Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit your latest research and reviews that explore innovative developments and practical applications to the Special Issue entitled "Advances in Machine Learning and Deep Learning: Innovations and Applications". This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research that not only advances the theoretical foundations of machine learning and deep learning but also demonstrates their applicability across various domains. This issue seeks to emphasize both the technical advancements and the transformative potential of these models in real-world applications. Machine learning and deep learning represent a core area of artificial intelligence that focuses on the development of systems that can learn from data, identify patterns, and make decisions. While machine learning relies on algorithms to parse data, learn from that data, and make informed decisions based on what it has learned, deep learning processes data through layers to make sense of it, which makes it capable of learning from data that are unstructured. Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Novel machine learning models and algorithms;
  • Deep learning architectures and optimization techniques;
  • Application of machine learning in healthcare, finance, autonomous vehicles, and more;
  • Deep learning applications in computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing;
  • Interpretability and explainability of machine learning and deep learning models;
  • Scalability and efficiency enhancements in computational models;
  • Advances in unsupervised, supervised, and semi-supervised learning;
  • Integrative AI systems combining machine learning and deep learning with other AI technologies.

We welcome original research papers, review articles, case studies, and short communications that contribute to the discourse in the field. Submissions should provide insightful analyses and robust methodologies, and contribute significantly to the advancement of machine learning and deep learning.

Abstract
Software defect prediction identifies defect-prone modules before testing, reducing costs and development time. Machine learning techniques are widely used, but high-dimensional datasets often degrade classification accuracy due to irrelevant features.

Software defect prediction identifies defect-prone modules before testing, reducing costs and development time. Machine learning techniques are widely used, but high-dimensional datasets often degrade classification accuracy due to irrelevant features. To address this, effective feature selection is essential but remains an NP-hard challenge best tackled with heuristic algorithms. This study introduces a binary, multi-objective starfish optimizer for optimal feature selection, balancing feature reduction and classification performance. A Choquet fuzzy integral-based ensemble classifier further enhances prediction reliability by aggregating multiple classifiers. The approach was validated on five NASA datasets, demonstrating superior performance over traditional classifiers. Key software metrics—such as design complexity, operators and operands count, lines of code, and numbers of branches—were found to significantly influence defect prediction. The results show that the proposed method improves classification performance by 1% to 13% while retaining only 33% to 57% of the original feature set, offering a reliable and interpretable solution for software defect prediction. This approach holds strong potential for broader, high-dimensional classification tasks. Full article
