Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue of our journal, Electronics, focusing on the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and engineering applications. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements and practical implementations within the realms of swarm intelligence, optimization, fuzzy logic, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and reinforcement learning.

The Special Issue will concentrate on exploring innovative methodologies and algorithms within the fields of swarm intelligence, optimization, fuzzy logic, NLP, computer vision, and reinforcement learning, with a specific emphasis on their application in engineering domains.

We welcome contributions that present novel research findings, methodologies, case studies, and applications related to the aforementioned AI fields in engineering contexts. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Development of advanced AI-based optimization techniques for engineering problems.
  • Integration of fuzzy logic principles in engineering systems to enhance adaptability and decision-making.
  • Utilization of NLP for improving human–computer interaction in engineering applications.
  • Application of computer vision techniques for object recognition, image analysis, and visual perception in engineering tasks.
  • Implementation of reinforcement learning algorithms for autonomous decision-making and control in engineering systems.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for researchers to disseminate their latest findings, exchange insights, and foster collaborations in advancing the state-of-the-art in AI-driven engineering applications. By showcasing practical implementations and case studies, we aim to bridge the gap between theoretical advancements in AI and their real-world applications in engineering.

This Special Issue will complement existing literature by

  • Offering a comprehensive overview of the latest trends and advancements in AI techniques as applied to engineering problems.
  • Providing in-depth discussions and analyses of practical case studies and applications, thereby offering valuable insights into both academia and industry practitioners.
  • Stimulating further research and innovation in the field by identifying emerging challenges and potential areas for future exploration.

We encourage researchers from academia, industry, and other relevant sectors to contribute their original research articles to this Special Issue.

We eagerly anticipate your contributions to enriching this Special Issue and advancing our collective understanding of AI-driven engineering applications.

Saturated diving plays an important role in fields such as navigation operations, ocean development, military oceanography, and maritime rescue and is indispensable for the marine economy. Heliumspeech communication is an essential component of deep-sea saturated diving operations and serves as the sole means of communication in such environments. This paper presents a heliumspeech unscrambling method for saturated diving based on phonetic multi-objective optimization using deep learning. The method consists of a heliumspeech correction network and a heliumspeech unscrambling network. First, a phonetic multi-objective optimization algorithm is used to design the correction network, which reduces the demand for large heliumspeech training datasets. Then, a saturated diving working language heliumspeech corpus is used to train the heliumspeech unscrambling network. Finally, the unscrambling network processes heliumspeech using a cognitive transfer learning algorithm. During unscrambling, the network continuously converts unscrambled heliumspeech into sample data and adds them to a supervised database, forming a closed-loop control system that dynamically adjusts the network parameters to adapt to variations in heliumspeech signals. This approach not only reduces the deep learning neural network’s reliance on large training datasets but also enhances unscrambling performance, particularly under dynamically changing diving depths. Simulation experiments demonstrate that the method effectively unscrambles heliumspeech with a low word error rate and fast convergence. Full article

Edge artificial intelligence (Edge AI) requires real-time inference under stringent constraints on computation, memory, energy, and connectivity. Although training can be offloaded to servers, efficient, high-capacity inference and rapid on-device adaptation remain central challenges. Cloud-based inference offers substantial computational power but depends on connectivity, latency, privacy, and reliability conditions that edge deployments cannot always guarantee. Classical model-compression methods—including quantization, pruning, distillation, and neural architecture search—have extended the feasibility of on-device inference, yet they leave largely unchanged the fundamental cost of the linear-algebraic, sampling, and optimization primitives that dominate modern deep learning. Quantum computing has therefore been proposed as a complementary accelerator for selected AI workloads, with theoretical advantages in linear systems, singular value decomposition, sampling, kernel evaluation, and optimization. This review surveys the emerging field of quantum-accelerated AI for edge systems under a hybrid architectural premise: edge devices remain classical, while quantum processors operate as remote, cloud, MEC, or near-edge accelerators. We synthesize advances across quantum learning models, hybrid optimization methods, hardware and deployment architectures, and quantum-inspired approaches suitable for constrained devices. We also assess the practical barriers that currently separate asymptotic quantum advantage from deployable edge intelligence, including data loading, measurement overhead, noise, latency, and benchmarking gaps. Finally, we outline a staged research roadmap from near-term hybrid workflows to fault-tolerant and integrated quantum-edge architectures. Full article
