Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Symmetry/Asymmetry and Artificial Intelligence: Models, Methods, and Applications”, invites high-quality contributions exploring the interplay between symmetry principles and artificial intelligence. Symmetry and asymmetry are fundamental concepts that underpin many aspects of data representation, model design, and computational efficiency. In artificial intelligence, they emerge naturally in machine learning, deep learning, graph theory, and intelligent systems, where exploiting symmetry can reduce complexity, enhance generalization, and improve interpretability, while asymmetry often drives adaptability, robustness, and novel learning strategies.
The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together theoretical developments, methodological innovations, and real-world applications that reveal how symmetry and asymmetry shape intelligent models and algorithms. We encourage submissions addressing new frameworks, optimization strategies, and domain-specific applications where symmetry or asymmetry plays a critical role. Both fundamental research and applied studies across diverse areas of AI are welcome.

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
