Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As smart devices are increasingly used in our daily lives, their importance in managing our sensitive personal data is also increasing. Regarding protecting privacy, deep learning, such as generative adversarial networks (GANs), deep neural networks (DNNs), temporal convolutional networks (TCNs), and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), stands out. These tools analyze data with high accuracy and are widely used. They detect, identify, analyze, classify, and extract features from comprehensive datasets including various smart devices and attack scenarios, achieve the accurate protection of various scenario datasets, promote secure data sharing for research and analysis, and protect personal privacy.
This Special Issue aims to study the latest progress and potential directions of deep learning in the field of sensitive information protection. Research papers and reviews in related fields are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Deep learning.
- Segmentation.
- Feature extraction.
- Generative adversarial networks.
- Sensitive information.
- Information security.
- Convolutional neural networks.
- Classification based on deep learning.
- Biometric information.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
