This special issue of Neurocomputing presents 16 original articles (one of them being a tutorial selected from a special session) that are extended versions of selected papers from the 30th European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning (ESANN 2022), a major event for researchers in the field of artificial neural networks and related topics. This single-track conference is held annually in Bruges, Belgium, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most beautiful medieval city centres in Europe. It is jointly organized by UCLouvain (Louvain-la-Neuve) and KULeuven (Leuven), and it is steered by Prof. Michel Verleysen from UCLouvain. In addition to regular sessions, the conference regularly welcomes special sessions organized by renowned scientists in their respective fields. These sessions focus on specific methodological aspects (e.g., continual learning, anomaly and change point detection, deep semantic segmentation models in computer vision, deep learning for graphs) and applications (e.g., machine learning and information-theoretic methods for molecular biology and medicine).
