Improved Forecasting through Artificial Intelligence

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a new Special Issue, entitled “Improved Forecasting through Artificial Intelligence.”

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way society operates, perceives, trades, and communicates. In the last decade, researchers in AI have made paradigm-shifting progresses, thanks to increasing data availability and lower computational costs. 

This Special Issue will cover recent advances in artificial intelligence to improve the ability of analysts, businesses, organizations, and intelligence agencies to accurately predict the future. 

We welcome submissions from researchers and practitioners in the field of forecasting that use algorithmic or hybrid methods. Priority will be given to research articles that present significant advances in their field of application, rather than incremental ones. 

We especially seek submissions that advance their field with original empirical findings, new methods, or designs. We also encourage researchers to submit insightful perspectives into the future challenges that current AI approaches are facing, social and methodological roadblocks, and moral considerations on the effect that artificial forecasting systems may have on consumers, citizens, and countries.
