This book illustrates recent advances in Neural Artificial Intelligent Theories and Applications discussed by selected papers presented at 30th edition of the International Workshops on Neural Network (WIRN 2023). The book discusses novel technologies for unsupervised multimodal complex autonomous systems using new generation of AI algorithms. The book also reports on advanced acoustical, perceptual, and psychological analysis of verbal and non-verbal communication of signals originating in spontaneous face-to-face interaction, automatic procedures capable of recognizing human emotional states, and applications improving the performance of humanmachine interaction for the deployment of socially and emotionally believable assistive technologies.

Eros G. Pasero is a professor of Electronics at Polytechnic of Turin since 1991. He was a visiting professor at ICSI Berkeley (1991), Tongji University Shanghai (2011, 2015), and Tashkent Polytechnic University, Uzbekistan. His interests are in artificial neural networks and electronic sensors. He heads the Neuronica Lab (1990) where wired and wireless sensors are developed for biomedical, environmental, automotive applications, and sensor signals are processed by neural networks. Prof. Pasero is the president of the Italian Society for Neural Networks (SIREN) and was a general chair of IJCNN2000, SIRWEC2006, and WIRN 2015. He received several awards and holds five international patents. He supervised 10 international Ph.D. and 100 Master theses and is an author of 100+ international publications.

Gennaro Cordasco received the Laurea degree summa cum laude (in 2002) and the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science (2006) from the University of Salerno (Italy). He has been a research-scholar at the Theoretical Aspect of Parallel and Distributed Systems (TAPADS) Lab, in the Department of Computer Science, University of Massachusetts at Amherst MA, USA, doing research activity under the supervision of the Distinguished Professor Arnold L. Rosenberg (From March to November 2005). Gennaro Cordasco is an associate professor at the Università della Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli" (Italy) and member of the editorial board of COGNITIVE COMPUTATION and  Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing. He is codirecting the activities of the Behavioral Cognitive Systems (BeCogSys) research group.
