In this paper, we provide the first deterministic algorithm that achieves the tight $1-1/e$ approximation guarantee for submodular maximization under a cardinality (size) constraint while making a number of queries that scales only linearly with the size of the ground set $n$. To complement our result, we also show strong information-theoretic lower bounds. More specifically, we show that when the maximum cardinality allowed for a solution is constant, no algorithm making a sub-linear number of function evaluations can guarantee any constant approximation ratio. Furthermore, when the constraint allows the selection of a constant fraction of the ground set, we show that any algorithm making fewer than $\Omega(n/\log(n))$ function evaluations cannot perform better than an algorithm that simply outputs a uniformly random subset of the ground set of the right size. We then provide a variant of our deterministic algorithm for the more general knapsack constraint, which is the first linear-time algorithm that achieves $1/2$-approximation guarantee for this constraint. Finally, we extend our results to the general case of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to the intersection of a $p$-set system and multiple knapsack constraints. We extensively evaluate the performance of our algorithms on multiple real-life machine learning applications, including movie recommendation, location summarization, twitter text summarization and video summarization.

This paper investigates reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted secure multiuser communication systems subject to hardware impairments (HIs). We jointly optimize the beamforming vectors at the base station (BS) and the phase shifts of the reflecting elements at the RIS so as to maximize the weighted minimum secrecy rate (WMSR), subject to both transmission power constraints at the BS and unit-modulus constraints at the RIS. To address the formulated optimization problem, we first decouple it into two tractable subproblems and then use the block coordinate descent (BCD) method to alternately optimize the subproblems. Two different methods are proposed to solve the two obtained subproblems. The first method transforms each subproblem into a second order cone programming (SOCP) problem, which can be directly solved using CVX. The second method leverages the Minorization- Maximization (MM) algorithm. Specifically, we first derive a concave approximation function, which is a lower bound of the original objective function, and then the two subproblems are transformed into two simple surrogate problems with closedform solutions. Simulation results verify the performance gains of the proposed robust transmission method over existing nonrobust designs. In addition, the MM algorithm is shown to have much lower complexity than the SOCP-based algorithm.

Deploying reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) to enhance wireless transmission is a promising approach. In this paper, we investigate large-scale multi-RIS-assisted multi-cell systems, where multiple RISs are deployed in each cell. Different from the full-buffer scenario, the mutual interference in our system is not known a priori, and for this reason we apply the load coupling model to analyze this system. The objective is to minimize the total resource consumption subject to user demand requirement by optimizing the reflection coefficients in the cells. The cells are highly coupled and the overall problem is non-convex. To tackle this, we first investigate the single-cell case with given interference, and propose a low-complexity algorithm based on the Majorization-Minimization method to obtain a locally optimal solution. Then, we embed this algorithm into an algorithmic framework for the overall multi-cell problem, and prove its feasibility and convergence to a solution that is at least locally optimal. Simulation results demonstrate the benefit of RIS in time-frequency resource utilization in the multi-cell system.

Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) have emerged as a promising wireless technology for the dynamic configuration and control of electromagnetic waves, thus creating a smart (programmable) radio environment. In this context, we study a multi-IRS assisted two-way communication system consisting of two users that employ full-duplex (FD) technology. More specifically, we deal with the joint IRS location and size (i.e., the number of reflecting elements) optimization in order to minimize an upper bound of system outage probability under various constraints, namely, minimum and maximum number of reflecting elements per IRS, maximum number of installed IRSs, maximum total number of reflecting elements (implicit bound on the signaling overhead) as well as maximum total IRS installation cost. First, the problem is formulated as a discrete optimization problem and, then, a theoretical proof of its NP-hardness is given. Moreover, we provide a lower bound on the optimum value by solving a linear-programming relaxation (LPR) problem. Subsequently, we design two polynomial-time algorithms, a deterministic greedy algorithm and a randomized approximation algorithm, based on the LPR solution. The former is a heuristic method that always computes a feasible solution for which (a posteriori) performance guarantee can be provided. The latter achieves an approximate solution, using randomized rounding, with provable (a priori) probabilistic guarantees on the performance. Furthermore, extensive numerical simulations demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithms compared to the baseline schemes. Finally, useful conclusions regarding the comparison between FD and conventional half-duplex (HD) systems are also drawn.

This paper studies the problem of distributed spectrum/channel access for cognitive radio-enabled unmanned aerial vehicles (CUAVs) that overlay upon primary channels. Under the framework of cooperative spectrum sensing and opportunistic transmission, a one-shot optimization problem for channel allocation, aiming to maximize the expected cumulative weighted reward of multiple CUAVs, is formulated. To handle the uncertainty due to the lack of prior knowledge about the primary user activities as well as the lack of the channel-access coordinator, the original problem is cast into a competition and cooperation hybrid multi-agent reinforcement learning (CCH-MARL) problem in the framework of Markov game (MG). Then, a value-iteration-based RL algorithm, which features upper confidence bound-Hoeffding (UCB-H) strategy searching, is proposed by treating each CUAV as an independent learner (IL). To address the curse of dimensionality, the UCB-H strategy is further extended with a double deep Q-network (DDQN). Numerical simulations show that the proposed algorithms are able to efficiently converge to stable strategies, and significantly improve the network performance when compared with the benchmark algorithms such as the vanilla Q-learning and DDQN algorithms.

