Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of data science has led to an increasing need for robust mathematical frameworks to tackle the complex challenges posed by large-scale data analysis. This Special Issue aims to explore how mathematical theories can be applied to enhance various aspects of data science, including machine learning, statistical modeling, data mining, and artificial intelligence (AI). We seek contributions that demonstrate how mathematical approaches can improve key processes such as data preprocessing, feature extraction, model development, and performance evaluation.
The Special Issue will also explore the role of mathematics in ensuring the security, privacy, and robustness of data-driven systems. As AI models and data applications are increasingly deployed in sensitive areas, ensuring the integrity and reliability of these systems is crucial. Contributions that address the mathematical foundations behind secure data processing, model transparency, and the mitigation of adversarial risks are highly encouraged.
By bringing together insights from mathematics and data science, this Special Issue will provide a platform for advancing the state of the art in developing more accurate, efficient, and secure data-driven technologies. We invite researchers to share innovative solutions that tackle real-world challenges in both academic and industrial settings.

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.
