Machine Learning and AI Technology for Sustainable Development

Dear Colleagues,

Machine learning, artificial intelligence and a wide field of related technologies (e.g., in data science and intelligent systems) have significantly contributed to research into sustainability. They have provided breakthrough concepts, state-of-the-art technology and a wide range of innovations to tackle the problems we face.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Machine learning and AI for environment and health;
• Machine learning and AI for agriculture and industry 4.0;
• Machine learning and AI for air, water and climate sustainability;
• Machine learning and AI for smart energy, renewable energy and green fuel;
• Machine learning and AI for smart cities;
• Machine learning and AI for sustainable policy making;
• Machine learning and AI for traffic management and transportation;
• Machine learning benchmark datasets, platforms and tools for sustainability research.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
