Dear Friends,

What you have in your hands is the second issue of the scientific collection following the Artificial Intelligence Journey 2023 (AI Journey), published as a special issue of Doklady Mathematics, a leading academic journal in the industry and a special RAS publication.

We are committed to speaking about the key scientific achievements and supporting researchers in their aspiration to create cutting-edge AI solutions that open up new opportunities for the advancement of science.

This year, the research paper competition welcomed over 270 entries on the most topical problems in data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning: artificial general intelligence (AGI), large language models (LLM), computer vision (CV), reinforcement learning (RL), natural language processing (NLP), generative adversarial networks (GAN), graphs, transformer models (Transformers), Sustainable AI, AI for Good, and its use in healthcare and other industries. Selected together with the Ivannikov Institute for System Programming of the Russian Academy of Sciences and leading experts, the best papers were included in the current issue.

We hope that the readers of our second issue will enjoy the research papers that will outline the tracks of the future technologies. We invite you to the journey in the world of artificial intelligence!

“In recent years, the AI Journey Conference has grown into a key venue facilitating scientific research, exchange of best practices and insights in the artificial intelligence and machine learning domains. I would like to highlight the high level of the submitted papers: experts had to work hard to choose the worthiest ones. As a result, the selected papers, firstly, have a large fundamental and practical interest and, secondly, reflect the entire spectrum of the most topical vectors of development behind the artificial intelligence technology. They are topical, I underline, not only for the scientific community, but for the society in general, because the value of artificial intelligence is steadily rising and its development rate beats the most optimistic expectations.”

Alexander Vedyakhin,First Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board of Sberbank
