Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advancements in Machine Learning have led to the establishment of foundational models for vision, audio and language. These models are trained and deployed in a centralized manner, requiring vast amounts of storage and computer power as well as bandwidth. Edge devices offer an attractive alternative for both the training as well as for the inference of these large models. Federated and decentralized learning and personalized learning unlock the potential for bringing smaller and more efficient models to the edge. Additionally, personalized learning can enable the deployment of models designed to run on high-end platforms on small and resource-restricted platforms that are only able to support tinyML models.
This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring methods, tools, and algorithms that focus on Federated and Decentralized approaches for personalized learning in the realms of vision, audio, and language, emphasizing the deployment and utilization of Edge devices.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
