Data Mining in Natural Language Processing: Latest Advances and Prospects

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue of Electronics, “Data Mining in Natural Language Processing: Latest Advances and Prospects”, explores the latest advancements in data mining applied in natural language processing and the broader implications. We invite contributions that focus on proposing new real-world databases; elevating the current state of the art; introducing new methodologies and innovative approaches for processing and analyzing complex data; and extracting valuable information from high-dimensional, noisy, and multimodal data that integrates different modalities, including text, images, signals, or speech.

Articles are expected to discuss the challenges of data mining and data architectures, advance the field of natural language processing, and discuss the ethical considerations of data mining approaches applied to natural language processing.

Original research articles are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Advances in text mining.
• Interpretability and analysis of models in NLP.
• Sentiment analysis and opinion mining.
• Text summarization and text classification.
• Information retrieval.
• Social media analysis.
• Multimodal natural language processing.
• Generative models and Large Language Models.
• Multimodal Large Language Models.
• Advanced Language models.
• Ethics in data mining.
