Engineering: Theory and Applications for Machine Learning Guided Evolutionary Optimization in Multi Modal Data Science

Engineering and science growth has caused a lot of improvisation in the task of getting and finding useful information amongst the available raw or numerous data. Processing of raw data into useful information is the fundamental idea of analysis in the field of Information Science. Information Science technologies explore more about analyzing the various forms of data in numerical, text, visual or audio form. Getting the best suitable value among the available data based on the chosen objective is the basic idea of Evolutionary optimization (EO) science. Recently, the EO algorithms are being used to boost the performance of Machine Learning (ML) models and the quality of their results. Evolutionary approaches can be used in all three aspects of ML: Pre-Processing (e.g., feature selection and resampling), Learning (e.g., parameter selection and membership functions), and Post-Processing (e.g., rule optimization, decision tree/support vectors pruning, and ensemble learning). This phenomenon was helpful in various fields of engineering like Medical Science, Network architectures, Database management, Feature engineering, etc., The aim of this issue is to bring out the innovative research in the fields of Information and Optimization Sciences with the scope to improve and solve the futuristic issues in several engineering domains.
