Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Graph databases, knowledge graphs, and natural language processing are pivotal technologies in data-intensive fields. They integrate graph theory, semantic understanding, and machine learning to provide powerful tools for modeling, storing, and analyzing complex data relationships. These technologies have demonstrated immense potential across various application scenarios, including search engine optimization, recommendation systems, medical data analysis, automated question-answering, knowledge reasoning, and knowledge management. Graph databases and knowledge graphs facilitate the extraction, storage, and utilization of valuable knowledge from unstructured and semi-structured data by representing entities and their relationships. Combining this data representation with NLP techniques offers new possibilities for in-depth understanding and reasoning of textual data. The automatic construction and expansion of knowledge graphs from natural language texts through NLP models make the discovery, retrieval, and questioning of knowledge more intelligent and efficient.

This Special Issue collects papers with the aim of compiling the latest research findings on graph databases, knowledge graphs, and natural language processing. Special attention is devoted to the theory and application of graph databases, the construction and application of knowledge graphs, and the integration of natural language processing with graph technologies. The topics encompass theories, methods, and applications in natural language processing, text mining, information extraction, question answering, text generation, language models, knowledge graphs/bases, knowledge representation learning, knowledge augmentation, graph datasets, and graph computation.

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.
