Machine Learning and AI Technology for Sustainability

Dear Colleagues,

Machine learning, artificial intelligence and a wide field of related technologies (in e.g. data science and intellgent systems) have contributed significantly 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.

The Guest Editors seek publications that address, but are not limited to, the following domains, related to the diverse aspects of machine learning and artificial intelligence for sustainability research:  

• 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
