Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the mathematical foundations of data science have undergone a rapid evolution, driven by demands for scalable algorithms, rigorous uncertainty quantification, and robust inference in high-dimensional settings.

This Special Issue seeks original research and survey articles that advance the mathematical underpinnings of data science. We invite contributions on the following topics: 

- Algorithmic innovations in randomized algorithms for matrices and tensors and optimization methods for large-scale learning. 

- Uncertainty quantification frameworks for data-driven models, including Bayesian methods and robust statistics. 

- Topological and geometric data analysis, covering persistent homology, manifold learning, and graph-based techniques. 

- Applications that demonstrate the impact of these methods in science, engineering, and healthcare.

Dr. Célio Fernandes

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. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
