Support Vector Machines (SVM) have gathered significant acclaim as classifiers due to their successful implementation of Statistical Learning Theory. However, in the context of multiclass and multilabel settings, the reliance on vector-based formulations in existing SVM-based models poses limitations regarding flexibility and ease of incorporating additional terms to handle specific challenges. To overcome these limitations, our research paper focuses on introducing a matrix formulation for SVM that effectively addresses these constraints. By employing the Accelerated Gradient Descent method in the dual, we notably enhance the efficiency of solving the Matrix-SVM problem. Experimental evaluations on multilabel and multiclass datasets demonstrate that Matrix SVM achieves superior time efficacy while delivering similar results to Binary Relevance SVM. Moreover, our matrix formulation unveils crucial insights and advantages that may not be readily apparent in traditional vector-based notations. We emphasize that numerous multilabel models can be viewed as extensions of SVM, with customised modifications to meet specific requirements. The matrix formulation presented in this paper establishes a solid foundation for developing more sophisticated models capable of effectively addressing the distinctive challenges encountered in multilabel learning.

As an efficient distributed machine learning approach, Federated learning (FL) can obtain a shared model by iterative local model training at the user side and global model aggregating at the central server side, thereby protecting privacy of users. Mobile users in FL systems typically communicate with base stations (BSs) via wireless channels, where training performance could be degraded due to unreliable access caused by user mobility. However, existing work only investigates a static scenario or random initialization of user locations, which fail to capture mobility in real-world networks. To tackle this issue, we propose a practical model for user mobility in FL across multiple BSs, and develop a user scheduling and resource allocation method to minimize the training delay with constrained communication resources. Specifically, we first formulate an optimization problem with user mobility that jointly considers user selection, BS assignment to users, and bandwidth allocation to minimize the latency in each communication round. This optimization problem turned out to be NP-hard and we proposed a delay-aware greedy search algorithm (DAGSA) to solve it. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves better performance than the state-of-the-art baselines and a certain level of user mobility could improve training performance.

Neural networks have achieved remarkable performance in various application domains. Nevertheless, a large number of weights in pre-trained deep neural networks prohibit them from being deployed on smartphones and embedded systems. It is highly desirable to obtain lightweight versions of neural networks for inference in edge devices. Many cost-effective approaches were proposed to prune dense and convolutional layers that are common in deep neural networks and dominant in the parameter space. However, a unified theoretical foundation for the problem mostly is missing. In this paper, we identify the close connection between matrix spectrum learning and neural network training for dense and convolutional layers and argue that weight pruning is essentially a matrix sparsification process to preserve the spectrum. Based on the analysis, we also propose a matrix sparsification algorithm tailored for neural network pruning that yields better pruning result. We carefully design and conduct experiments to support our arguments. Hence we provide a consolidated viewpoint for neural network pruning and enhance the interpretability of deep neural networks by identifying and preserving the critical neural weights.

In biomedical studies, longitudinal processes are collected till time-to-event, sometimes on nested timescales (example, days within months). Most of the literature in joint modeling of longitudinal and time-to-event data has focused on modeling the mean or dispersion of the longitudinal process with the hazard for time-to-event. However, based on the motivating studies, it may be of interest to investigate how the cycle-level {\it geometric features} (such as the curvature, location and height of a peak), of a cyclical longitudinal process is associated with the time-to-event being studied. We propose a shared parameter joint model for a cyclical longitudinal process and a discrete survival time, measured on nested timescales, where the cycle-varying geometric feature is modeled through a linear mixed effects model and a proportional hazards model for the discrete survival time. The proposed approach allows for prediction of survival probabilities for future subjects based on their available longitudinal measurements. Our proposed model and approach is illustrated through simulation and analysis of Stress and Time-to-Pregnancy, a component of Oxford Conception Study. A joint modeling approach was used to assess whether the cycle-specific geometric features of the lutenizing hormone measurements, such as its peak or its curvature, are associated with time-to-pregnancy (TTP).

Large scientific collaborations often share huge volumes of data around the world. Consequently a significant amount of network bandwidth is needed for data replication and data access. Users in the same region may possibly share resources as well as data, especially when they are working on related topics with similar datasets. In this work, we study the network traffic patterns and resource utilization for scientific data caches connecting European networks to the US. We explore the efficiency of resource utilization, especially for network traffic which consists mostly of transatlantic data transfers, and the potential for having more caching node deployments. Our study shows that these data caches reduced network traffic volume by 97% during the study period. This demonstrates that such caching nodes are effective in reducing wide-area network traffic.

This paper introduces a dual-based algorithm framework for solving the regularized online resource allocation problems, which have potentially non-concave cumulative rewards, hard resource constraints, and a non-separable regularizer. Under a strategy of adaptively updating the resource constraints, the proposed framework only requests approximate solutions to the empirical dual problems up to a certain accuracy and yet delivers an optimal logarithmic regret under a locally second-order growth condition. Surprisingly, a delicate analysis of the dual objective function enables us to eliminate the notorious log-log factor in regret bound. The flexible framework renders renowned and computationally fast algorithms immediately applicable, e.g., dual stochastic gradient descent. Additionally, an infrequent re-solving scheme is proposed, which significantly reduces computational demands without compromising the optimal regret performance. A worst-case square-root regret lower bound is established if the resource constraints are not adaptively updated during dual optimization, which underscores the critical role of adaptive dual variable update. Comprehensive numerical experiments demonstrate the merits of the proposed algorithm framework.

