Military Applications of Machine Learning: A Bibliometric Perspective

Abstract

The military environment generates a large amount of data of great importance, which makes necessary the use of machine learning for its processing. Its ability to learn and predict possible scenarios by analyzing the huge volume of information generated provides automatic learning and decision support. This paper aims to present a model of a machine learning architecture applied to a military organization, carried out and supported by a bibliometric study applied to an architecture model of a nonmilitary organization. For this purpose, a bibliometric analysis up to the year 2021 was carried out, making a strategic diagram and interpreting the results. The information used has been extracted from one of the main databases widely accepted by the scientific community, ISI WoS. No direct military sources were used. This work is divided into five parts: the study of previous research related to machine learning in the military world; the explanation of our research methodology using the SciMat, Excel and VosViewer tools; the use of this methodology based on data mining, preprocessing, cluster normalization, a strategic diagram and the analysis of its results to investigate machine learning in the military context; based on these results, a conceptual architecture of the practical use of ML in the military context is drawn up; and, finally, we present the conclusions, where we will see the most important areas and the latest advances in machine learning applied, in this case, to a military environment, to analyze a large set of data, providing utility, machine learning and decision support.

Emerging Perspectives on the Application of Recommender Systems in Smart Cities

“…The initial phase of our literature review involved formulating the research objectives, which served as the basis for defining the scope of the study and guiding the review process [44]. The systematic review was designed to explore the current application status of recommender systems in smart city development.…”

Data Sources as a Driver for Market-Oriented Tourism Organizations: a Bibliometric Perspective

“…The methodology used in this paper is inspired on Cobo et al (2011), Carrasco-Aguilar et al (2022), Galán et al (2022), and Minhas and Sindakis (2021).…”

Obamacare: A bibliometric perspective

“…Its objective is to show the structural and dynamic aspects of scientific research to enable further interpretation. In this paper we will follow the methodology shown in Figure 1, which is inspired by Cobo (44) and Galán et al (45). The advantage of this methodology is that there are tools that allow us to carry out most of its stages, and in this study we mainly use the following tools: SciMAT (5), VOSviewer (46), and Microsoft Excel.…”

“…To carry out this study we required high-quality scientific literature published on the ACA. There are several bibliographic database options (45): Clarivate, Scopus, Google Scholar, etc.…”
