This book gathers the refereed proceedings of the Artificial Intelligence and Industrial Applications (A2IA’2020), the first installment of an annual international conference organized by the ENSAM-Meknes at Moulay Ismail University, Morocco.
The 30 papers presented here were carefully reviewed and selected from 141 submissions by an international scientific committee. They address various aspects of artificial intelligence such as smart manufacturing, smart maintenance, smart supply chain management, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, graph-based and semi-supervised learning, neural networks, deep learning, planning and optimization, and other AI applications.
The book is intended for AI experts, offering them a valuable overview of the status quo and a global outlook for the future, with many new and innovative ideas and recent important developments in AI applications, both of a foundational and practical nature. It will also appeal to non-experts who are curious about this timely and important subject.
