With the increasing popularity of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, there is a growing need for energy-efficient Machine Learning (ML) models that can run on constrained edge nodes. Decision tree ensembles, such as Random Forests (RFs) and Gradient Boosting (GBTs), are particularly suited for this task, given their relatively low complexity compared to other alternatives. However, their inference time and energy costs are still significant for edge hardware. Given that said costs grow linearly with the ensemble size, this paper proposes the use of dynamic ensembles, that adjust the number of executed trees based both on a latency/energy target and on the complexity of the processed input, to trade-off computational cost and accuracy. We focus on deploying these algorithms on multi-core low-power IoT devices, designing a tool that automatically converts a Python ensemble into optimized C code, and exploring several optimizations that account for the available parallelism and memory hierarchy. We extensively benchmark both static and dynamic RFs and GBTs on three state-of-the-art IoT-relevant datasets, using an 8-core ultra-lowpower System-on-Chip (SoC), GAP8, as the target platform. Thanks to the proposed early-stopping mechanisms, we achieve an energy reduction of up to 37.9% with respect to static GBTs (8.82 uJ vs 14.20 uJ per inference) and 41.7% with respect to static RFs (2.86 uJ vs 4.90 uJ per inference), without losing accuracy compared to the static model.

UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) is rapidly gaining traction in various human activities and has become an integral component of the satellite-air-ground-sea (SAGS) integrated network. As high-speed moving objects, UAVs not only have extremely strict requirements for communication delay, but also cannot be maliciously controlled as a weapon by the attacker. Therefore, an efficient and secure communication method designed for UAV networks is necessary. We propose a communication mechanism ESCM. For high efficiency, ESCM provides a routing protocol based on the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm to accelerate communications between UAVs. Meanwhile, we use blockchain to guarantee the security of UAV networks. However, blockchain has unstable links in high-mobility networks resulting in low consensus efficiency and high communication overhead. Consequently, ESCM introduces digital twin (DT), which transforms the UAV network into a static network by mapping UAVs from the physical world into Cyberspace. This virtual UAV network is called CyberUAV. Then, in CyberUAV, we design a blockchain consensus based on network coding, named Proof of Network Coding (PoNC). Analysis and simulation show that the above modules in ESCM have advantages over existing schemes. Through ablation studies, we demonstrate that these modules are indispensable for efficient and secure communication of UAV networks.

As the saying goes, "seeing is believing". However, with the development of digital face editing tools, we can no longer trust what we can see. Although face forgery detection has made promising progress, most current methods are designed manually by human experts, which is labor-consuming. In this paper, we develop an end-to-end framework based on neural architecture search (NAS) for deepfake detection, which can automatically design network architectures without human intervention. First, a forgery-oriented search space is created to choose appropriate operations for this task. Second, we propose a novel performance estimation metric, which guides the search process to select more general models. The cross-dataset search is also considered to develop more general architectures. Eventually, we connect the cells in a cascaded pyramid way for final forgery classification. Compared with state-of-the-art networks artificially designed, our method achieves competitive performance in both in-dataset and cross-dataset scenarios.

Federated bilevel optimization has attracted increasing attention due to emerging machine learning and communication applications. The biggest challenge lies in computing the gradient of the upper-level objective function (i.e., hypergradient) in the federated setting due to the nonlinear and distributed construction of a series of global Hessian matrices. In this paper, we propose a novel communication-efficient federated hypergradient estimator via aggregated iterative differentiation (AggITD). AggITD is simple to implement and significantly reduces the communication cost by conducting the federated hypergradient estimation and the lower-level optimization simultaneously. We show that the proposed AggITD-based algorithm achieves the same sample complexity as existing approximate implicit differentiation (AID)-based approaches with much fewer communication rounds in the presence of data heterogeneity. Our results also shed light on the great advantage of ITD over AID in the federated/distributed hypergradient estimation. This differs from the comparison in the non-distributed bilevel optimization, where ITD is less efficient than AID. Our extensive experiments demonstrate the great effectiveness and communication efficiency of the proposed method.

With the quick proliferation of extended reality (XR) services, the mobile communications networks are faced with gigantic challenges to meet the diversified and challenging service requirements. A tight coordination or even convergence of applications and mobile networks is highly motivated. In this paper, a multi-domain (e.g. application layer, transport layer, the core network, radio access network, user equipment) coordination scheme is first proposed, which facilitates a tight coordination between applications and networks based on the current 5G networks. Toward the convergence of applications and networks, a network architectures with cross-domain joint processing capability is further proposed for 6G mobile communications and beyond. Both designs are able to provide more accurate information of the quality of experience (QoE) and quality of service (QoS), thus paving the path for the joint optimization of applications and networks. The benefits of the QoE assisted scheduling are further investigated via simulations. A new QoE-oriented fairness metric is further proposed, which is capable of ensuring better fairness when different services are scheduled. Future research directions and their standardization impacts are also identified. Toward optimized end-to-end service provision, the paradigm shift from loosely coupled to converged design of applications and wireless communication networks is indispensable.

Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) is one of the most common techniques in fault-tolerant systems, in which the output is determined by a majority voter. However, the design diversity of replicated modules and/or soft errors that are more likely to happen in the nanoscale era may affect the majority voting scheme. Besides, the significant overheads of the TMR scheme may limit its usage in energy consumption and area-constrained critical systems. However, for most inherently error-resilient applications such as image processing and vision deployed in critical systems (like autonomous vehicles and robotics), achieving a given level of reliability has more priority than precise results. Therefore, these applications can benefit from the approximate computing paradigm to achieve higher energy efficiency and a lower area. This paper proposes an energy-efficient approximate reliability (X-Rel) framework to overcome the aforementioned challenges of the TMR systems and get the full potential of approximate computing without sacrificing the desired reliability constraint and output quality. The X-Rel framework relies on relaxing the precision of the voter based on a systematical error bounding method that leverages user-defined quality and reliability constraints. Afterward, the size of the achieved voter is used to approximate the TMR modules such that the overall area and energy consumption are minimized. The effectiveness of employing the proposed X-Rel technique in a TMR structure, for different quality constraints as well as with various reliability bounds are evaluated in a 15-nm FinFET technology. The results of the X-Rel voter show delay, area, and energy consumption reductions of up to 86%, 87%, and 98%, respectively, when compared to those of the state-of-the-art approximate TMR voters.

With the emergence of privacy leaks in federated learning, secure aggregation protocols that mainly adopt either homomorphic encryption or threshold secret sharing have been widely developed for federated learning to protect the privacy of the local training data of each client. However, these existing protocols suffer from many shortcomings, such as the dependence on a trusted third party, the vulnerability to clients being corrupted, low efficiency, the trade-off between security and fault tolerance, etc. To solve these disadvantages, we propose an efficient and multi-private key secure aggregation scheme for federated learning. Specifically, we skillfully modify the variant ElGamal encryption technique to achieve homomorphic addition operation, which has two important advantages: 1) The server and each client can freely select public and private keys without introducing a trust third party and 2) Compared to the variant ElGamal encryption, the plaintext space is relatively large, which is more suitable for the deep model. Besides, for the high dimensional deep model parameter, we introduce a super-increasing sequence to compress multi-dimensional data into 1-D, which can greatly reduce encryption and decryption times as well as communication for ciphertext transmission. Detailed security analyses show that our proposed scheme achieves the semantic security of both individual local gradients and the aggregated result while achieving optimal robustness in tolerating both client collusion and dropped clients. Extensive simulations demonstrate that the accuracy of our scheme is almost the same as the non-private approach, while the efficiency of our scheme is much better than the state-of-the-art homomorphic encryption-based secure aggregation schemes. More importantly, the efficiency advantages of our scheme will become increasingly prominent as the number of model parameters increases.

Deep reinforcement learning algorithms typically act on the same set of actions. However, this is not sufficient for a wide range of real-world applications where different subsets are available at each step. In this thesis, we consider the problem of interval restrictions as they occur in pathfinding with dynamic obstacles. When actions that lead to collisions are avoided, the continuous action space is split into variable parts. Recent research learns with strong assumptions on the number of intervals, is limited to convex subsets, and the available actions are learned from the observations. Therefore, we propose two approaches that are independent of the state of the environment by extending parameterized reinforcement learning and ConstraintNet to handle an arbitrary number of intervals. We demonstrate their performance in an obstacle avoidance task and compare the methods to penalties, projection, replacement, as well as discrete and continuous masking from the literature. The results suggest that discrete masking of action-values is the only effective method when constraints did not emerge during training. When restrictions are learned, the decision between projection, masking, and our ConstraintNet modification seems to depend on the task at hand. We compare the results with varying complexity and give directions for future work.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have succeeded in many different perception tasks, e.g., computer vision, natural language processing, reinforcement learning, etc. The high-performed DNNs heavily rely on intensive resource consumption. For example, training a DNN requires high dynamic memory, a large-scale dataset, and a large number of computations (a long training time); even inference with a DNN also demands a large amount of static storage, computations (a long inference time), and energy. Therefore, state-of-the-art DNNs are often deployed on a cloud server with a large number of super-computers, a high-bandwidth communication bus, a shared storage infrastructure, and a high power supplement. Recently, some new emerging intelligent applications, e.g., AR/VR, mobile assistants, Internet of Things, require us to deploy DNNs on resource-constrained edge devices. Compare to a cloud server, edge devices often have a rather small amount of resources. To deploy DNNs on edge devices, we need to reduce the size of DNNs, i.e., we target a better trade-off between resource consumption and model accuracy. In this dissertation, we studied four edge intelligence scenarios, i.e., Inference on Edge Devices, Adaptation on Edge Devices, Learning on Edge Devices, and Edge-Server Systems, and developed different methodologies to enable deep learning in each scenario. Since current DNNs are often over-parameterized, our goal is to find and reduce the redundancy of the DNNs in each scenario.

The existence of representative datasets is a prerequisite of many successful artificial intelligence and machine learning models. However, the subsequent application of these models often involves scenarios that are inadequately represented in the data used for training. The reasons for this are manifold and range from time and cost constraints to ethical considerations. As a consequence, the reliable use of these models, especially in safety-critical applications, is a huge challenge. Leveraging additional, already existing sources of knowledge is key to overcome the limitations of purely data-driven approaches, and eventually to increase the generalization capability of these models. Furthermore, predictions that conform with knowledge are crucial for making trustworthy and safe decisions even in underrepresented scenarios. This work provides an overview of existing techniques and methods in the literature that combine data-based models with existing knowledge. The identified approaches are structured according to the categories integration, extraction and conformity. Special attention is given to applications in the field of autonomous driving.
