A Novel Multi-Server Federated Learning Framework in Vehicular Edge Computing by Fateme Mazloomi, Shahram Shah Heydari, Khalil El-Khatib

“…Federated learning (FL) has emerged as a powerful approach for privacy-preserving model training in autonomous vehicle networks, where real-world deployments rely on multiple roadside units (RSUs) serving heterogeneous clients with intermittent connectivity. While most research focuses on single-server or hierarchical cloud-based FL, multi-server FL can alleviate the communication bottlenecks of traditional setups. …”

Enhancing Digital Twin Fidelity Through Low-Discrepancy Sequence and Hilbert Curve-Driven Point Cloud Down-Sampling by Yuening Ma, Liang Guo, Min Li

“…Unlike traditional methods that impose uniform density or rely on computationally intensive feature detection, our LDS-Hilbert approach leverages the complementary mathematical properties of Low-Discrepancy Sequences and space-filling curves to achieve balanced sampling that respects the original density distribution while ensuring comprehensive coverage. Through four comprehensive experiments covering parametric surface fitting, mesh reconstruction from basic closed geometries, complex CAD models, and real-world laser scans, we demonstrate that LDS-Hilbert consistently outperforms established methods, including Simple Random Sampling (SRS), Farthest Point Sampling (FPS), and Voxel Grid Filtering (Voxel). …”

Analysis of the temporal and spatial evolution of China's air passenger transportation and the impact of policies on passenger flows. by Chen Luo, Tianshun Ma, Min Wang, Xinrong Hu, Chunyang Liu, Xutong Wang

“…Three key conclusions emerge from the analysis. First, while the spatial distribution of air passenger traffic predominantly aligns with a northeast-southwest axis, the strengthened north-south directional influence (reflected in the increased major-to-minor axis ratio of the SDE) indicates a bidirectional expansion of air transport coverage. …”
