Abstract Background: Information technology has continued to shape contemporary thematic trends. Advances in communication have impacted almost all themes ranging from education, engineering, healthcare, and many other aspects of our daily lives. Method: This paper attempts to review the different dynamics of the thematic IoT platforms. A select number of themes are extensively analyzed with emphasis on data mining (DM), personalized healthcare (PHC), and thematic trends of a select number of subjectively identified IoT-related publications over three years. In this paper, the number of IoT-related-publications is used as a proxy representing the number of apps. DM remains the trailblazer, serving as a theme with crosscutting qualities that drive artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and data transformation. A case study in PHC illustrates the importance, complexity, productivity optimization, and nuances contributing to a successful IoT platform. Among the initial 99 IoT themes, 18 are extensively analyzed using the number of IoT publications to demonstrate a combination of different thematic dynamics, including subtleties that influence escalating IoT publication themes. Results: Based on findings amongst the 99 themes, the annual median IoT-related publications for all the themes over the four years were increasingly 5510, 8930, 11700, and 14800 for 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 respectively; indicating an upbeat prognosis of IoT dynamics. Conclusion: The vulnerabilities that come with the successful implementation of IoT systems are highlighted including the successes currently achieved by institutions promoting the benefits of IoT-related systems like the case study. Security continues to be an issue of significant importance.

Information technology has continued to shape contemporary thematic trends.

And finally, the vulnerabilities that come with the successful implementation of IoT systems are highlighted as part of the research. Security continues to be an issue of significant importance.

: Artificial intelligence is an emerging sector in almost all fields. It is not confined only to a particular category and can be used in various fields like research, technology, and health. AI mainly concentrates on how computers analyze data and mimic the human thought process. As drug development involves high R & D costs and uncertainty in time consumption, artificial intelligence can serve as one of the promising solutions to overcome all these demerits. Due to the availability of enormous data, there are chances of missing out on some crucial details. For solving these issues, algorithms like machine learning, deep learning, and other expert systems are being used. On successful implementation of AI in the pharmaceutical field, the delays in drug development, and failure at the clinical and marketing level can be reduced. This review comprises information regarding the development of AI, its subfields, its overall implementation, and its application in the pharmaceutical sector and provides insights on challenges and limitations concerning AI.

Nowadays society is profoundly changed by technology, velocity and productivity. While individuals are not yet prepared for holographic connection with banks or financial institutions, other innovative technologies have been adopted. Lately, a new world has been launched, personalized and adapted to reality. It has emerged and started to govern almost all daily activities due to the five key elements that are foundations of the technology: machine to machine (M2M), internet of things (IoT), big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). Competitive innovations are now on the market, helping with the connection between investors and borrowers—notably crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending. Blockchain technology is now enjoying great popularity. Thus, a great part of the focus of this research paper is on Elrond. The outcomes highlight the relevance of technology in digital finance.

<p>With the rapid uptake of machine learning artificial intelligence in our daily lives, we are beginning to realise the risks involved in implementing this technology in high-stakes decision making. This risk is due to machine learning decisions being based in human-curated datasets, meaning these decisions are not bias-free. Machine learning datasets put women at a disadvantage due to factors including (but not limited to) historical exclusion of women in data collection, research, and design; as well as the low participation of women in artificial intelligence fields. These factors mean that applications of machine learning may fail to treat the needs and experiences of women as equal to those of men.    Research into understanding gender biases in machine learning frequently occurs within the computer science field. This has frequently resulted in research where bias is inconsistently defined, and proposed techniques do not engage with relevant literature outside of the artificial intelligence field. This research proposes a novel, interdisciplinary approach to the measurement and validation of gender biases in machine learning. This approach translates methods of human-based gender bias measurement in psychology, forming a gender bias questionnaire for use on a machine rather than a human.   The final output system of this research as a proof of concept demonstrates the potential for a new approach to gender bias investigation. This system takes advantage of the qualitative nature of language to provide a new way of understanding gender data biases by outputting both quantitative and qualitative results. These results can then be meaningfully translated into their real-world implications.</p>

Almost all financial services (especially digital payments) in China are affected by new innovations and technologies. New technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and data analytics have immensely influenced all most all aspects of financial services such as deposits, transactions, billings, remittances, credits (B2B and P2P), underwriting, insurance, and so on. Fintech companies are enabling larger financial inclusion, changing in lifestyle and expenditure behavior, better and fast financial services, and lots more. This chapter covers the development, opportunities, and challenges of financial sectors because of new technologies in China. This chapter throws the light on opportunities that emerged because of the large population of 1.4 billion people, high penetration, and access to the latest and affordable technology, affordable cost of smartphones, and government policies and regulations. Lastly, this chapter portrays the untapped potentials of Fintech in China.

Learning is the ability to improve behavior based on former experiences and observations. Nowadays, mankind continuously attempts to train computers for his purpose, and make them smarter through trainings and experiments. Learning machines are a branch of artificial intelligence with the aim of reaching machines able to extract knowledge (learning) from the environment. Classical, fuzzy classification, as a subcategory of machine learning, has an important role in reaching these goals in this area. In the present chapter, we undertake to elaborate and explain some useful and efficient methods of classical versus fuzzy classification. Moreover, we compare them, investigating their advantages and disadvantages.
