Typically, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approaches are used to simulate the interactions between a solvent, gas, and column's packing geometry while accounting for the thermodynamics, kinetics, heat, and mass transfer effects of the absorption process. These simulations can then be used explain a column's hydrodynamic characteristics and evaluate its CO₂-capture efficiency. However, these approaches are computationally expensive, making it difficult to evaluate numerous designs and operating conditions to improve efficiency at industrial scales. In this work, we comprehensively explore the application of statistical ML methods, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and graph neural networks (GNNs) to aid and accelerate the scale-up and design optimization of solvent-based post-combustion CCSs. We apply these methods to CFD datasets of countercurrent flows in absorption columns with structured packings characterized by several geometric parameters. We train models to use these parameters, inlet velocity conditions, and other model-specific representations of the column to estimate key determinants of CO₂-capture efficiency without having to simulate additional CFD datasets. We also evaluate the impact of different input types on the accuracy and generalizability of each model. We discuss the strengths and limitations of each approach to further elucidate the role of CNNs, GNNs, and other machine learning approaches for CO₂-capture property prediction and design optimization.</p>","PeriodicalId":33315,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence","volume":"7 ","pages":"1441934"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11603113/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142751859","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}

However, these models often struggle to mirror the GNN performance of the original graphs. In this work, we present SkyMap, a generative model for labeled attributed graphs with a fine-grained control over graph topology and feature distribution parameters. We show that our model is able to consistently replicate the learnability of graphs on graph convolutional, attention, and isomorphism networks better (64% lower Wasserstein distance) than ALBTER and GenCAT. Further, we prove that by randomly sampling the input parameters of SkyMap, graph dataset constellations can be created that cover a large parametric space, hence making a significant stride in crafting synthetic datasets tailored for GNN evaluation and benchmarking, as we illustrate through a performance comparison between a GNN and a multilayer perceptron.</p>","PeriodicalId":33315,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence","volume":"7 ","pages":"1427534"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11602517/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142751866","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}

The translation of this research into tools used in live clinical practice has however been limited, with many projects lacking clinical involvement and planning beyond the initial model development stage. To support the move toward a more coordinated and collaborative working process from concept to investigative use in a live clinical environment, we present a multistage workflow framework for the co-development and operationalization of machine learning models which use routine clinical data derived from electronic health records.

This mini-review methodically describes GAI's practical implementations and limitations in meeting these needs. It included journal and conference papers from 2019 to 2024, focusing on empirical studies that employ GAI tools in educational contexts while addressing their practical utility and ethical considerations. The selection criteria excluded non-English studies, non-empirical research, and works published before 2019. From the dataset obtained from Scopus and Web of Science as of June 18, 2024, four significant studies were reviewed. These studies involved tools like ChatGPT and emphasized their effectiveness in boosting student engagement and emotional regulation through interactive learning environments with instant feedback. Nonetheless, the review reveals substantial deficiencies in GAI's capacity to promote critical thinking and maintain response accuracy, potentially leading to learner confusion. Moreover, the ability of these tools to tailor learning experiences and offer emotional support remains limited, often not satisfying individual learner requirements. The findings from the included studies suggest limited generalizability beyond specific GAI versions, with studies being cross-sectional and involving small participant pools. Practical implications underscore the need to develop teaching strategies leveraging GAI to enhance critical thinking. There is also a need to improve the accuracy of GAI tools' responses.

This ethical dimension, derived from the underlying code and training data, shapes the recommendations given, behaviors exhibited, and perceptions had by AI. These factors influence how AI is regulated, used, misused, and impacts end-users. The multifaceted nature of AI's influence has sparked extensive discussions across disciplines like Science and Technology Studies (STS), Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) studies, public policy analysis, and responsible innovation-underscoring the need to examine AI's ethical ramifications. While the initial wave of AI ethics focused on articulating principles and guidelines, recent scholarship increasingly emphasizes the practical implementation of ethical principles, regulatory oversight, and mitigating unforeseen negative consequences. Drawing from the concept of \"ethics dumping\" in research ethics, this paper argues that practices surrounding AI development and deployment can, unduly and in a very concerning way, offload ethical responsibilities from developers and regulators to ill-equipped users and host environments. Four key trends illustrating such ethics dumping are identified: (1) AI developers embedding ethics through coded value assumptions, (2) AI ethics guidelines promoting broad or unactionable principles disconnected from local contexts, (3) institutions implementing AI systems without evaluating ethical implications, and (4) decision-makers enacting ethical governance frameworks disconnected from practice. Mitigating AI ethics dumping requires empowering users, fostering stakeholder engagement in norm-setting, harmonizing ethical guidelines while allowing flexibility for local variation, and establishing clear accountability mechanisms across the AI ecosystem.</p>","PeriodicalId":33315,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence","volume":"7 ","pages":"1426761"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11582056/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142710728","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}
