Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite research papers for publication in a special issue of the Sustainability journal (for the section on Economic and Business Aspects of Sustainability) on “Machine Learning Applications in Business.” Many problems in business apply machine learning algorithms to find good solutions. Businesses face problems in many domains including supply-chain management, logistics management, inventory management, transportation management, quality management, financial management, sales and marketing management, managerial accounting management etc. Machine learning techniques include Neural Networks (Supervised, Unsupervised, Semi-supervised, Hybrid), Deep Learning, Inductive learning, Deductive learning, Ensemble learning, Genetic Algorithms, NeuroGenetic algorithms, Support Vector Machines, decision trees etc. These techniques can be applied to a variety of tasks such as classification, clustering, optimization, curve fitting, text processing, image processing etc. in many different domains in business. Articles selected for publication must demonstrate successful application of some machine learning approach on some business problem. Preference will be given to an application that involves sustainability issues.
