In the big data era, with the enrichment of data collection and description measures, a wide array of data in various formats are collected much easier than before. It is significant to discover the knowledge hidden in the mass by comprehensive understanding and multimodal learning to realize the data intelligence, which can help human in various dimensions, such as intelligent decisions and predictive services. However, the high-dimensional, heterogeneous, real-time, and low-quality characteristics of the collected data pose great challenges to the design of knowledge discovery methods. If we can effectively perform multimodal learning on massive high-dimensional, heterogeneous, real-time, and low-quality big data to discover the hidden knowledge and rules, the potential values and insights can be identified. Thus, it will provide a comprehensive understanding and a favourable decision-making framework based on the massive data to realize the real big data intelligence.
This special issue aims to seek the high-quality papers from academics and industry-related researchers in the areas of big data, data mining, multimodal learning, artificial intelligence, and multimedia analysis to present the most recently advanced methods and applications for realizing big data intelligence.
