This book provides a comprehensive introduction to continual and reinforcement learning for edge AI, which investigates how to build an AI agent that can continuously solve new learning tasks and enhance the AI at resource-limited edge devices. The authors introduce readers to practical frameworks and in-depth algorithmic foundations. The book surveys the recent advances in the area, coming from both academic researchers and industry professionals. The authors also present their own research findings on continual and reinforcement learning for edge AI. The book also covers the practical applications of the topic and identifies exciting future research opportunities.

This book conducts a comprehensive and detailed survey of the recent research efforts in edge intelligence. The authors first review the background and present motivation for AI running at the network edge. The book then provides an overview of the overarching architectures, frameworks, and emerging key technologies for deep learning models toward training/inference at the network edge. To illustrate the research problems for edge intelligence, the book also showcases four of the authors' own research projects on edge intelligence, ranging from rigorous theoretical analysis to studies based on realistic implementation. This second edition incorporates the latest research in this rapidly developing area. The authors also highlight the current applications and future research opportunities for edge intelligence.
