Machine Learning From Distributed, Streaming Data [From the Guest Editors]

The articles in this special section focus on machine learning from distributed, streaming media. The field of machine learning has undergone radical transformations during the last decade. These transformations, which have been fueled by our ability to collect and generate tremendous volumes of training data and leverage massive amounts of lowcost computing power, have led to an explosion in research activity in the field by academic and industrial researchers. Discusses the fields that are adopting machine learning and reports on applications for their use.
