Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As digital ecosystems grow and diversify, recommender systems have become integral in delivering personalized experiences, enhancing user engagement across sectors like e-commerce, social media, entertainment, and healthcare. With the rapid advancement of AI and data science, there is a growing interest in developing models and algorithms that not only improve recommendation accuracy but also address challenges in scalability, interpretability, user privacy, ethics, cold-start problems, data heterogeneity, and the integration of large language models.
Traditional recommendation approaches, though widely used, face limitations in handling sparse, noisy, and evolving data environments. Recently, advanced techniques in deep learning, graph neural networks, and hybrid collaborative methods have shown promising potential in tackling these challenges by leveraging contextual, sequential, and multi-modal data.
This Special Issue, “Advanced Models and Algorithms for Recommender Systems”, brings together cutting-edge research focused on refining recommender systems through enhanced modeling, innovative algorithms, and practical implementations. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive resource for researchers and practitioners seeking to develop intelligent and reliable recommender systems in increasingly complex digital ecosystems.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