In this paper, we propose a novel solution for non-convex problems of multiple variables, especially for those typically solved by an alternating minimization (AM) strategy that splits the original optimization problem into a set of sub-problems corresponding to each variable, and then iteratively optimize each sub-problem using a fixed updating rule. However, due to the intrinsic non-convexity of the original optimization problem, the optimization can usually be trapped into spurious local minimum even when each sub-problem can be optimally solved at each iteration. Meanwhile, learning-based approaches, such as deep unfolding algorithms, are highly limited by the lack of labelled data and restricted explainability. To tackle these issues, we propose a meta-learning based alternating minimization (MLAM) method, which aims to minimize a partial of the global losses over iterations instead of carrying minimization on each sub-problem, and it tends to learn an adaptive strategy to replace the handcrafted counterpart resulting in advance on superior performance. Meanwhile, the proposed MLAM still maintains the original algorithmic principle, which contributes to a better interpretability. We evaluate the proposed method on two representative problems, namely, bi-linear inverse problem: matrix completion, and non-linear problem: Gaussian mixture models. The experimental results validate that our proposed approach outperforms AM-based methods in standard settings, and is able to achieve effective optimization in challenging cases while other comparing methods would typically fail.

We establish a novel convergent iteration framework for a weak approximation of general switching diffusion. The key theoretical basis of the proposed approach is a restriction of the maximum number of switching so as to untangle and compensate a challenging system of weakly coupled partial differential equations to a collection of independent partial differential equations, for which a variety of accurate and efficient numerical methods are available. Upper and lower bounding functions for the solutions are constructed using the iterative approximate solutions. We provide a rigorous convergence analysis for the iterative approximate solutions, as well as for the upper and lower bounding functions. Numerical results are provided to examine our theoretical findings and the effectiveness of the proposed framework.

We study the robust maximum flow problem and the robust maximum flow over time problem where a given number of arcs $\Gamma$ may fail or may be delayed. Two prominent models have been introduced for these problems: either one assigns flow to arcs fulfilling weak flow conservation in any scenario, or one assigns flow to paths where an arc failure or delay affects a whole path. We provide a unifying framework by presenting novel general models, in which we assign flow to subpaths. These models contain the known models as special cases and unify their advantages in order to obtain less conservative robust solutions. We give a thorough analysis with respect to complexity of the general models. In particular, we show that the general models are essentially NP-hard, whereas, e.g. in the static case with $\Gamma = 1$ an optimal solution can be computed in polynomial time. Further, we answer the open question about the complexity of the dynamic path model for $\Gamma = 1$. We also compare the solution quality of the different models. In detail, we show that the general models have better robust optimal values than the known models and we prove bounds on these gaps.

We study the use of the Wave-U-Net architecture for speech enhancement, a model introduced by Stoller et al for the separation of music vocals and accompaniment. This end-to-end learning method for audio source separation operates directly in the time domain, permitting the integrated modelling of phase information and being able to take large temporal contexts into account. Our experiments show that the proposed method improves several metrics, namely PESQ, CSIG, CBAK, COVL and SSNR, over the state-of-the-art with respect to the speech enhancement task on the Voice Bank corpus (VCTK) dataset. We find that a reduced number of hidden layers is sufficient for speech enhancement in comparison to the original system designed for singing voice separation in music. We see this initial result as an encouraging signal to further explore speech enhancement in the time-domain, both as an end in itself and as a pre-processing step to speech recognition systems.

We propose a new nonlinear embedding -- Piecewise Flat Embedding (PFE) -- for image segmentation. Based on the theory of sparse signal recovery, piecewise flat embedding attempts to recover a piecewise constant image representation with sparse region boundaries and sparse cluster value scattering. The resultant piecewise flat embedding exhibits interesting properties such as suppressing slowly varying signals, and offers an image representation with higher region identifiability which is desirable for image segmentation or high-level semantic analysis tasks. We formulate our embedding as a variant of the Laplacian Eigenmap embedding with an $L_{1,p} (0<p\leq1)$ regularization term to promote sparse solutions. First, we devise a two-stage numerical algorithm based on Bregman iterations to compute $L_{1,1}$-regularized piecewise flat embeddings. We further generalize this algorithm through iterative reweighting to solve the general $L_{1,p}$-regularized problem. To demonstrate its efficacy, we integrate PFE into two existing image segmentation frameworks, segmentation based on clustering and hierarchical segmentation based on contour detection. Experiments on four major benchmark datasets, BSDS500, MSRC, Stanford Background Dataset, and PASCAL Context, show that segmentation algorithms incorporating our embedding achieve significantly improved results.
