Beyond diagonal reconfigurable intelligent surface (BD-RIS) extends conventional RIS through novel architectures, such as group-connected RIS, with scattering matrix not restricted to being diagonal. However, it remains unexplored how to optimally group the elements in group-connected RISs to maximize the performance while maintaining a low-complexity circuit. In this study, we propose and model BD-RIS with a static grouping strategy optimized based on the channel statistics. After formulating the corresponding problems, we design the grouping in single- and multi-user systems. Numerical results reveal the benefits of grouping optimization, i.e., up to 60% sum rate improvement, especially in highly correlated channels.

Motivated by the pressing challenges in the digital twin development for biomanufacturing process, we introduce an adjoint sensitivity analysis (SA) approach to expedite the learning of mechanistic model parameters. In this paper, we consider enzymatic stochastic reaction networks representing a multi-scale bioprocess mechanistic model that allows us to integrate disparate data from diverse production processes and leverage the information from existing macro-kinetic and genome-scale models. To support forward prediction and backward reasoning, we develop a convergent adjoint SA algorithm studying how the perturbations of model parameters and inputs (e.g., initial state) propagate through enzymatic reaction networks and impact on output trajectory predictions. This SA can provide a sample efficient and interpretable way to assess the sensitivities between inputs and outputs accounting for their causal dependencies. Our empirical study underscores the resilience of these sensitivities and illuminates a deeper comprehension of the regulatory mechanisms behind bioprocess through sensitivities.

This paper studies the problem of Cooperative Localization (CL) for multi-robot systems, where a group of mobile robots jointly localize themselves by using measurements from onboard sensors and shared information from other robots. We propose a novel distributed invariant Kalman Filter (DInEKF) based on the Lie group theory, to solve the CL problem in a 3-D environment. Unlike the standard EKF which computes the Jacobians based on the linearization at the state estimate, DInEKF defines the robots' motion model on matrix Lie groups and offers the advantage of state estimate-independent Jacobians. This significantly improves the consistency of the estimator. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is fully distributed, relying solely on each robot's ego-motion measurements and information received from its one-hop communication neighbors. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is validated in both Monte-Carlo simulations and real-world experiments. The results show that the proposed DInEKF outperforms the standard distributed EKF in terms of both accuracy and consistency.

In this work, we introduce Brain Latent Progression (BrLP), a novel spatiotemporal disease progression model based on latent diffusion. BrLP is designed to predict the evolution of diseases at the individual level on 3D brain MRIs. Existing deep generative models developed for this task are primarily data-driven and face challenges in learning disease progressions. BrLP addresses these challenges by incorporating prior knowledge from disease models to enhance the accuracy of predictions. To implement this, we propose to integrate an auxiliary model that infers volumetric changes in various brain regions. Additionally, we introduce Latent Average Stabilization (LAS), a novel technique to improve spatiotemporal consistency of the predicted progression. BrLP is trained and evaluated on a large dataset comprising 11,730 T1-weighted brain MRIs from 2,805 subjects, collected from three publicly available, longitudinal Alzheimer's Disease (AD) studies. In our experiments, we compare the MRI scans generated by BrLP with the actual follow-up MRIs available from the subjects, in both cross-sectional and longitudinal settings. BrLP demonstrates significant improvements over existing methods, with an increase of 22% in volumetric accuracy across AD-related brain regions and 43% in image similarity to the ground-truth scans. The ability of BrLP to generate conditioned 3D scans at the subject level, along with the novelty of integrating prior knowledge to enhance accuracy, represents a significant advancement in disease progression modeling, opening new avenues for precision medicine. The code of BrLP is available at the following link: //github.com/LemuelPuglisi/BrLP.

In real-world scenarios, objects often require repositioning and reorientation before they can be grasped, a process known as pre-grasp manipulation. Learning universal dexterous functional pre-grasp manipulation requires precise control over the relative position, orientation, and contact between the hand and object while generalizing to diverse dynamic scenarios with varying objects and goal poses. To address this challenge, we propose a teacher-student learning approach that utilizes a novel mutual reward, incentivizing agents to optimize three key criteria jointly. Additionally, we introduce a pipeline that employs a mixture-of-experts strategy to learn diverse manipulation policies, followed by a diffusion policy to capture complex action distributions from these experts. Our method achieves a success rate of 72.6\% across more than 30 object categories by leveraging extrinsic dexterity and adjusting from feedback.

