Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Artificial intelligence (AI) and neural networks are evolving rapidly, enabling breakthroughs in deep learning, reinforcement learning, generative modeling, and explainable AI. This special issue aims to highlight innovative research and applications that advance the theory, methodology, and practical deployment of AI. We invite original contributions that address novel architectures, training strategies, optimization methods, and interdisciplinary applications across healthcare, finance, robotics, climate science, and more. Submissions that explore ethical, responsible, and trustworthy AI are particularly welcome.
This Special Issue highlights recent advances and emerging trends in neural networks and artificial intelligence. It welcomes contributions on novel architectures, learning paradigms, optimization techniques, and applications across healthcare, finance, robotics, and more, with emphasis on explainable, ethical, and responsible AI that bridges theory and practice.

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.
