Journal: Electronics Electronics is indexed in the Journal Citation Report with an impact factor of 2.412 (Q2) among other indexes: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/electronics/indexing Special Issue on Machine Learning for E-Services Deadine: June 15, 2021 https://www.mdpi.com/journal/electronics/special_issues/ML_EServices Special Issue Information Machine learning is a discipline within computer science that went through massive growth in the past several years. Through a series of mathematical algorithms, together with the increasing availability of data and computational power, a machine learning system can make accurate predictions based on existing data. In addition to the development of new algorithms or the fine-tuning of existing ones, many researchers identified a huge potential in the application of machine learning methods to solve relevant problems. One of the most promising application fields is ‘e-services’, that is, the provision of traditional services through an online Internet-based channel. This Special Issue will address the most recent advances in the introduction of machine learning techniques to improve and personalize e-services. Thus, contributions are expected to present original research on machine learning with real-world applications in e-services. Topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to the following: * New machine learning algorithms for e-services. * Benchmarking of machine learning alternatives in e-services. * Adaptation and fine-tuning of machine learning in specific e-services domains. * Machine learning in e-learning. * Machine learning in e-health. * Machine learning in e-government. * Machine learning in e-commerce. * Machine learning in e-Business. * Machine learning in e-security. * Machine learning in social networks. * Machine learning in marketing. * Machine learning for the development and deployment of e-services on cloud computing scenarios.
