Industrial systems produce vast sensor-generated datasets that strain computational resources. Advanced machine learning techniques including transfer learning, federated learning, quantum machine learning, and reinforcement learning provide scalable solutions for handling large data volumes and enabling informed decision-making. Recent applications of these techniques to system reliability management encompass fault diagnosis, health assessment, remaining useful life prediction, degradation analysis, and maintenance optimization. This special issue seeks original research papers, reviews, and case studies exploring these emerging applications.
