Apologies for cross-posting,

A special issue of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine will be
dedicated to New Trends of Learning in Computational Intelligence. Prospective
authors are invited to submit their original unpublished research and
application contributions. Comprehensive tutorial and survey papers can also be
considered for this special issue.

RATIONALE
Over the past few decades, conventional computational intelligence techniques
faced severe bottlenecks in terms of algorithmic learning. Particularly, in
areas of big data computation, brain science, cognition and reasoning, it is
almost inevitable that intensive human intervention and time consuming trial and
error efforts need to be employed before any meaningful observations can be
obtained. The recent development of emerging computational intelligence
techniques such as extreme learning machines (ELM) and fast solutions shed some
light upon how to effectively deal with these computational bottlenecks. Based
on the observations that increasing correlation can be found among apparently
different theories from different fields, as well as the increasing evidence of
convergence between computational intelligence techniques and biological
learning mechanisms, this special issue seeks to promote novel research
investigations in computational intelligence bridging among related areas.