In this paper, we study a remote monitoring system where a receiver observes a remote binary Markov source and decides whether to sample and fetch the source's state over a randomly delayed channel. Due to transmission delay, the observation of the source is imperfect, resulting in the uncertainty of the source's state at the receiver. We thus use uncertainty of information as the metric to characterize the performance of the system. Measured by Shannon's entropy, uncertainty of information reflects how much we do not know about the latest source's state in the absence of new information. The current research for uncertainty of information idealizes the transmission delay as one time slot, but not under random delay. Moreover, uncertainty of information varies with the latest observation of the source's state, making it different from other age of information related functions. Motivated by the above reasons, we formulate a uncertainty of information minimization problem under random delay. Typically, such a problem which takes actions based on the imperfect observations can be modeled as a partially observed Markov decision process. By introducing belief state, we transform this process into a semi-Markov decision process. To solve this problem, we first provide an optimal sampling policy employing a two layered bisection relative value iteration algorithm. Furthermore, we propose a sub-optimal index policy with low complexity based on the special properties of belief state. Numerical simulations illustrate that both of the proposed sampling policies outperforms two other benchmarks. Moreover, the performance of the sub-optimal policy approaches to that of the optimal policy, particularly under large delay.

We consider channel coding for discrete memoryless channels (DMCs) with a novel cost constraint that constrains both the mean and the variance of the cost of the codewords. We show that the maximum (asymptotically) achievable rate under the new cost formulation is equal to the capacity-cost function; in particular, the strong converse holds. We further characterize the optimal second-order coding rate of these cost-constrained codes; in particular, the optimal second-order coding rate is finite. We then show that the second-order coding performance is strictly improved with feedback using a new variation of timid/bold coding, significantly broadening the applicability of timid/bold coding schemes from unconstrained compound-dispersion channels to all cost-constrained channels. Equivalent results on the minimum average probability of error are also given.

The vision for 6G extends beyond mere communication, incorporating sensing capabilities to facilitate a diverse array of novel applications and services. However, the advent of joint communication and sensing (JCAS) technology introduces concerns regarding the handling of sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) pertaining to individuals and objects, along with external third-party data and disclosure. Consequently, JCAS-based applications are susceptible to privacy breaches, including location tracking, identity disclosure, profiling, and misuse of sensor data, raising significant implications under the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as well as other applicable standards. This paper critically examines emergent JCAS architectures and underscores the necessity for network functions to enable privacy-specific features in the 6G systems. We propose an enhanced JCAS architecture with additional network functions and interfaces, facilitating the management of sensing policies, consent information, and transparency guidelines, alongside the integration of sensing-specific functions and storage for sensing processing sessions. Furthermore, we conduct a comprehensive threat analysis for all interfaces, employing security threat model STRIDE and privacy threat model LINDDUN. We also summarise the identified threats using standard Common Weakness Enumerations (CWEs). Finally, we suggest the security and privacy controls as the mitigating strategies to counter the identified threats stemming from the JCAS architecture.

Molecular design and synthesis planning are two critical steps in the process of molecular discovery that we propose to formulate as a single shared task of conditional synthetic pathway generation. We report an amortized approach to generate synthetic pathways as a Markov decision process conditioned on a target molecular embedding. This approach allows us to conduct synthesis planning in a bottom-up manner and design synthesizable molecules by decoding from optimized conditional codes, demonstrating the potential to solve both problems of design and synthesis simultaneously. The approach leverages neural networks to probabilistically model the synthetic trees, one reaction step at a time, according to reactivity rules encoded in a discrete action space of reaction templates. We train these networks on hundreds of thousands of artificial pathways generated from a pool of purchasable compounds and a list of expert-curated templates. We validate our method with (a) the recovery of molecules using conditional generation, (b) the identification of synthesizable structural analogs, and (c) the optimization of molecular structures given oracle functions relevant to drug discovery.

In this paper, we propose a novel Feature Decomposition and Reconstruction Learning (FDRL) method for effective facial expression recognition. We view the expression information as the combination of the shared information (expression similarities) across different expressions and the unique information (expression-specific variations) for each expression. More specifically, FDRL mainly consists of two crucial networks: a Feature Decomposition Network (FDN) and a Feature Reconstruction Network (FRN). In particular, FDN first decomposes the basic features extracted from a backbone network into a set of facial action-aware latent features to model expression similarities. Then, FRN captures the intra-feature and inter-feature relationships for latent features to characterize expression-specific variations, and reconstructs the expression feature. To this end, two modules including an intra-feature relation modeling module and an inter-feature relation modeling module are developed in FRN. Experimental results on both the in-the-lab databases (including CK+, MMI, and Oulu-CASIA) and the in-the-wild databases (including RAF-DB and SFEW) show that the proposed FDRL method consistently achieves higher recognition accuracy than several state-of-the-art methods. This clearly highlights the benefit of feature decomposition and reconstruction for classifying expressions.
