Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Deep Learning (DL) is a fast-growing area with a potentially enormous and transformative impact. However, alongside this explosive growth, the efficiency and limitations of deep learning raise profound questions in statistics, probability, optimization, harmonic analysis, geometry, and scientific computing. The underlying mathematics remain mostly not understood, limiting the robustness and validation of applications in critical domains such as autonomous driving, medicine, or hard sciences. 

As a data-driven approach, deep learning is built upon the pillars of mathematics and statistics, while there is currently no satisfactorily rigorous mathematical theory for the setup, training, and application performance of deep neural networks. To unlock the next generation of DL, it is important to address both the theoretical development for explainable DL as well as the algorithmic development for trustworthy DL. These will then be linked to the development of DL in a number of key application areas, including image processing, partial differential equations, and AI for science problems.

The main aim of this Special Issue is an interlocked set of theory, modeling, data, and computation. We seek original contributions that discuss the mathematical foundations of the success of recent DL frameworks or highlight emerging applications in mathematics in deep 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. 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.

We present a hybrid approach for generating a character by independently controlling its shape and texture using an input face and a styled face. To effectively produce the shape of a character, we propose an anthropometry-based approach that defines and extracts 37 explicit facial features. The shape of a character’s face is generated by extracting these explicit facial features from both faces and matching their corresponding features, which enables the synthesis of the shape with different poses and scales. We control this shape generation process by manipulating the features of the input and styled faces. For the style of the character, we devise a warping field-based style transfer method using the features of the character’s face. This method allows an effective application of style while maintaining the character’s shape and minimizing artifacts. Our approach yields visually pleasing results from various combinations of input and styled faces. Full article
