Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on “Computational Intelligence in Systems, Signals and Image Processing” highlights the role of mathematical techniques in advancing computational intelligence across various fields. As system modeling, signal processing, and image analysis become increasingly complex, rigorous mathematical methods are essential for addressing these challenges.

We welcome research focused on mathematical modeling, optimization, control, and analytical methods to improve the reliability and efficiency of these applications. Topics of interest include advanced algorithms, machine learning grounded in mathematical analysis, and optimization frameworks for real-world applications in systems, signals, and image processing.

By broadening the mathematical foundations of computational intelligence, this Special Issue aims to provide researchers and industry experts with valuable insights, linking theory with practice. We encourage contributions that address both theoretical and practical needs, supporting progress in these dynamic fields.

The goal of on-device continual learning is to enable models to adapt to streaming data without forgetting previously acquired knowledge, even with limited computational resources and memory constraints. Recent research has demonstrated that weighted regularization-based methods are constrained by indirect knowledge preservation and sensitive hyperparameter settings, and dynamic architecture methods are ill-suited for on-device environments due to increased resource consumption as the structure scales. In order to compensate for these limitations, replay-based continuous learning, which maintains a compact structure and stable performance, is gaining attention. The limitations of replay-based continuous learning are (1) the limited amount of historical training data that can be stored due to limited memory capacity, and (2) the computational resources of on-device systems are significantly lower than those of servers or cloud infrastructures. Consequently, designing strategies that balance the preservation of past knowledge with rapid and cost-effective updates of model parameters has become a critical consideration in on-device continual learning. This paper presents an empirical survey of replay-based continual learning studies, considering the nearest class mean classifier with replay-based sparse weight updates as a representative method for validating the feasibility of diverse edge devices. Our empirical comparison of standard benchmarks, including CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and TinyImageNet, deployed on devices such as Jetson Nano and Raspberry Pi, showed that the proposed representative method achieved reasonable accuracy under limited buffer sizes compared with existing replay-based techniques. A significant reduction in training time and resource consumption was observed, thereby supporting the feasibility of replay-based on-device continual learning in practice. Full article
