Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The acquisition of biomedical data happens in a broad range of formats and a wide range of application settings and can range from unstructured text notes to structured data records and biomedical sensor signals, either as 1D signals, 2D images or 3D volumes, or even higher dimensional data such as temporal 3D sequences. This massive amount of heterogenous data needs to be processed in an appropriate way so that useful information and knowledge can be extracted and used to provide automatic, computer-based decision support systems.
In this Special Issue, contributions are solicited from researchers and practitioners on recent advances in algorithms and applications that involve fusing or combining medical information from multiple sources, and intelligent processing of this information based on innovative machine learning, deep learning and AI approaches, and their implementations in different biomedical computing application settings.
Topics for this Special Issue include (but are not limited to):
- Information fusion of structured and unstructured data for biomedical systems;
- Machine learning and deep learning for biomedical image data;
- Multisensor, multimodal, and multiview learning;
- Combining multiple sources and models for biomedical data;
- Early, feature and late fusion for biomedical data;
- Hierarchical models and architectures for biomedical fusion systems;
- Joint feature learning and cross modal learning.

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. 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 1600 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.
