Applications of Artificial Intelligence Using Real Data

Dear Colleagues,

The topic “data is the new oil” has been discussed in editorials from Forbes to The Economist. The continuous and non-continuous information data sources are both advantageous and a challenge to the future economy and society. The artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms used to process such data require acceptable accuracy rates for specific tasks. Yet, over time, the monitoring accuracy, processing overhead and transparency of such algorithms still warrant careful analysis for real applications. Data-driven methods can also be unintentionally contaminated by bias or undermined by concept drift within dynamical data streams. The goal of this Special Issue in the journal of Information is to map how artificial intelligence algorithms can be applied to real problems and address such issues. Specific focus will be given to applications in areas such as medicine, education, IoT, and finance. Original research work, significantly extended versions of conference papers, and review papers are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• AI in medicine and healthcare;
• Data mining in genomics;
• AI-powered therapy;
• Data mining using epidemiological data;
• Data mining in education;
• Mining public data sources;
• IoT and data stream mining;
• Cybersecurity and data mining;
• AI in stock markets;
• AI in industry and services;
• AI in finance, marketing, and production.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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 1800 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.
