Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computational intelligence and nature-inspired computing generally deal with the theory, design, application and development of biologically and linguistically motivated computational paradigms. Moreover, over the past few decades, computational intelligence and nature-inspired computing research have provided a handy and comprehensive tool for solving complex real-world optimization problems by mimicking nature-inspired processes and artificial models such as swarm intelligence, artificial immune systems, membrane computing, cognitive computing and neural and evolutionary computations.
In this Special Issue, we aim to promote discussions around recent efforts and advances in applying computational intelligence and nature-inspired computing approaches to practical optimization problems in data analytics research relating to discovering, interpreting and communicating meaningful patterns in big data. Specific areas of interest include novel technical contributions focusing on: large language models (such as GPT: generative pre-trained transformer 3 & 4 and BERT: bidirectional encoder representations from transformers); extreme learning machines; predictive maintenance machine learning; logistics and delivery; unmanned aerial vehicle; autopilot and self-driving vehicles; renewable energy; fraud detection; drug design; security; marketing and digital advertising; etc. We also encourage submissions that explore the presentation of solid mathematical theory or proof to address the advancement of computational intelligence algorithms' performance superiority assertions from data analytics perspectives.

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.
