• Abstract: This paper investigates the grant-free random access with massive IoT devices. By embedding the data symbols in the signature sequences, joint device activity detection and data decoding can be achieved, which, however, significantly increases the computational complexity. Coordinate descent algorithms that enjoy a low per-iteration complexity have been employed to solve the detection problem, but previous works typically employ a random coordinate selection policy which leads to slow convergence. In this paper, we develop multi-armed bandit approaches for more efficient detection via coordinate descent, which make a delicate trade-off between exploration and exploitation in coordinate selection. Specifically, we first propose a bandit based strategy, i.e., Bernoulli sampling, to speed up the convergence rate of coordinate descent, by learning which coordinates will result in more aggressive descent of the objective function. To further improve the convergence rate, an inner multi-armed bandit problem is established to learn the exploration policy of Bernoulli sampling. Both convergence rate analysis and simulation results are provided to show that the proposed bandit based algorithms enjoy faster convergence rates with a lower time complexity compared with the state-of-the-art algorithm. Furthermore, our proposed algorithms are applicable to different scenarios, e.g., massive random access with low-precision analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).

  We propose a new distance-based algorithm called bagged regularized $k$-distances for anomaly detection (BRDAD) Our BRDAD algorithm selects the weights by minimizing the surrogate risk, i.e., the finite sample bound of the empirical risk of the bagged weighted $k$-distances for density estimation (BWDDE) On the theoretical side, we establish fast convergence rates of the AUC regret of our algorithm and demonstrate that the bagging technique significantly reduces the computational complexity.

  Big data, including applications with high security requirements, are often collected and stored on multiple heterogeneous devices, such as mobile devices, drones and vehicles. Due to the limitations of communication costs and security requirements, it is of paramount importance to extract information in a decentralized manner instead of aggregating data to a fusion center. We consider the problem of learning model parameters in a multi-agent system with data locally processed via distributed edge nodes. A class of mini-batch alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithms is explored to develop the distributed learning model.
