摘要：We proposed the idea of editing a special issue that would compile the fruitful research that resulted from the stimulating discussions that occurred during the workshop that was held during the 5th International Conference on Intelligent Computing, Chennai on 25th & 26th March 2022. The objective of this special issue is to call for high-quality papers covering the latest data analytic concepts and technologies of big data and artificial intelligence. This special issue serves as a forum for researchers across the globe to discuss their work and recent advances in this field. The best papers from Artificial intelligence and Big Data Analytics (BAM) in the domains of Product, Finance, Health, and Environment were invited, peer-reviewed. The best high-quality papers were selected based on the innovativeness and relevance of the theme. The amount of data being generated and stored in various fields such as education, energy, environment, healthcare, fraud detection, and traffic is increasing exponentially in the modern era of Big Data. Simultaneously, there is a significant paradigm shift in business and society worldwide due to rapid advancements in fields such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and data analytics. This creates significant challenges for decision-making and the potential for transformation in areas such as the economy, government, and industry. Artificial Intelligence tools, techniques, and technologies, in conjunction with Big Data, improve the predictive power of the systems created and allow the government, public, and private sectors to discover new patterns and trends, as well as improve public values such as accountability, safety, security, and transparency to enable better decision-making, policies, and governance. They also have a wide range of capabilities to perform complex tasks that humans cannot. They could be used to collect, organize, and analyze large, diverse data sets to discover patterns and trends that address a variety of problems related to the development of the economy, such as identifying new sources of revenue, expanding the customer base for business, product reviews, and promotion, disease prediction and prevention, climatic variation prediction, and the provision of energy solutions. The wide variety of subject areas discussed at the 5th International Conference on Intelligent Computing is reflected in the seven accepted papers presented in the following section.
