Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and autonomous intelligent systems are transforming predictive decision-making across industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, finance, transportation, cybersecurity, and smart cities. Traditional centralized machine learning models often struggle to adapt to dynamic and uncertain environments. This paper proposes an Agent-Based Machine Learning Framework for Autonomous Predictive Decision Systems (ABML-APDS) that integrates distributed intelligent agents, collaborative learning, reinforcement learning, predictive analytics, and explainable AI into a unified architecture. The framework enables autonomous agents to collect data, engineer features, exchange knowledge, optimize predictions, and continuously improve decision-making with minimal human intervention. It incorporates explainable decision mechanisms to enhance transparency, trust, and interpretability while supporting supervised, unsupervised, deep, and reinforcement learning models. Continuous learning and decentralized agent collaboration improve adaptability, scalability, fault tolerance, computational efficiency, and real-time responsiveness.

Federated Continual Learning for Privacy-Preserving Predictive Intelligence
Federated Learning (FL) enables privacy-preserving collaborative model training without sharing raw data but faces challenges in handling concept drift, non-IID data, and evolving tasks. Although Continual Learning (CL) supports lifelong knowledge adaptation and mitigates catastrophic forgetting, most existing approaches are designed for centralized environments. To address these limitations, this paper proposes the Federated Continual Learning framework for Privacy-Preserving Predictive Intelligence (FCL3Pi), which integrates federated optimization with continual learning to enable adaptive, decentralized, and privacy-preserving predictive intelligence. The framework incorporates decentralized model aggregation, local incremental learning, dynamic memory replay, adaptive regularization, and secure communication to improve learning under dynamic data distributions. It addresses key challenges including catastrophic forgetting, data heterogeneity, client drift, communication efficiency, scalability, and edge resource constraints. Experimental evaluation demonstrates improved prediction accuracy, knowledge retention, privacy preservation, communication efficiency, and convergence stability compared with conventional centralized learning, standalone continual learning, and traditional federated learning. The proposed framework provides a robust foundation for next-generation intelligent applications in healthcare, industrial automation, autonomous transportation, financial systems, smart cities, and large-scale IoT environments.

Physics-Informed Machine Learning Models for Reliable Time-Series Forecasting
Time-series forecasting is considered as one of the cornerstones for intelligent decision-making in various application domains such as renewable energy systems, healthcare, financial markets, climate science, industrial automation and smart transportation. While state-of-the-art deep learning models such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and Transformer architectures can produce impressive predictions when trained on a sequence of historical observations, these techniques are primarily data-driven approaches that ignore governing physical principles of dynamic systems. As a consequence, such models can make physically inconsistent predictions, generalise poorly under distributional shifts or use prohibitively large amounts of labeled training data. Common approaches that have been recently introduced to leverage existing domain-specific physical knowledge with data-driven learning to obtain more accurate, robust and interpretable predictions include Physics-Informed Machine Learning (PIML).

High-dimensional data are now ubiquitous in the modern science and industry, such as bioinformatics, text mining, computer vision, finance, and cybersecurity. A prominent feature of such data is having many features in comparison with the number of observations, which may cause the judgement problem of the curse of dimensionality, greater computational cost, feature overlap, and overfitting. Though supervised learning algorithms are extensively used to do predictive modeling, they have very different performance properties in high dimensional feature space. The paper contains a thorough comparison of some of the most popular supervised learning algorithms in the high-dimensional data analysis scenario. The paper provides a systematic comparison between the linear, non-linear, probabilistic, and ensemble-based classifiers, which are: Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, k -Nearest Neighbor, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, and Artificial Neural Network.

Improved Gradient Descent Optimization Using Adaptive Step-Sizing
Gradient Descent (GD) is among the classic and most common optimization algorithms in machine learning, signal processing and numerical optimization. Although conceptually appealing and simple, traditional gradient descent with a constant learning rate is prone to slow convergence, oscillation or divergence, particularly in high-dimensional non-convex or ill-conditioned optimization problems. The choice of a suitable size of steps (learning rate) is also a critical issue since the progressively small step sizes results in very sluggish convergence, and conversely, the large step size can overshoot the minima. This paper describes a creation of a better gradient descent based on adaptive step-sizing, which varies the learning rate at each training step based on the gradient tendencies and previous update data. The suggested methodology will be designed to make convergence faster, achieve better numerical stability, and have more robustness in a broad longitude of optimization problems. We present a complete formulation of theory, the design of algorithms and their comparison with classical gradient descent and other popular adaptive versions. The presence of extensive experiments on benchmarks of optimization functions and machine learning tasks demonstrate that adaptive step-sizing has a substantial positive effect both on the rate of convergence and the quality of the solution and on the sensitivity to hyper parameter++ starting point. The findings prove that when used in contemporary optimization problems with large scale, adaptive gradient descent techniques are feasible and scaled to large scale problems. The contribution of this work is a framework that is well structured and can be easily incorporated into the existing learning systems and optimization pipelines.
