Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a new Special Issue, "Machine Learning in Data Analytics and Prediction", which aims to allow researchers and practitioners from different research areas to share their experiences in developing state-of-the-art machine learning-based analytics and prediction solutions through new methods, novel architectures and systems, and real-world applications that could benefit from the proposed solutions. Researchers are invited to submit research works describing innovative methods, algorithms, and platforms covering any facets of machine learning in data analytics and prediction. Application papers detailing industrial implementations, design, and deployment experience reports on how machine learning can solve relevant practical problems related to analytics and prediction are also welcome. 

We welcome technical, experimental, and methodological manuscripts, as well as contributions to applied data science, that address any topics on advances in machine learning-based analytics and prediction methods, systems, and applications, including data and integration, deep neural networks, explainable AI, computational intelligence, and concept drift management, in fields like management, business, engineering, computer science, and physical, social, and life sciences.

Application scenarios of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Cybersecurity and privacy maintenance.
  • Management and marketing.
  • Economics, finance, and accounting.
  • Life sciences and healthcare.
  • Internet of Things (IoT).
  • Energy and Industry 4.0.
  • Business and societal challenges.
  • Environmental sustainability.

In multivariate and multistep time series prediction research, we often face the problems of insufficient spatial feature extraction and insufficient time-dependent mining of historical series data, which also brings great challenges to multivariate time series analysis and prediction. Inspired by the attention mechanism and residual module, this study proposes a multivariate time series prediction method based on a convolutional-residual gated recurrent hybrid model (CNN-DA-RGRU) with a two-layer attention mechanism to solve the multivariate time series prediction problem in these two stages. Specifically, the convolution module of the proposed model is used to extract the relational features among the sequences, and the two-layer attention mechanism can pay more attention to the relevant variables and give them higher weights to eliminate the irrelevant features, while the residual gated loop module is used to extract the time-varying features of the sequences, in which the residual block is used to achieve the direct connectivity to enhance the expressive power of the model, to solve the gradient explosion and vanishing scenarios, and to facilitate gradient propagation. Experiments were conducted on two public datasets using the proposed model to determine the model hyperparameters, and ablation experiments were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the model; by comparing it with several models, the proposed model was found to achieve good results in multivariate time series-forecasting tasks.
