Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a Special Issue on the “Application of Data Mining in Decision Support Systems (DSSs)” for an upcoming edition of Electronics. In recent years, data mining (DM) has emerged as a key technology to extract valuable insights from large datasets, and its integration with decision support systems has proven to be transformative in many domains.

This Special Issue highlights the importance of applying data mining techniques to enhance decision support systems across diverse domains, including healthcare, finance, marketing, e-government, transportation, and beyond. Data mining can automate complex decision processes, offer real-time insights, and help uncover hidden relationships in data that traditional approaches often overlook. With increasing reliance on data-driven strategies, the potential for improvement in decision making is enormous, making this research highly relevant and timely.

Original research articles and reviews are welcome for submission in this Special Issue. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Integration of machine learning and data mining methods with DSSs;
  • Predictive analytics and decision making in DSSs;
  • Big data analytics for decision support;
  • Applications of data mining in healthcare, finance, supply chain, marketing, transportation, and e-government;
  • Data-driven decision models and frameworks;
  • Real-time decision making with data mining techniques;
  • Challenges and future directions for data mining in DSSs.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Multimodal sentiment analysis (MSA) faces key challenges such as incomplete modality inputs, long-range temporal dependencies, and suboptimal fusion strategies. To address these, we propose MGMR-Net, a Mamba-guided multimodal reconstruction and fusion network that integrates modality-aware reconstruction with text-centric fusion within an efficient state-space modeling framework. MGMR-Net consists of two core components: the Mamba-collaborative fusion module, which utilizes a two-stage selective state-space mechanism for fine-grained cross-modal alignment and hierarchical temporal integration, and the Mamba-enhanced reconstruction module, which employs continuous-time recurrence and dynamic gating to accurately recover corrupted or missing modality features. The entire network is jointly optimized via a unified multi-task loss, enabling simultaneous learning of discriminative features for sentiment prediction and reconstructive features for modality recovery. Extensive experiments on CMU-MOSI, CMU-MOSEI, and CH-SIMS datasets demonstrate that MGMR-Net consistently outperforms several baseline methods under both complete and missing modality settings, achieving superior accuracy, robustness, and generalization.
