IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control
Special Issue on Learning and Control
Deadline: May 1, 2021
Special Issue Scope: Over the past two decades, advances in computing and communications have resulted in the creation, transmission and storage of data from all sectors of society. Over the next decade, the biggest generator of data is expected to be Internet-of-Things devices which sense and control the physical world. This explosion of data requires a rapprochement of areas such as machine learning, control theory, and optimization. The availability and scale of data, both temporal and spatial, brings a wonderful opportunity for our community to both advance the theory of control systems in a more data-driven fashion, as well as have a broader industrial and societal impact.
There are various challenges on the interface between the control community and the machine learning community. The aim of this special issue is to bring together some of the significant developments on the interface between machine learning, dynamics, and control systems. Our special issue welcomes both regular papers and technical notes on topics that include but are not limited to:
• Foundations of learning of dynamics models
• System identification
• Episodic learning, online learning, and adaptive control
• Optimization for machine learning
• Data-driven optimization for dynamical systems
• Distributed learning over distributed systems
• Reinforcement learning for physical systems
• Safe reinforcement learning and safe adaptive control
• Statistical learning for dynamical and control systems
• Bridging model-based and learning-based dynamical and control systems
• Robustness of data-driven and learning-based control systems
• Physics-constrained learning
• Physical learning in dynamical and control systems applications in robotics, autonomy, transportation systems, cognitive systems, neuroscience, etc.
