This paper aims to devise a generalized maximum likelihood (ML) estimator to robustly detect signals with unknown noise statistics in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. In practice, there is little or even no statistical knowledge on the system noise, which in many cases is non-Gaussian, impulsive and not analyzable. Existing detection methods have mainly focused on specific noise models, which are not robust enough with unknown noise statistics. To tackle this issue, we propose a novel ML detection framework to effectively recover the desired signal. Our framework is a fully probabilistic one that can efficiently approximate the unknown noise distribution through a normalizing flow. Importantly, this framework is driven by an unsupervised learning approach, where only the noise samples are required. To reduce the computational complexity, we further present a low-complexity version of the framework, by utilizing an initial estimation to reduce the search space. Simulation results show that our framework outperforms other existing algorithms in terms of bit error rate (BER) in non-analytical noise environments, while it can reach the ML performance bound in analytical noise environments.

In conventional supervised learning, a training dataset is given with ground-truth labels from a known label set, and the learned model will classify unseen instances to the known labels. In this paper, we study a new problem setting in which there are unknown classes in the training dataset misperceived as other labels, and thus their existence appears unknown from the given supervision. We attribute the unknown unknowns to the fact that the training dataset is badly advised by the incompletely perceived label space due to the insufficient feature information. To this end, we propose the exploratory machine learning, which examines and investigates the training dataset by actively augmenting the feature space to discover potentially unknown labels. Our approach consists of three ingredients including rejection model, feature acquisition, and model cascade. The effectiveness is validated on both synthetic and real datasets.
We propose a new machine-learning approach for fiber-optic communication systems whose signal propagation is governed by the nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE). Our main observation is that the popular split-step method (SSM) for numerically solving the NLSE has essentially the same functional form as a deep multi-layer neural network; in both cases, one alternates linear steps and pointwise nonlinearities. We exploit this connection by parameterizing the SSM and viewing the linear steps as general linear functions, similar to the weight matrices in a neural network. The resulting physics-based machine-learning model has several advantages over black-box function approximators. For example, it allows us to examine and interpret the learned solutions in order to understand why they perform well. As an application, low-complexity nonlinear equalization is considered, where the task is to efficiently invert the NLSE. This is commonly referred to as digital backpropagation (DBP). Rather than employing neural networks, the proposed algorithm, dubbed learned DBP (LDBP), uses the physics-based model with trainable filters in each step and its complexity is reduced by progressively pruning filter taps during gradient descent. Our main finding is that the filters can be pruned to remarkably short lengths-as few as 3 taps/step-without sacrificing performance. As a result, the complexity can be reduced by orders of magnitude in comparison to prior work. By inspecting the filter responses, an additional theoretical justification for the learned parameter configurations is provided. Our work illustrates that combining data-driven optimization with existing domain knowledge can generate new insights into old communications problems.
This letter introduces a new denoiser that modifies the structure of denoising autoencoder (DAE), namely noise learning based DAE (nlDAE). The proposed nlDAE learns the noise of the input data. Then, the denoising is performed by subtracting the regenerated noise from the noisy input. Hence, nlDAE is more effective than DAE when the noise is simpler to regenerate than the original data. To validate the performance of nlDAE, we provide three case studies: signal restoration, symbol demodulation, and precise localization. Numerical results suggest that nlDAE requires smaller latent space dimension and smaller training dataset compared to DAE.
Phase Modulation on the Hypersphere (PMH) is a power efficient modulation scheme for the textit{load-modulated} multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmitters with central power amplifiers (CPA). However, it is difficult to obtain the precise channel state information (CSI), and the traditional optimal maximum likelihood (ML) detection scheme incurs high complexity which increases exponentially with the number of antennas and the number of bits carried per antenna in the PMH modulation. To detect the PMH signals without knowing the prior CSI, we first propose a signal detection scheme, termed as the hypersphere clustering scheme based on the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm with maximum likelihood detection (HEM-ML). By leveraging machine learning, the proposed detection scheme can accurately obtain information of the channel from a few of the received symbols with little resource cost and achieve comparable detection results as that of the optimal ML detector. To further reduce the computational complexity in the ML detection in HEM-ML, we also propose the second signal detection scheme, termed as the hypersphere clustering scheme based on the EM algorithm with KD-tree detection (HEM-KD). The CSI obtained from the EM algorithm is used to build a spatial KD-tree receiver codebook and the signal detection problem can be transformed into a nearest neighbor search (NNS) problem. The detection complexity of HEM-KD is significantly reduced without any detection performance loss as compared to HEM-ML. Extensive simulation results verify the effectiveness of our proposed detection schemes.
Based on the notion of information bottleneck (IB), we formulate a quantization problem called IB quantization. We show that IB quantization is equivalent to learning based on the IB principle. Under this equivalence, the standard neural network models can be viewed as scalar (single sample) IB quantizers. It is known, from conventional rate-distortion theory, that scalar quantizers are inferior to vector (multi-sample) quantizers. Such a deficiency then inspires us to develop a novel learning framework, AgrLearn, that corresponds to vector IB quantizers for learning with neural networks. Unlike standard networks, AgrLearn simultaneously optimizes against multiple data samples. We experimentally verify that AgrLearn can result in significant improvements when applied to several current deep learning architectures for image recognition and text classification. We also empirically show that AgrLearn can reduce up to 80% of the training samples needed for ResNet training.
