AI-Driven Methods for Chemometric Spectroscopy: Algorithms and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics with spectroscopic sensing has opened up new frontiers in chemical and material analysis. Traditional chemometric approaches often face limitations when dealing with high-dimensional, nonlinear, and noisy spectral data. Emerging AI-driven methods, including deep learning, transfer learning, and interpretable machine learning, offer powerful tools for extracting meaningful patterns, enhancing model robustness, and enabling real-time decision-making in complex sensing environments.

This Special Issue invites original research and review articles focused on the development and application of intelligent algorithms for chemometric spectroscopy. Topics of interest include AI-based spectral preprocessing, regression and classification models, feature extraction, anomaly detection, and data fusion from multi-modal or multi-sensor platforms. We particularly welcome contributions demonstrating real-world applications in fields such as environmental monitoring, food quality, healthcare, process control, and portable sensing systems.

By bridging AI and spectroscopic chemometrics, this Special Issue will provide a forum for advancing next-generation intelligent sensing technologies and data-driven analytical frameworks.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Sensors 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.
