Novel convolutional neural networks for efficient classification of rotated and scaled images

Recent advances on effective and efficient deep learning-based solutions

This editorial briefly analyses, describes, and provides a short summary of a set of selected papers published in a special issue focused on deep learning methods and architectures and their application to several domains and research areas. The set of selected and published articles covers several aspects related to two basic aspects in deep learning (DL) methods, efficiency of the models and effectiveness of the architectures These papers revolve around different interesting application domains such as health (e.g. cancer, polyps, melanoma, mental health), wearable technologies solar irradiance, social networks, cloud computing, wind turbines, object detection, music, and electricity, among others. This editorial provides a short description of each published article and a brief analysis of their main contributions.
