Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches for analyzing time series data and recognizing complex patterns across diverse domains. We invite original research articles and comprehensive review papers that advance the theoretical foundations or practical applications of deep learning architectures, transformer models, reinforcement learning, and hybrid AI systems specifically designed for temporal data challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: novel architectures for multivariate time series forecasting, anomaly detection in streaming data, interpretable models for temporal pattern discovery, transfer learning for limited time series datasets, and AI techniques for real-time decision-making systems. We particularly welcome interdisciplinary submissions demonstrating innovative applications in healthcare, finance, industrial monitoring, environmental science, or smart infrastructure.

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.

Time series analysis and pattern recognition are cornerstones for innovation across diverse domains. In finance, these techniques enable market prediction and risk assessment. Astrophysicists use them to detect various phenomena and analyze data. Environmental scientists track ecosystem changes and pollution patterns, while healthcare professionals monitor patient vitals and disease progression. Transportation systems optimize traffic flow and predict maintenance needs. Energy providers balance grid loads and forecast consumption. Climate scientists model atmospheric changes and extreme weather events. Cybersecurity experts identify threats through anomaly detection in network traffic patterns. This editorial introduces this Special Issue, which explores state-of-the-art AI and machine learning (ML) techniques, including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, Transformers, ensemble methods, and AutoML frameworks. We highlight innovative applications in data-driven finance, astrophysical event reconstruction, cloud masking, and healthcare monitoring. Recent advancements in feature engineering, unsupervised learning frameworks for cloud masking, and Transformer-based time series forecasting demonstrate the potential of these technologies. The papers collected in this Special Issue showcase how integrating domain-specific knowledge with computational innovations provides a pathway to achieving higher accuracy in time series analysis across various scientific disciplines.
