Summary

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.

    Multi-Expert Collaboration Based Information Graph Learning for Anomaly Diagnosis in Smart Grids

    Zengyao Tian, Li Lv, Wenchen Deng
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.85, No.3, pp. 5359-5376, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.069427

    Abstract Accurate and reliable fault diagnosis is critical for secure operation in complex smart power systems. While graph neural networks show promise for this task, existing methods often neglect the long-tailed distribution inherent in real-world grid fault data and fail to provide reliability estimates for their decisions. To address these dual challenges, we propose a novel multi-expert collaboration uncertainty-aware power fault recognition framework with cross-view graph learning. Its core innovations are two synergistic modules: (1) The infographics aggregation module tackles the long-tail problem by learning robust graph-level representations. It employs an information-driven optimization loss within a… More >
