Graph Machine Learning and Complex Networks
This special issue belongs to the section “Big Data and Augmented Intelligence“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, two major research challenges are machine/deep learning and complex networks and both have inter-disciplinary characteristics. Graph machine learning is a novel branch of machine learning that deals with graph-based data to design from expertise, whereas complex networks permit the modeling of large systems through a graph exploiting its formal nature.
Machine and deep learning both assist with a wide range of problems in different areas whilst complex networks are able to model a lot of practical settings, including engineering, neuroscience, social networks, geoscience, economics, etc.
Since complex networks and graph machine learning are closely related, this Special Issue focus on method, strategies, and techniques based on graph machine learning applied to networks to leverage the performance of graph machine learning techniques with high efficiency.

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. Future Internet 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 1600 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.
