developed in the frame of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning
(ML) are rapidly evolving technologies that are transforming various
industries. CB enables machines/systems to exhibit human-like intelligence,
offering these machines many opportunities to learn from experience. This
Special Issue aims to explore the theoretical foundations, broad range of
applications, and future directions of CB. Theoretical research can include
ideas such as new algorithms and optimization techniques, while applications
can range from drug design to discovery. Additionally, topics on ethics and
security aim to enhance societal impact and the reliability of CB drug design
and discovery. This Special Issue seeks to uncover the potential and
limitations of CB, encouraging innovative research and applications in the
field of interest.</span></p><p class="ydp7d4cd0c5MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">
