Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, the entire world and software industry is looking for ways to apply the principles of data science and data analytics to address various difficult problems. The usage and application of machine learning and data analytics principles, methods, and techniques can contribute to address new problems and discover improved solutions. This Special Issue aims at bringing together applications of machine learning in various interdisciplinary domains and areas of interest, such as data mining, data analytics, and data science to cater to a wide landscape of methods, methodologies, and techniques which can be applied to obtain productive results. The aims of this Special Issue are: (1) to present state-of-the-art research on data mining and machine learning; and (2) to provide a forum for researchers to discuss the latest progress, new research methodologies, and potential research topics. Further, all submissions should explain the role of entropy or information theory applications to this field. Topics of interests include, but are not limited, to classification, regression and prediction, clustering, kernel methods, data mining, web mining, information retrieval, natural language processing, deep learning, probabilistic models and methods, vision and speech perception, bioinformatics, streaming data, industrial, financial, and educational applications. Papers will be evaluated based on their originality, presentation, relevance, and contribution, as well as their suitability and the quality in terms of both technical contribution and writing. The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original research which has not been published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

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. Entropy 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 2600 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.
