Algorithms
Special Issue on "Humanistic Data Mining: Tools and Applications"
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/Humanistic_Data_Mining_Tools_Applications
**Submission Deadline: October 31, 2018 (extended)**
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Digital data mining could be described as one of the most
important, computationally intensive and challenging tasks of our
era. As this observation applies both to the research community,
which is faced with enormous challenges derived from (big-)data
management as well as new emerging disciplines like, for instance,
precision agriculture, and the applied world, in terms, for
instance, of social data handling and related social apps, it is
becoming evident that new approaches have to be followed and new
tools and applications have to invented in order to efficiently
handle the vast amounts of information.
The aim of the “Mining Humanistic Data Workshop�, and by
association of the proposed Special Issue, is formed around two
main pillars. The first pillar focuses on the primitive
information and knowledge analysis, as well as the extraction of
the inherited knowledge. The task here is to achieve a better
understanding of human activities associated to the respective
computational tasks. The second pillar aims to exploit the
extracted knowledge by incorporating it into smart tools and
applications; the latter will ultimately make the life of involved
users easier with respect to their everyday life.
This Special Issue aims to bring together interdisciplinary
approaches that focus on the application of innovative as well as
existing humanistic data mining and knowledge discovery and
management methodologies. Since humanistic data typically are
dominated by semantic heterogeneity and are quite dynamic in
nature, computer science researchers are obliged and encouraged to
develop new suitable algorithms, tools and applications to
efficiently tackle them, whereas existing ones need to be adapted
to the individual special characteristics using traditional
methodologies, such as decision rules, decision trees, association
rules, ontologies and alignments, clustering, filtering, learning,
classifier systems, neural networks, support vector machines,
preprocessing, post processing, feature selection and
visualization techniques. The Special Issue is devoted to the
exploitation of the multiple facets of the above research fields
and will explore the current related state-of-the-a!
rt. Its topics of interest cover the scope of the MHDW workshop
series (
https://conferences.cwa.gr/mhdw2018/). Extended versions
of papers presented at MHDW 2018 are sought, but this Call for
Papers is also fully open to all who want to contribute by
submitting a relevant research manuscript.
--------------

-----------------
Papers submission
-----------------
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 papers will be
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.
Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly
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 850 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.
