Artificial Intelligence and Information Processing: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

This study aims to understand the development trends and research structure of articles on artificial intelligence (AI) and information processing in the past 10 years. In particular, this study analyzed 13,294 papers published from 2012 to 2021 in the Web of Science, used the bibliometric analysis method to visualize the data of the papers, and drew a scientific knowledge map. By exploring the development of mainstream journals, author and country rankings, keyword evolution, and research field rankings in the past 10 years, this study uncovered key trends affecting AI progress and information processing that provide insights and serve as an important reference for future AI research and information processing. The results revealed a gradual increase in publications over the past decade, with explosive growth after 2020. The most prolific researchers in this field were Xu, Z.S.; Pedrycz, W.; Herrera-Viedma, E.; the major contributing countries were China, the USA, and Spain. In the AI and information processing research, keywords including “Deep learning”, “Machine learning”, and “Feature extraction” are components that play a crucial role. Additionally, the most representative research areas were “Engineering”, “Operations Research and Management Science”, and “Automation Control Systems”. Overall, this study used bibliometric analysis to provide an overview of the latest trends in artificial intelligence and information processing. Although AI and information processing have been applied to various research areas, many other sub-topics can be further applied. Based on the findings, this study presented research insights and proposed suggestions for future research directions on AI and information processing.

The Impact of Digital Technologies on Memory and Memory Studies

“…Rather than relying solely on external devices, individuals can use these aids as supplements to their own memory processes. Prospects for achieving this balance include the development of personalized digital assistants that enhance memory functions while respecting one's cognitive processes (Lin & Chang, 2023). The artificial intelligence-driven memory enhancement tools could thus adapt to one's cognitive profile, providing tailored support for memory performance (Silvhiany et al, 2021).…”

The impact of mathematics anxiety on technology career choices: A comprehensive study on the relationship between anxiety levels, misconceptions, and tech career selection

“…The pivotal facet of everyday lives has been metamorphosed by the world of technology, pervading industries such as software development, data analysis and data science, machine learning(ML), robotics and more (Cascio & Montealegre, 2016;Hansson, 2020;Xu et al, 2021). The aptitude to explore the strength of technology depends heavily on a deep understanding of mathematical concepts and their applications (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 1991; Philip, 2018; Lin & Chang, 2023). One could argue that mathematics is an important component of science, technology and engineering (Rozgonjuk, et al, 2020) , presenting a structure for innovation and advancement -from designing algorithms and developing efficient software to analysing vast datasets and enhancing complex systems (Xu et al, 2021;Alexander et al, 2011;Sarker, 2022).…”
