[DMANET] Call for Papers: Special Issue on Entropy-Guided Evolutionary Intelligence (MDPI Entropy)

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute your latest research to a
Special Issue of the journal *Entropy* (ISSN 1099-4300, IF 2.5) entitled:

*"Entropy-Guided Evolutionary Intelligence: Information Dynamics for
Adaptive and Explainable Machine Learning"*

*Overview:* While gradient-based ML has seen massive success, it often
struggles with non-differentiable or dynamic environments. Evolutionary
Artificial Intelligence (EvoAI) provides a biological alternative, but
often lacks principled ways to control uncertainty. This Special Issue
explores how information theory—specifically entropy—can act as a
regulatory principle to govern diversity, convergence, and transparency in
evolutionary processes.

*Scope includes (but is not limited to):*

-

Entropy-based fitness and objective functions.
-

Information-regulated mutation, recombination, and selection.
-

Entropy-driven neuroevolution and hybrid frameworks.
-

Uncertainty quantification and explainability (XAI).
-

Applications in complex, high-dimensional domains.

We encourage you to submit your original research or comprehensive review
papers. Should you have any questions regarding the suitability of a topic,
please feel free to reach out.

Best regards,

Dr. Diego Oliva
Prof. Dr. Marco Pérez-Cisneros
