SPECIAL SESSION 1: Big Data Analytics for Misinformation and Sustainability Governance

With the rapid expansion of digital platforms and the increasing emphasis on sustainability and ESG governance, industrial systems are facing growing challenges related to misinformation, counterfeit products, greenwashing, and unreliable carbon emission disclosure. These issues often arise from complex interactions between structured numerical indicators and unstructured textual information, such as online reviews, product descriptions, corporate news, and ESG reports.

Recent advances in big data analytics including machine learning, deep learning and multimodal data integration provide new opportunities to address these challenges. In particular, explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) has emerged as a critical approach for enhancing model transparency, interpretability, and trustworthiness in high-stakes decision-making contexts.

This special session aims to provide a focused forum for presenting theoretical advances, methodological innovations, and applied studies on big data analytics, explainable and multimodal AI techniques for ESG risk analysis, misinformation detection, and sustainability-oriented decision support. Contributions that demonstrate practical relevance to industrial applications, regulatory assessment, and supply chain governance are especially encouraged.

Topics covered include (but are not limited to):

  • Big data analytics for industrial and sustainability
  • Explainable AI (XAI) methods for industrial and sustainability applications
  • Multimodal learning integrating numerical, textual, and behavioral data
  • Greenwashing detection and ESG disclosure analytics
  • Corporate carbon emission modeling and prediction
  • Misinformation and counterfeit detection in e-commerce platforms
  • Text mining and NLP for ESG reports, corporate news, and online reviews
  • AI-driven decision support for sustainability governance and compliance
  • Supply chain risk analytics and integrity management
  • Interpretable machine learning for policy, regulatory, and managerial use
