Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues,

The importance and usefulness of subjects and topics involving social data and artificial intelligence are becoming widely recognized.

In this Special Issue, we cordially invite and welcome review, expository, and original research articles dealing with the recent advances in the subjects of social data and artificial intelligence, as well as their links potential to cyberspace.

Cyberspace, the seamless integration of physical, social, and mental spaces, is an integral part of our society, ranging from learning and entertainment to business and cultural activities, and so on. However, there are a number of pressing challenges associated with cyberspace. For example, how do we strike a balance between the need for strong cybersecurity and preserving the privacy of ordinary citizens?

This Special Issue has emerged from the International Conference on Social Data and Artificial Intelligence (SDAI 2020) held in Toronto, Canada on 26–27 May 2020 and the IEEE Cyber Science and Technology Congress (CyberSciTech 2020), which will also be held in Canada (CyberSciTech 2020, Calgary, Canada, 22–26 June 2020).

To address the challenges described for both conferences, there is a need to establish new science and research portfolios that incorporate social data and artificial intelligence alone or in combination with cyber-physical, cyber-social, cyber-intelligent, and cyber-life technologies in a cohesive and efficient manner.

Due to the great success of hypergeometric functions of one variable, a number of hypergeometric functions of two or more variables have been introduced and explored. Among them, the Kampé de Fériet function and its generalizations have been actively researched and applied. The aim of this paper is to provide certain reduction, transformation and summation formulae for the general Kampé de Fériet function and Srivastava’s general triple hypergeometric series, where the parameters and the variables are suitably specified. The identities presented in the theorems and additional comparable outcomes are hoped to be supplied by the use of computer-aid programs, for example, Mathematica. Symmetry occurs naturally in p+1Fp, the Kampé de Fériet function and the Srivastava’s function F(3)[x,y,z], which are three of the most important functions discussed in this study. Full article

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to spread throughout the world, and it is necessary for us to implement effective methods to prevent and control the spread of the epidemic. In this paper, we propose a new model called Spatial–Temporal Attention Graph Convolutional Networks (STAGCN) that can analyze the long-term trend of the COVID-19 epidemic with high accuracy. The STAGCN employs a spatial graph attention network layer and a temporal gated attention convolutional network layer to capture the spatial and temporal features of infectious disease data, respectively. While the new model inherits the symmetric “space-time space” structure of Spatial–Temporal Graph Convolutional Networks (STGCN), it enhances its ability to identify infectious diseases using spatial–temporal correlation features by replacing the graph convolutional network layer with a graph attention network layer that can pay more attention to important features based on adaptively adjusted feature weights at different time points. The experimental results show that our model has the lowest error rate compared to other models. The paper also analyzes the prediction results of the model using interpretable analysis methods to provide a more reliable guide for the decision-making process during epidemic prevention and control.
