Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, we invite submissions from the international research community covering two lines of research:
- Papers on fundamental human-centered AI (methodological, theoretical, …);
- Application papers in all fields of daily life, ranging from agriculture to zoology.
The use of AI in domains that are important to human life (agriculture, forestry, climate, health, zoology, etc.) has led to an increased need for trustworthy AI with two main components: explainability and robustness. One step in making AI more robust is to leverage expert knowledge. For example, a forester-in-the-loop can often bring experience and conceptual understanding to the AI pipeline. Human-centered AI (HCAI) is therefore a synthesis of "artificial intelligence" and "natural intelligence" that can strengthen, enhance, and complement human performance rather than replace it.
For certain tasks, AI/machine learning algorithms achieve performance that exceeds human levels. The challenge is to use multimodal information fusion to integrate data from different sources (sensor data, images, *omics, satellite, and airborne imagery, etc.) and explain why a certain result was obtained. However, machine learning models are often sensitive to small changes, and perturbations can have dramatic effects on the outcome.

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 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. Machine Learning and Knowledge Extraction is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1400 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.
