Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Successful machine learning applications require the correct use of the underlying training data in order to optimize and select the best models for a particular task. During this process, human feedback can correct model errors and update model parameters to dynamically adapt to changing data. Interactive Machine Learning (IML) deals with this Special Issue by creating an efficient collaboration between users and machine learning algorithms.

In this field, Technology-assisted review (TAR) systems and eDiscovery use a kind of human-in-the-loop approach where classification and/or ranking algorithms are continuously trained according to the relevant feedback from expert reviewers until a substantial number of the relevant objects are identified.

Methods to combine (inter)-active machine learning and Visual Data Mining (VDM) interaction approaches through the iterative process with a human-in-the-loop strategy are part of the research questions addressed in this Special Issue.

Topics for this Special Issue are (but are not limited to):

  • Design and implementation of interactive machine learning/data mining systems;
  • Evaluation approaches/measures of IML and VDM systems;
  • User studies and Evaluation protocols;
  • Active Learning strategies for IML and VDM;
  • Reproducibility of interactive systems.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

MortalityMinder enables healthcare researchers, providers, payers, and policy makers to gain actionable insights into where and why premature mortality rates due to all causes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and deaths of despair rose between 2000 and 2017 for adults aged 25–64. MortalityMinder is designed as an open-source web-based visualization tool that enables interactive analysis and exploration of social, economic, and geographic factors associated with mortality at the county level. We provide case studies to illustrate how MortalityMinder finds interesting relationships between health determinants and deaths of despair. We also demonstrate how GPT-4 can help translate statistical results from MortalityMinder into actionable insights to improve population health. When combined with MortalityMinder results, GPT-4 provides hypotheses on why socio-economic risk factors are associated with mortality, how they might be causal, and what actions could be taken related to the risk factors to improve outcomes with supporting citations. We find that GPT-4 provided plausible and insightful answers about the relationship between social determinants and mortality. Our work is a first step towards enabling public health stakeholders to automatically discover and visualize relationships between social determinants of health and mortality based on available data and explain and transform these into meaningful results using artificial intelligence.
