Special Issue Information
Machine learning has been applied successfully for the last few decades in vast range of domains that include computer vision, natural language processing, pattern recognition, remote sensing etc. Machine learning techniques aid in developing predictive models, clustering, object segmentation, pattern classifications and so on. The data from which these machine learning systems learn governs several aspects such as performance and model complexity. However, data is either labeled by humans or automated methods, or a combination of both. Introduction of errors in labels happen at any stage of labeling that lead to a phenomenon called label noise. This is one of the most challenging issue to deal with as performance and model complexity is closely related to it. In many cases, label noise is ignored and assumed to be absent. But in reality, most of the times empirical data is error prone to label noise and explicit consideration of such noise should be given.
This Special Issue is intended to present discussions, techniques that are used to deal with label noise in different types of data, i.e., images, audio, video, text etc. in the arena of dense prediction, classification, regression, object detection and used in various disciplines such as medicine, finance, remote sensing, ecology, industrial control systems etc. Topics include but are not limited to the following areas:
- Sources of label noise in data from different disciplines
- Quantification of label noise
- Label noise robust learning methods
- Label noise injection methods
- Label noise filters
- Comparison of different labeling strategies, e.g., automated and crowd sourced labeling
- Effects of label noise on performance and model complexity
- Self and semi-supervised methods for learning from noisy data

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. Data is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1600 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
