Machine Learning on Various Data Sources in Smart Applications
This special issue belongs to the section “Computing and Artificial Intelligence“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Machine learning combines high-performance computing, leading to unusual solutions for multi-model data analysis problems. Machine learning-empowered systems can today achieve performance levels in various data analysis tasks comparable to, or even exceeding, those of humans. These advancements have the potential to open new high-impact applications in different environments. In this Special Issue, the authors will use theoretical, methodological, and experimental contributions to fully exploit machine learning solutions in smart applications. The topics will include, but are not limited to:
- Lightweight machine learning models for visual and audio data analysis and applications.
- Machine learning models for efficient multimodal data analysis and fusion.
- Sensor data analysis based on machine learning.
- Efficient deep learning methodologies for the Internet of Things.
- Machine learning for applications in smart homes, smart lighting.
- Machine learning for smart city applications.
- Machine learning and deep learning for intelligent transportation systems.
- Machine learning and deep learning for natural language processing and applications.
- Machine learning and deep learning for medical sciences applications.
- Machine learning for virtual reality applications.
- Machine learning for Metaverse applications.

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. 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.
