive from data sources, this paper presents an adaptive-kernel-based incremental scheme. Specifically, the Gaussian kernel function with an adaptive kernel width is employed to ensure smoothness in local measures and to improve discriminability between objects. The dynamical Gaussian kernel density is presented to describe the gradual process of changing density. When new data arrives, the method updates the relevant density measures of the affected objects to achieve outlier computation of the arrived object, which can significantly reduce the computational burden. Experiments are performed on five commonly used datasets, and experimental results illustrate that the proposed method is more effective and robust for incremental outlier mining automatically.
