Special Issues

Special Issue on Positive Noise Learning Submission Date: 2026-06-15 Noise is an emerging and popular keyword in recent years. The noise-based models have attracted more and more attention in the artificial intelligence community, including but not limited to random forest, dropout in neural networks (a kind of structural positive noise), generative adversarial networks, adversarial training, noisy augmentation, positive-incentive noise, diffusion models, and flow matching models. Although most of these models don’t explicitly claim that they aim to learn noise, they actually utilize the positive noise implicitly. In many current studies, it is pointed out that noise can also be beneficial to large models. Therefore, noise should not be simply regarded as a harmful component any more. The positivity of noise deserves more systematic studies. Although there are plenty of noise-related models, scientific studies of beneficial noise learning are still lacking to some extent. Most of these noise-based models just use positive noise in a heuristic way. This Special Issue calls for papers that study several attractive, natural, and urgent questions: (1) how a model learns the positive noise in a controllable manner; (2) what kind of noise will be beneficial to specific models/tasks; (3) the theoretical bound of positive noise.

Special Issue on Neural Dynamics in Intelligent Computing and Applications Submission Date: 2026-10-30 In recent decades, neural dynamics has emerged as a fundamental mechanism for understanding and enhancing intelligent computing, offering powerful tools for modeling, prediction, optimization, and adaptive decision-making. With the rapid growth of computational resources and the increasing complexity of real-world tasks, neural dynamics has found wide-ranging applications in domains such as autonomous systems, healthcare, financial technology, robotics, and smart manufacturing. By capturing the temporal evolution of neural states and interactions, neural dynamics provides adaptive, data-driven solutions with strong nonlinear modeling and representation capabilities, enabling intelligent systems to achieve improved accuracy, robustness, and generalization in dynamic and uncertain environments. Neural dynamics emphasizes the time-varying processes, feedback mechanisms, and emergent behaviors of neural systems, thereby offering a novel perspective on learning, adaptation, and control. The integration of neural dynamics with control theory, optimization, reinforcement learning, and neuromorphic computing has opened up new research frontiers, such as interpretable dynamic modeling, safe and robust decision-making under uncertainty, and real-time adaptive control in rapidly changing environments. Given the significant progress and growing body of research in this area, this Special Issue now specifically invites survey/review articles that comprehensively summarize and critically evaluate recent advances in neural dynamics for intelligent computing. Survey/review papers should provide insightful syntheses of existing work, identify key challenges and emerging trends, and propose future research directions. The aim of this Special Issue is to gather high-quality survey/review articles that survey the latest developments in neural dynamics, with particular emphasis on theoretical foundations, innovative modeling approaches, algorithmic design, and applications in emerging technologies. We encourage contributions that explore the integration of neural dynamics with control systems, robotics, natural language processing, and real-time decision-making in complex environments from a survey/review perspective.
