Feature Papers in Artificial Intelligence

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial intelligence has revolutionized numerous aspects of our society. Foundation models and embodied intelligence are expanding the frontiers of AI research, and the convergence of AI with fundamental sciences has accelerated scientific discovery across disciplines. This feature paper Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research that advances both the theoretical understanding and practical applications of AI technologies.

We welcome high-quality contributions spanning the full spectrum of AI research, from novel methodologies and theoretical frameworks to transformative applications. The scope also encompasses research on AI system development challenges, such as scaling approaches, low-cost deployment, system reliability, trustworthiness, and human–AI interaction paradigms. We also encourage submissions that bridge AI with other scientific fields, such as drug discovery and materials science. The topics of interest for this Special Issue, include but are not limited to, the following:

• Machine learning;
• Optimization and statistical learning;
• Deep learning and neural networks;
• Knowledge representation and reasoning;
• Foundation models;
• Autonomous systems and robotics;
• AI for science;
• AI for societal impact.
