Heterogeneous federated bidirectional knowledge distillation transfer semi-supervised modulation recognition by Peihan QI, Yuanlei DING, Kai YIN, Jiabo XU, Zan LI

“…The large-scale deployment and rapid development of the new generation mobile communication system underpin the widespread application of a massive and diverse range of Internet of things (IoT) devices.However, the distributed application of IoT devices results to significant disparities in private data and substantial heterogeneity in local processing models, which severely limits the aggregation capability of global intelligent model.Therefore, to tackle the challenges of data heterogeneity, model heterogeneity, and insufficient labeling faced by intelligent modulation recognition in cognitive IoT, an algorithm was proposed for heterogeneous federated bidirectional semi-supervised modulation recognition, which incorporated bidirectional knowledge distillation.In the proposed algorithm, a public pseudo dataset was generated by variational autoencoder in the cloud for supporting uplink global knowledge distillation, and adaptively sharing to the local devices for downlink heterogeneous knowledge distillation, while integrating a semi-supervised algorithm within the distillation process.The simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm outperforms current federated learning algorithms in terms of effectiveness and applicability in the field of communication signal processing.…”

Experiences of female journalists in Zimbabwean male-dominated newsrooms by Lyton Ncube

“… Baseline surveys on the gender distribution in Zimbabwe’s media industry indicate a male dominance in newsrooms in general, as well as in media leadership positions. This gender disparity reflects the persistence of patriarchy and heteronormative beliefs in the Zimbabwean society, despite the country’s constitution upholding gender mainstreaming and principles of equality. …”

Human studies and user studies: a call for methodological inter-disciplinarity (Brenda Dervin) by Brenda Dervin

“…For library and information science, which as a field has traditionally drawn on multi-disciplinary sources, the author cautions that as the field sets itself to the task of assisting the inter-disciplinary needs of its constituencies, it is especially important that the field also attend to inter-disciplinary needs within its own walls, between its many disparate and disconnected discourse communities.…”

The concept of robusticity in (palaeo-) anthropology and its broad range of application: a short review by Tony Chevalier

“…For example, some authors evaluate bone hypertrophy/reinforcement from a biomechanical approach, and scaled variables based on body size or baseline load; other authors refer to crests, tori, ridges and rugosities. The disparately used term robusticity also includes criteria representing nothing more than bone size (i.e., non-scaled variables) and shape. …”

O imprescindível acesso à internet no campo: a capilarização da informação no Brasil e na França by Mait Bertollo

“…An analysis of the players involved in the development, dissemination and connection of these systems and their impact on agricultural production can provide answers on the use of IoT in the Brazilian countryside and also in the French countryside, in the second step, as a possibility to mitigate the disparities between large and small producers through the dissemination and trivialization of the use of information technologies and internet infrastructures in the context of family farming, taking advantage of the diverse knowledge of small and medium-sized producers, actions in cooperatives and the strengthening of food production and agroecology.…”
