A novel approach is presented in this work for context-aware connectivity and processing optimization of Internet of things (IoT) networks. Different from the state-of-the-art approaches, the proposed approach simultaneously selects the best connectivity and processing unit (e.g., device, fog, and cloud) along with the percentage of data to be offloaded by jointly optimizing energy consumption, response-time, security, and monetary cost. The proposed scheme employs a reinforcement learning algorithm, and manages to achieve significant gains compared to deterministic solutions. In particular, the requirements of IoT devices in terms of response-time and security are taken as inputs along with the remaining battery level of the devices, and the developed algorithm returns an optimized policy. The results obtained show that only our method is able to meet the holistic multi-objective optimisation criteria, albeit, the benchmark approaches may achieve better results on a particular metric at the cost of failing to reach the other targets. Thus, the proposed approach is a device-centric and context-aware solution that accounts for the monetary and battery constraints.

Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) has been recently employed to reshape the wireless channels by controlling individual scattering elements phase shifts, namely, passive beamforming. Due to the large size of scattering elements, the passive beamforming is typically challenged by the high computational complexity and inexact channel information. In this article, we focus on machine learning (ML) approaches for performance maximization in IRS-assisted wireless networks. In general, ML approaches provide enhanced flexibility and robustness against uncertain information and imprecise modeling. Practical challenges still remain mainly due to the demand for a large dataset in offline training and slow convergence in online learning. These observations motivate us to design a novel optimization-driven ML framework for IRS-assisted wireless networks, which takes both advantages of the efficiency in model-based optimization and the robustness in model-free ML approaches. By splitting the decision variables into two parts, one part is obtained by the outer-loop ML approach, while the other part is optimized efficiently by solving an approximate problem. Numerical results verify that the optimization-driven ML approach can improve both the convergence and the reward performance compared to conventional model-free learning approaches.
Making a single network effectively address diverse contexts---learning the variations within a dataset or multiple datasets---is an intriguing step towards achieving generalized intelligence. Existing approaches of deepening, widening, and assembling networks are not cost effective in general. In view of this, networks which can allocate resources according to the context of the input and regulate flow of information across the network are effective. In this paper, we present Context-Aware Multipath Network (CAMNet), a multi-path neural network with data-dependant routing between parallel tensors. We show that our model performs as a generalized model capturing variations in individual datasets and multiple different datasets, both simultaneously and sequentially. CAMNet surpasses the performance of classification and pixel-labeling tasks in comparison with the equivalent single-path, multi-path, and deeper single-path networks, considering datasets individually, sequentially, and in combination. The data-dependent routing between tensors in CAMNet enables the model to control the flow of information end-to-end, deciding which resources to be common or domain-specific.
Non-intrusive load monitoring addresses the challenging task of decomposing the aggregate signal of a households electricity consumption into appliance-level data without installing dedicated meters. By detecting load malfunction and recommending energy reduction programs, cost-effective non-intrusive load monitoring provides intelligent demand-side management for utilities and end users. In this paper, we boost the accuracy of energy disaggregation with a novel neural network structure named scale- and context-aware network, which exploits multi-scale features and contextual information. Specifically, we develop a multi-branch architecture with multiple receptive field sizes and branch-wise gates that connect the branches in the sub-networks. We build a self-attention module to facilitate the integration of global context, and we incorporate an adversarial loss and on-state augmentation to further improve the models performance. Extensive simulation results tested on open datasets corroborate the merits of the proposed approach, which significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
Wireless federated learning (FL) is an emerging machine learning paradigm that trains a global parametric model from distributed datasets via wireless communications. This paper proposes a unit-modulus wireless FL (UMWFL) framework, which simultaneously uploads local model parameters and computes global model parameters via optimized phase shifting. The proposed framework avoids sophisticated baseband signal processing, leading to both low communication delays and implementation costs. A training loss bound is derived and a penalty alternating minimization (PAM) algorithm is proposed to minimize the nonconvex nonsmooth loss bound. Experimental results in the Car Learning to Act (CARLA) platform show that the proposed UMWFL framework with PAM algorithm achieves smaller training losses and testing errors than those of the benchmark scheme.
As we are about to embark upon the highly hyped Society 5.0, powered by the Internet of Things (IoT), traditional ways to monitor human heart signals for tracking cardio-vascular conditions are challenging, particularly in remote healthcare settings. On the merits of low power consumption, portability, and non-intrusiveness, there are no suitable IoT solutions that can provide information comparable to the conventional Electrocardiography (ECG). In this paper, we propose an IoT device utilizing a spintronic ultra-sensitive sensor that measures the magnetic fields produced by cardio-vascular electrical activity, i.e. Magentocardiography (MCG). After that, we treat the low-frequency noise generated by the sensors, which is also a challenge for most other sensors dealing with low-frequency bio-magnetic signals. Instead of relying on generic signal processing techniques such as averaging or filtering, we employ deep-learning training on bio-magnetic signals. Using an existing dataset of ECG records, MCG labels are synthetically constructed. A unique deep learning structure composed of combined Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) is trained using the labeled data moving through a striding window, which is able to smartly capture and eliminate the noise features. Simulation results are reported to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method that demonstrates encouraging performance.
