Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Machine learning (ML), data mining (DM), and data sciences in general are among the most exciting and rapidly growing research fields today. In recent years, ML and DM have been successfully used to solve practical problems in various domains, including engineering, healthcare, medicine, manufacturing, transportation, and finance.
In this era of big data, considerable research is being focused on designing efficient ML and DM methods. Nonetheless, practical applications of ML face several challenges, such as dealing with either too small or big data, missing and uncertain data, highly multidimensional data, and the need for interpretable ML models that can provide trustable evidence and explanations of the predictions they make. Moreover, in a time where the complexity of systems is continuously growing, it becomes not always feasible to collect clean and exhaustive datasets and produce high-quality labels. In addition, most systems generate data that are subject to change over time due to external conditions resulting in non-stationary data distributions. Therefore, there is a need to do more “knowledge creation”: to develop ML and DM methods that sift through large amounts of streaming data and extract useful high-level knowledge from there, without human supervision or with very little of it. In addition, learning and obtaining good generalization from fewer training examples, efficient data/knowledge representation schemes, knowledge transfer between tasks and domains, and learning to adapt to varying contexts are also examples of important research problems.
To address such problems, this Special Issue invites researchers to contribute new methods and to demonstrate the applicability of existing methods in various fields.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Novel methods and algorithms in machine learning, data mining, data science, including data cleaning, clustering, classification, feature selection and extraction, neural networks and deep learning, representation learning, knowledge discovery, anomaly detection, fault detection, transfer learning, and active learning;
- Solutions improving the state-of-the-art regarding important challenges such as big data, streaming data, time series, interactive learning, concept drift and nonstationary data, change detection, and dimensionality reduction;
- Applications in various domains, for example, activity and event recognition, computational biology and bioinformatics, computational social science, game playing, healthcare, information retrieval, natural language processing, predictive maintenance, recommender systems, signal processing, web applications, and internet data;
- Societal challenges associated with AI, such as fairness, accountability, and transparency or privacy, anonymity, and security.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).
