Signal processing, communications, and control have traditionally relied on classical statistical modeling techniques. Such model-based methods utilize mathematical formulations that represent the underlying physics, prior information and additional domain knowledge. Simple classical models are useful but sensitive to inaccuracies and may lead to poor performance when real systems display complex or dynamic behavior. On the other hand, purely data-driven approaches that are model-agnostic are becoming increasingly popular as datasets become abundant and the power of modern deep learning pipelines increases. Deep neural networks (DNNs) use generic architectures which learn to operate from data, and demonstrate excellent performance, especially for supervised problems. However, DNNs typically require massive amounts of data and immense computational resources, limiting their applicability for some signal processing scenarios. We are interested in hybrid techniques that combine principled mathematical models with data-driven systems to benefit from the advantages of both approaches. Such model-based deep learning methods exploit both partial domain knowledge, via mathematical structures designed for specific problems, as well as learning from limited data. In this article we survey the leading approaches for studying and designing model-based deep learning systems. We divide hybrid model-based/data-driven systems into categories based on their inference mechanism. We provide a comprehensive review of the leading approaches for combining model-based algorithms with deep learning in a systematic manner, along with concrete guidelines and detailed signal processing oriented examples from recent literature. Our aim is to facilitate the design and study of future systems on the intersection of signal processing and machine learning that incorporate the advantages of both domains.

Place recognition is the fundamental module that can assist Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) in loop-closure detection and re-localization for long-term navigation. The place recognition community has made astonishing progress over the last $20$ years, and this has attracted widespread research interest and application in multiple fields such as computer vision and robotics. However, few methods have shown promising place recognition performance in complex real-world scenarios, where long-term and large-scale appearance changes usually result in failures. Additionally, there is a lack of an integrated framework amongst the state-of-the-art methods that can handle all of the challenges in place recognition, which include appearance changes, viewpoint differences, robustness to unknown areas, and efficiency in real-world applications. In this work, we survey the state-of-the-art methods that target long-term localization and discuss future directions and opportunities. We start by investigating the formulation of place recognition in long-term autonomy and the major challenges in real-world environments. We then review the recent works in place recognition for different sensor modalities and current strategies for dealing with various place recognition challenges. Finally, we review the existing datasets for long-term localization and introduce our datasets and evaluation API for different approaches. This paper can be a tutorial for researchers new to the place recognition community and those who care about long-term robotics autonomy. We also provide our opinion on the frequently asked question in robotics: Do robots need accurate localization for long-term autonomy? A summary of this work and our datasets and evaluation API is publicly available to the robotics community at: https://github.com/MetaSLAM/GPRS.

The rapid progress in digitalization and automation have led to an accelerated growth in healthcare, generating novel models that are creating new channels for rendering treatment with reduced cost. The Metaverse is an emerging technology in the digital space which has huge potential in healthcare, enabling realistic experiences to the patients as well as the medical practitioners. The Metaverse is a confluence of multiple enabling technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, internet of medical devices, robotics, quantum computing, etc. through which new directions for providing quality healthcare treatment and services can be explored. The amalgamation of these technologies ensures immersive, intimate and personalized patient care.

Continual learning aims to learn a sequence of tasks by leveraging the knowledge acquired in the past in an online-learning manner while being able to perform well on all previous tasks, this ability is crucial to the artificial intelligence (AI) system, hence continual learning is more suitable for most real-word and complex applicative scenarios compared to the traditional learning pattern. However, the current models usually learn a generic representation base on the class label on each task and an effective strategy is selected to avoid catastrophic forgetting. We postulate that selecting the related and useful parts only from the knowledge obtained to perform each task is more effective than utilizing the whole knowledge. Based on this fact, in this paper we propose a new framework, named Selecting Related Knowledge for Online Continual Learning (SRKOCL), which incorporates an additional efficient channel attention mechanism to pick the particular related knowledge for every task. Our model also combines experience replay and knowledge distillation to circumvent the catastrophic forgetting. Finally, extensive experiments are conducted on different benchmarks and the competitive experimental results demonstrate that our proposed SRKOCL is a promised approach against the state-of-the-art.

Nevertheless, the performance degradation on OOD test sets remains a salient problem (Shao et al., 2020). One observation This work tackles a central machine learning is that the current approach introduces a nearly ideal problem of performance degradation on out-ofdistribution scenario for DNN to learn spurious shortcuts or non-relevant (OOD) test sets. The problem is particularly features (Geirhos et al., 2020) that do not exist in OOD test salient in medical imaging based diagnosis sets. In medical imaging systems, the problem becomes system that appears to be accurate but fails even more salient due to the significant distribution shift when tested in new hospitals/datasets. Recent between imaging data sets acquired from different hospitals, studies indicate the system might learn shortcut populations, and time periods. As a result, the AI imaging and non-relevant features instead of generalizable system that is seemingly effective on training sets often does features, so-called'good features'. We hypothesize not generalize well to new hospitals or data sets (DeGrave that adversarial training can eliminate shortcut et al., 2021). Fortunately, in the relatively closed medical features whereas saliency guided training can imaging environment, we are not so much concerned about filter out non-relevant features; both are nuisance adversarial OOD test sets. Instead, we consider how to features accounting for the performance degradation leverage adversarial IID data sets for learning good features.
