Federated edge learning with reconfigurable intelligent surface and its application in Internet of vehicles by Ping WANG, Zhiwei YANG, Heju LI

“…Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to achieve an optimal trade-off between wireless communication and model accuracy in FEEL training caused by the heterogeneity of wireless links and data distribution, a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) enabled federated edge learning system was proposed, which exploited the channel reconfigurability of RIS to adaptively manipulate the signal propagation environment, and utilized the over-the-air computation (Aircomp) to achieve fast model aggregation.Specifically, the convergence behavior of the FEEL algorithm under the influence of wireless channels and data heterogeneity was rigorously derived, and accordingly, an unified wireless resources optimization problem was constructed with the goal of minimizing the learning loss by jointly designing the transceiver design and the RIS phase shift.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves substantial performance improvement compared against several baselines, and prove that RIS can play an important role in improving the accuracy of Aircomp enabled FEEL systems under data heterogeneity.Finally, the probability of applying it into Internet of vehicles is discussed.…”

Thinking through and about anthropomorphic figurines. A cognitive and neuroarchaeological approach to the study of peak sanctuary practices by Anastasia Chrysanthi Solomou

“…This study focuses on the clay anthropomorphic figurines, following a neuroarchaeological and cognitive approach, drawing on neurological studies regarding the function and neurological and mental sequalae of mirror neuron activation, as well as concepts of material engagement, and the use of the figurines as a form of shared exographic memory system. The figurines are thereby seen as vital active constituents of the cognitive processes taking place in these sites, facilitating and enhancing the cognitive preparation for –and participation in– the peak sanctuary performances. …”

Multi-camera video collaborative analysis method based on edge computing by Zhibo QI, Lei DU, Ru HUO, Fan YANG, Tao HUANG

“…In order to reduce the processing volume of multi-camera real-time video data in smart city scenarios, a video collaborative analysis method based on machine learning algorithms at the edge was proposed.Firstly, for the important objects detected by each camera, different key windows were designed to filter the region of interest (RoI) in the video, reduce the video data volume and extract its features.Then, based on the extracted data features, the same objects in the videos from different cameras were annotated, and a strategy for calculating the association degree value between cameras was designed for further reducing the video data volume.Finally, the GC-ReID algorithm based on graph convolutional network (GCN) and re-identification (ReID) was proposed, aiming at achieving the collaborative analysis of multi-camera videos.The experimental results show that proposed method can effectively reduce the system latency and improve the video compression rate while ensuring the high accuracy, compared with the existing video analysis methods.…”

Alternative transmission modes for Trypanosoma cruzi by Christopher M. Kribs-Zaleta

“…Vertical and oral transmission of sylvatic hosts, as well asdifferential behavior of infected vectors, have been observed anecdotally.This study develops a model which accounts for these alternative modes oftransmission, and applies it to transmission between raccoons and the vector Triatoma sanguisuga. Analysis of the system of nonlinear differentialequations focuses on endemic prevalence levels and on the infection's basicreproductive number, whose form may account for how a combination oftraditionally secondary infection routes can maintain the transmission cyclewhen the usual primary route becomes ineffective.…”
