The successful implementation of AI is a challenging task, and previous research has advocated the need to explore key readiness before AI implementation. The objective of this study is to identify the AI readiness factors explored by different authors in past research. To achieve this, we conducted a rigorous literature review. The approach used in the systematic literature review is also discussed. A rigorous review of 52 studies from various journals and databases (Science Direct, Springer Link, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Emerald, and Google Scholar) identified 23 AI readiness factors. The key factors identified were mainly related to organizational information technology infrastructure, top management support, resource availability, collaborative culture, organizational size, organizational capability, compatibility, data quality, and financial budget, whereas the other 15 were potential factors in AI readiness. All of these factors should be considered before the implementation of AI in any organization. The findings also reflect a high failure rate, including AI readiness factors, which are intended to facilitate AI adoption in organizations and reduce the frequency of failures. These factors will aid management in developing an effective strategy for AI implementation in organizations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100353,"journal":{"name":"Data Science and Management","volume":"8 2","pages":"Pages 224-236"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144263659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The triadic concept analysis theory has been proposed to describe the ternary relationships between objects, attributes, and conditions. In this study, we present a methodology for exploring longitudinal health databases using both the triadic theory and triadic rules, which are similar to association rules but incorporate temporal relations. Through four case studies, we demonstrate the potential of applying triadic analysis to longitudinal databases to identify risk patterns, enhance decision-making processes, and deepen our understanding of temporal dynamics. These findings suggest a promising approach for describing longitudinal databases and obtaining insights to improve clinical decision-support systems for disease treatment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100353,"journal":{"name":"Data Science and Management","volume":"8 2","pages":"Pages 160-173"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144222283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although many algorithms have been proposed to address anomaly detection for numerical datasets, categorical and mixed datasets remain a significant challenge, primarily because a natural distance metric is lacking. Consequently, the methods proposed in the literature implement entirely different assumptions regarding the definition of categorical anomalies. This paper presents a novel categorical anomaly detection approach, offering two key contributions to existing methods. First, a novel surprisal-based anomaly score is introduced, which provides a more accurate assessment of anomalies by considering the full distribution of categorical values. Second, the proposed method considers complex correlations in the data beyond the pairwise interactions of features. This study proposed and tested the novel categorical surprisal anomaly detection algorithm (CSAD) by comparing and evaluating it against six competitors. The experimental results indicate that CSAD produced the best overall performance, achieving the highest average ROC-AUC and PR-AUC values of 0.8 and 0.443, respectively. Furthermore, CSAD's execution time is satisfactory even when processing large, high-dimensional datasets.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100353,"journal":{"name":"Data Science and Management","volume":"8 2","pages":"Pages 185-195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144222282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study found that first, IRA can significantly reduce CIE, but there is a U-shaped nexus between the two, which shows a rebound effect. Second, the heterogeneity test demonstrates that in comparison to both the low-tech and high-tech sectors, IRA in the medium-tech industry can significantly reduce CIE; compared with the low-IRA sectors, the high-IRA sectors exhibit a more obvious reduction. In addition, IRA has a stronger effect on high-carbon-intensity areas. Third, the mechanism test shows that IRA mainly affects CIE through low-carbon technology and productivity effects. Moreover, environmental regulations and the manufacturing intelligence process positively moderate the nexus between IRA and CIE.

The refined real-time control scheme is integrated with a day-ahead optimization engine and forecast model, which is utilized for illustrative simulations to highlight its potential efficacy on a real site. Furthermore, a comprehensive comparison with the original formulation was conducted to cover all possible scenarios. This analysis validated the operational effectiveness of the scheme and provided a detailed evaluation of the improvements and expected behavior of the control system. Incorrect or improper adjustments to mitigate forecast uncertainties can result in suboptimal energy management, significant financial losses and penalties, and potential contract violations. The revised algorithm optimizes the operation of the battery system in real time and safeguards its state of health by limiting the charging/discharging cycles and enforcing adherence to contractual agreements. These advancements yield a reliable and efficient real-time correction algorithm for optimal site management, designed as an independent white box that can be integrated with any day-ahead optimization control system.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100353,"journal":{"name":"Data Science and Management","volume":"8 1","pages":"Pages 59-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141846117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
