Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on "Machine Learning and Data Mining: Innovations in Big Data Analytics" aims to explore the latest advancements and applications of machine learning and data mining techniques in the context of big data. As the volume, variety, and velocity of data continue to grow exponentially, there is a pressing need for innovative methods to extract meaningful insights and knowledge from large datasets. This Special Issue will bring together researchers and practitioners to present cutting-edge approaches, share experiences, and discuss future trends in this rapidly evolving field.

Contributions to this Special Issue should address theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects of machine learning and data mining as they relate to big data analytics. We welcome high-quality research papers, comprehensive reviews, and insightful case studies that highlight new challenges, propose novel solutions, and demonstrate successful applications in various domains such as healthcare, finance, social media, and more.

Topics of interest include the following:

  • Advanced machine learning algorithms for big data;
  • Scalable data mining techniques;
  • Deep learning and its applications in big data analytics;
  • Real-time data processing and analytics;
  • Predictive modeling and forecasting with big data;
  • Anomaly detection and pattern recognition in large datasets;
  • Big data visualization and interpretation;
  • Applications of machine learning and data mining in healthcare, finance, social media, etc.;
  • Ethical and privacy considerations in big data analytics;
  • Tools and frameworks for big data processing.

This Special Issue aims to be a comprehensive resource for those looking to stay at the forefront of machine learning and data mining with respect to big data applications. By bringing together diverse perspectives and pioneering research, we hope to foster a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities in this exciting field.

Innovations in IT Recruitment: How Data Mining Is Redefining the Search for Best Talent (A Case Study of IT Recruitment in Morocco)

The massive volumes of data and the intensification of digital transformation are reshaping recruitment practices within organizations, particularly for specialized information technology (IT) profiles. However, existing studies have often remained conceptual, focused on developed economies, or limited to a narrow set of factors, thereby leaving important gaps in emerging contexts. Moreover, there are few studies that critically assess how Data Mining is impacting the IT recruitment process, and none that assess this in the context of Morocco. This study employs an extensive literature review to explore the role of Data Mining in facilitating the recruitment of top IT candidates, focusing on its ability to improve selection quality, reduce costs, and optimize decision-making procedures. The study provides empirical evidence from the Moroccan aeronautical and digital services sectors, an underexplored context where IT talent scarcity and rapid technological change pose critical challenges. Primary data comes from a survey of 200 IT recruitment professionals operating in these sectors in Morocco, allowing an assessment of the impact of Data Mining on IT talent acquisition initiatives. The findings reveal that a range of capabilities resulting from the application of Data Mining significantly and positively influences the success of IT recruitment processes. The novelty of the article lies in integrating six key determinants of algorithmic recruitment into a unified framework and demonstrating their empirical significance through binary logistic regression. The focus on the Moroccan context adds value to the international discussion and extends the literature on HR analytics beyond its conventional geographical and theoretical boundaries. The article thus contributes to the emerging literature on the role of digital technologies in IT recruitment that will be of interest to industry practitioners and other researchers in this field.
