AI-Driven Data Analytics and Mining

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid growth of data volumes and complexity has made AI-driven analytics and mining indispensable for extracting actionable knowledge. By integrating cybernetic feedback principles with advanced machine learning and sentiment analysis techniques, researchers can develop adaptive, self-regulating systems that learn from dynamic environments and human inputs. This convergence addresses critical challenges in processing high-velocity, heterogeneous data streams while ensuring robust decision support and system autonomy.

This Special Issue of Electronics welcomes contributions that advance AI-driven data analytics and mining, with a focus on cybernetics, big data analytics, and sentiment analysis. We seek original research, reviews, and case studies highlighting novel algorithms, system architectures, and end-to-end pipelines—from data acquisition and integration through to explainable modeling and deployment. Submissions should align with the journal’s mission to foster innovative, open access dissemination of impactful AI solutions.

Application scenarios of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Cybernetic control architectures for adaptive mining.
• Scalable big data preprocessing and feature-learning frameworks.
• Sentiment-aware text and social media analytics.
• IoT-enabled data mining applications.
• Cybersecurity and privacy maintenance.
• Industrial automation and cybernetic control in Industry 4.0.
• Big data analytics in finance and accounting.
• Sentiment analysis and social media intelligence.
• Life sciences and healthcare monitoring.
• Internet of Things (IoT) deployments.
• Management and marketing optimization.
• Environmental monitoring and sustainability.

I/We look forward to hearing from you.

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. Electronics 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.