Short-packet communication (SPC) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are anticipated to play crucial roles in the development of 5G-and-beyond wireless networks and the Internet of Things (IoT). In this paper, we propose a secure SPC system, where a UAV serves as a mobile decode-and-forward (DF) relay, periodically receiving and relaying small data packets from a remote IoT device to its receiver in two hops with strict latency requirements, in the presence of an eavesdropper. This system requires careful optimization of important design parameters, such as the coding blocklengths of both hops, transmit powers, and UAV's trajectory. While the overall optimization problem is nonconvex, we tackle it by applying a block successive convex approximation (BSCA) approach to divide the original problem into three subproblems and solve them separately. Then, an overall iterative algorithm is proposed to obtain the final design with guaranteed convergence. Our proposed low-complexity algorithm incorporates 3D trajectory design and resource management to optimize the effective average secrecy throughput of the communication system over the course of UAV-relay's mission. Simulation results demonstrate significant performance improvements compared to various benchmark schemes and provide useful design insights on the coding blocklengths and transmit powers along the trajectory of the UAV.

Federated Learning (FL) emerges as a distributed machine learning paradigm without end-user data transmission, effectively avoiding privacy leakage. Participating devices in FL are usually bandwidth-constrained, and the uplink is much slower than the downlink in wireless networks, which causes a severe uplink communication bottleneck. A prominent direction to alleviate this problem is federated dropout, which drops fractional weights of local models. However, existing federated dropout studies focus on random or ordered dropout and lack theoretical support, resulting in unguaranteed performance. In this paper, we propose Federated learning with Bayesian Inference-based Adaptive Dropout (FedBIAD), which regards weight rows of local models as probability distributions and adaptively drops partial weight rows based on importance indicators correlated with the trend of local training loss. By applying FedBIAD, each client adaptively selects a high-quality dropping pattern with accurate approximations and only transmits parameters of non-dropped weight rows to mitigate uplink costs while improving accuracy. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that the convergence rate of the average generalization error of FedBIAD is minimax optimal up to a squared logarithmic factor. Extensive experiments on image classification and next-word prediction show that compared with status quo approaches, FedBIAD provides 2x uplink reduction with an accuracy increase of up to 2.41% even on non-Independent and Identically Distributed (non-IID) data, which brings up to 72% decrease in training time.

Mixtures of factor analysers (MFA) models represent a popular tool for finding structure in data, particularly high-dimensional data. While in most applications the number of clusters, and especially the number of latent factors within clusters, is mostly fixed in advance, in the recent literature models with automatic inference on both the number of clusters and latent factors have been introduced. The automatic inference is usually done by assigning a nonparametric prior and allowing the number of clusters and factors to potentially go to infinity. The MCMC estimation is performed via an adaptive algorithm, in which the parameters associated with the redundant factors are discarded as the chain moves. While this approach has clear advantages, it also bears some significant drawbacks. Running a separate factor-analytical model for each cluster involves matrices of changing dimensions, which can make the model and programming somewhat cumbersome. In addition, discarding the parameters associated with the redundant factors could lead to a bias in estimating cluster covariance matrices. At last, identification remains problematic for infinite factor models. The current work contributes to the MFA literature by providing for the automatic inference on the number of clusters and the number of cluster-specific factors while keeping both cluster and factor dimensions finite. This allows us to avoid many of the aforementioned drawbacks of the infinite models. For the automatic inference on the cluster structure, we employ the dynamic mixture of finite mixtures (MFM) model. Automatic inference on cluster-specific factors is performed by assigning an exchangeable shrinkage process (ESP) prior to the columns of the factor loading matrices. The performance of the model is demonstrated on several benchmark data sets as well as real data applications.

Network slicing is one of the major catalysts to turn future telecommunication networks into versatile service platforms. Along with its benefits, network slicing is introducing new challenges in the development of sustainable network operations. In fact, guaranteeing slices requirements comes at the cost of additional energy consumption, in comparison to non-sliced networks. Yet, one of the main goals of operators is to offer the diverse 5G and beyond services, while ensuring energy efficiency. To this end, we study the problem of slice activation/deactivation, with the objective of minimizing energy consumption and maximizing the users quality of service (QoS). To solve the problem, we rely on two Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) agents to derive decisions at individual base stations. Our evaluations are conducted using a real-world traffic dataset collected over an operational network in a medium size French city. Numerical results reveal that our proposed solutions provide approximately 11-14\% energy efficiency improvement compared to a configuration where all the slice instances are active, while maintaining the same level of QoS. Moreover, our work explicitly shows the impact of prioritizing the energy over QoS, and vice versa.
