Flexible antenna systems (FASs) can reconfigure their locations freely within a spatially continuous space. To keep favorable antenna positions, the channel state information (CSI) acquisition for FASs is essential. While some techniques have been proposed, most existing FAS channel estimators require several channel assumptions, such as slow variation and angular-domain sparsity. When these assumptions are not reasonable, the model mismatch may lead to unpredictable performance loss. In this paper, we propose the successive Bayesian reconstructor (S-BAR) as a general solution to estimate FAS channels. Unlike model-based estimators, the proposed S-BAR is prior-aided, which builds the experiential kernel for CSI acquisition. Inspired by Bayesian regression, the key idea of S-BAR is to model the FAS channels as a stochastic process, whose uncertainty can be successively eliminated by kernel-based sampling and regression. In this way, the predictive mean of the regressed stochastic process can be viewed as the maximum a posterior (MAP) estimator of FAS channels. Simulation results verify that, in both model-mismatched and model-matched cases, the proposed S-BAR can achieve higher estimation accuracy than the existing schemes.

In this work, we address the energy efficiency (EE) maximization problem in a downlink communication system utilizing reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) in a multi-user massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) setup with zero-forcing (ZF) precoding. The channel between the base station (BS) and RIS operates under a Rician fading with Rician factor K1. Since systematically optimizing the RIS phase shifts in each channel coherence time interval is challenging and burdensome, we employ the statistical channel state information (CSI)-based optimization strategy to alleviate this overhead. By treating the RIS phase shifts matrix as a constant over multiple channel coherence time intervals, we can reduce the computational complexity while maintaining an interesting performance. Based on an ergodic rate (ER) lower bound closed-form, the EE optimization problem is formulated. Such a problem is non-convex and challenging to tackle due to the coupled variables. To circumvent such an obstacle, we explore the sequential optimization approach where the power allocation vector p, the number of antennas M, and the RIS phase shifts v are separated and sequentially solved iteratively until convergence. With the help of the Lagrangian dual method, fractional programming (FP) techniques, and Lemma 1, insightful compact closed-form expressions for each of the three optimization variables are derived. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method across different generalized channel scenarios, including non-line-of-sight (NLoS) and partially line-of-sight (LoS) conditions. This underscores its potential to significantly reduce power consumption, decrease the number of active antennas at the base station, and effectively incorporate RIS structure in mMIMO communication setup with just statistical CSI knowledge.

Resource allocation is a fundamental task in cell-free (CF) massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems, which can effectively improve the network performance. In this paper, we study the downlink of CF MIMO networks with network clustering and linear precoding, and develop a sequential multiuser scheduling and power allocation scheme. In particular, we present a multiuser scheduling algorithm based on greedy techniques and a gradient ascent {(GA)} power allocation algorithm for sum-rate maximization when imperfect channel state information (CSI) is considered. Numerical results show the superiority of the proposed sequential scheduling and power allocation scheme and algorithms to existing approaches while reducing the computational complexity and the signaling load.

Various methods have been proposed to secure access to sensitive information over time, such as the many cryptographic methods in use to facilitate secure communications on the internet. But other methods like steganography have been overlooked which may be more suitable in cases where the act of transmission of sensitive information itself should remain a secret. Multiple techniques that are commonly discussed for such scenarios suffer from low capacity and high distortion in the output signal. This research introduces a novel steganographic approach for concealing a confidential portable document format (PDF) document within a host image by employing the Hybrid Firefly algorithm (HFA) proposed to select the pixel arrangement. This algorithm combines two widely used optimization algorithms to improve their performance. The suggested methodology utilizes the HFA algorithm to conduct a search for optimal pixel placements in the spatial domain. The purpose of this search is to accomplish two main goals: increasing the host image's capacity and reducing distortion. Moreover, the proposed approach intends to reduce the time required for the embedding procedure. The findings indicate a decrease in image distortion and an accelerated rate of convergence in the search process. The resultant embeddings exhibit robustness against steganalytic assaults, hence rendering the identification of the embedded data a formidable undertaking.

Super-resolution (SR) techniques have recently been proposed to upscale the outputs of neural radiance fields (NeRF) and generate high-quality images with enhanced inference speeds. However, existing NeRF+SR methods increase training overhead by using extra input features, loss functions, and/or expensive training procedures such as knowledge distillation. In this paper, we aim to leverage SR for efficiency gains without costly training or architectural changes. Specifically, we build a simple NeRF+SR pipeline that directly combines existing modules, and we propose a lightweight augmentation technique, random patch sampling, for training. Compared to existing NeRF+SR methods, our pipeline mitigates the SR computing overhead and can be trained up to 23x faster, making it feasible to run on consumer devices such as the Apple MacBook. Experiments show our pipeline can upscale NeRF outputs by 2-4x while maintaining high quality, increasing inference speeds by up to 18x on an NVIDIA V100 GPU and 12.8x on an M1 Pro chip. We conclude that SR can be a simple but effective technique for improving the efficiency of NeRF models for consumer devices.

