Innovations in Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing and Big Data

Dear Colleagues,

The integration of Big Data, AI, and NLP represents a powerful convergence of technologies that enhance each other's capabilities and open new frontiers for innovation and application. These technologies are now essential in many domains. Given the fast advancements and multidisciplinary nature of Big Data, AI, and NLP, the complexity is challenging. Integrating Big Data, AI, and NLP is driving transformative changes across various industries, enhancing capabilities and efficiency and creating new opportunities for innovation. Utilizing AI, NLP, and Big Data has empowered us to achieve once unattainable tasks, such as recognizing intricate patterns and trends, forecasting outcomes, and automating decision-making processes. When combined, Big Data, AI, and NLP create a virtuous cycle of improvement and capability,  for example, enhanced learning and insights, real-time processing and decision-making, improved human-machine interaction, and scalable and adaptive systems. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the innovations, current trends, emerging technologies, and persistent challenges in AI, Big Data, and NLP. This Special Issue will encompass a wide range of topics related to AI, Big Data and NLP, including but not limited to the following:

• Emerging trends in AI, NLP and Big Data research;
• Deep Learning Advancements and Reinforcement Learning;
• Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPT), Language Transformers and BERT;

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.
