Target informed client recruitment for efficient federated learning in healthcare by Vincent Scheltjens, Lyse Naomi Wamba Momo, Wouter Verbeke, Bart De Moor

“…Conclusions By expressing the representativeness of clients in function of the deviation in the local target distribution, the sample size and efficiency of the underlying hardware, we are able to define a recruitment approach that yields a subset of clients for the federation resulting in significantly reduced training time, without harming predictive performance, whilst improving the privacy preserving characteristics compared to the standard FL and central approaches.…”

SIM-IPS: Stacked Intelligent Metasurface-Based Indoor Positioning System by Aisha Javed, Naveed Ul Hassan, Marco Di Renzo, Chau Yuen

“…In this paper, we introduce a stacked intelligent metasurface-based indoor positioning system (SIM-IPS), which is a novel IPS developed using an SIM, a transmissive metasurface with multiple layers of independently controlled meta-atoms. These layers function analogously to the hidden layers in a deep neural network (DNN) and enable advanced beamforming in the electromagnetic (EM) wave domain, thus improving the control of the power distribution at the receiver plane. …”