Equivariance of linear neural network layers is well studied. In this work, we relax the equivariance condition to only be true in a projective sense. We propose a way to construct a projectively equivariant neural network through building a standard equivariant network where the linear group representations acting on each intermediate feature space are "multiplicatively modified lifts" of projective group representations. By theoretically studying the relation of projectively and linearly equivariant linear layers, we show that our approach is the most general possible when building a network out of linear layers. The theory is showcased in two simple experiments.

To effectively process high volume of data across a fleet of dynamic and distributed vehicles, it is crucial to implement resource provisioning techniques that can provide reliable, cost-effective, and timely computing services. This article explores computation-intensive task scheduling over mobile vehicular clouds (MVCs). We use undirected weighted graphs (UWGs) to model both the execution of tasks and communication patterns among vehicles in an MVC. We then study reliable and timely scheduling of UWG tasks through a novel mechanism, operating on two complementary decision-making stages: Plan A and Plan B. Plan A entails a proactive decision-making approach, leveraging historical statistical data for the preemptive creation of an optimal mapping ($\alpha$) between tasks and the MVC prior to practical task scheduling. In contrast, Plan B explores a real-time decision-making paradigm, functioning as a reliable contingency plan. It seeks a viable mapping ($\beta$) if $\alpha$ encounters failures during task scheduling due to the unpredictable nature of the network. Furthermore, we provide an in-depth exploration of the procedural intricacies and key contributing factors that underpin the success of our mechanism. Additionally, we present a case study showcasing the superior performance on time efficiency and computation overhead. We further discuss a series of open directions for future research.

Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) have been widely applied in various fields due to their significant power on processing graph-structured data. Typical GCN and its variants work under a homophily assumption (i.e., nodes with same class are prone to connect to each other), while ignoring the heterophily which exists in many real-world networks (i.e., nodes with different classes tend to form edges). Existing methods deal with heterophily by mainly aggregating higher-order neighborhoods or combing the immediate representations, which leads to noise and irrelevant information in the result. But these methods did not change the propagation mechanism which works under homophily assumption (that is a fundamental part of GCNs). This makes it difficult to distinguish the representation of nodes from different classes. To address this problem, in this paper we design a novel propagation mechanism, which can automatically change the propagation and aggregation process according to homophily or heterophily between node pairs. To adaptively learn the propagation process, we introduce two measurements of homophily degree between node pairs, which is learned based on topological and attribute information, respectively. Then we incorporate the learnable homophily degree into the graph convolution framework, which is trained in an end-to-end schema, enabling it to go beyond the assumption of homophily. More importantly, we theoretically prove that our model can constrain the similarity of representations between nodes according to their homophily degree. Experiments on seven real-world datasets demonstrate that this new approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods under heterophily or low homophily, and gains competitive performance under homophily.

To quickly obtain new labeled data, we can choose crowdsourcing as an alternative way at lower cost in a short time. But as an exchange, crowd annotations from non-experts may be of lower quality than those from experts. In this paper, we propose an approach to performing crowd annotation learning for Chinese Named Entity Recognition (NER) to make full use of the noisy sequence labels from multiple annotators. Inspired by adversarial learning, our approach uses a common Bi-LSTM and a private Bi-LSTM for representing annotator-generic and -specific information. The annotator-generic information is the common knowledge for entities easily mastered by the crowd. Finally, we build our Chinese NE tagger based on the LSTM-CRF model. In our experiments, we create two data sets for Chinese NER tasks from two domains. The experimental results show that our system achieves better scores than strong baseline systems.

We consider the task of weakly supervised one-shot detection. In this task, we attempt to perform a detection task over a set of unseen classes, when training only using weak binary labels that indicate the existence of a class instance in a given example. The model is conditioned on a single exemplar of an unseen class and a target example that may or may not contain an instance of the same class as the exemplar. A similarity map is computed by using a Siamese neural network to map the exemplar and regions of the target example to a latent representation space and then computing cosine similarity scores between representations. An attention mechanism weights different regions in the target example, and enables learning of the one-shot detection task using the weaker labels alone. The model can be applied to detection tasks from different domains, including computer vision object detection. We evaluate our attention Siamese networks on a one-shot detection task from the audio domain, where it detects audio keywords in spoken utterances. Our model considerably outperforms a baseline approach and yields a 42.6% average precision for detection across 10 unseen classes. Moreover, architectural developments from computer vision object detection models such as a region proposal network can be incorporated into the model architecture, and results show that performance is expected to improve by doing so.
