This book presents high-quality research papers presented at 3rd International Conference on Sustainable and Innovative Solutions for Current Challenges in Engineering and Technology (ICSISCET 2021) held at Madhav Institute of Technology & Science (MITS), Gwalior, India, from November 13–14, 2021. The book extensively covers recent research in artificial intelligence (AI) that knits together nature-inspired algorithms, evolutionary computing, fuzzy systems, computational intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, etc., which is very useful while dealing with real problems due to their model-free structure, learning ability, and flexible approach. These techniques mimic human thinking and decision-making abilities to produce systems that are intelligent, efficient, cost-effective, and fast. The book provides a friendly and informative treatment of the topics which makes this book an ideal reference for both beginners and experienced researchers.
