• Abstract: A main challenge in target localization arises from the lack of reliable distance measures. This issue is especially pronounced in indoor settings due to the presence of walls, floors, furniture, and other dynamically changing conditions such as the movement of people and goods, varying temperature, and airflows. Here, we develop a new computational framework to estimate the location of a target without the need for reliable distance measures. The method, which we term Ordinal UNLOC, uses only ordinal data obtained from comparing the signal strength from anchor pairs at known locations to the target. Our estimation technique utilizes rank aggregation, function learning as well as proximity-based unfolding optimization. As a result, it yields accurate target localization for common transmission models with unknown parameters and noisy observations that are reminiscent of practical settings. Our results are validated by both numerical simulations and hardware experiments.

  Pre-training the embedding of a location generated from human mobility data has become a popular method for location based services. Previous studies have handled less than ten thousand distinct locations, which is insufficient in the real-world applications. We propose a Geo-Tokenizer, designed to efficiently reduce the number of locations to be trained by representing a location as a combination of several grids at different scales.

  Local gradient descent (SGD) is a fundamental approach in achieving communication efficiency in Federated Learning (FL) We introduce a novel metric called degree of divergence," quantifying the angle between the local gradient and the global reference direction. We propose the divergence-based adaptive aggregation (DRAG) algorithm, which dynamically drags" the received local updates toward the reference direction in each round without requiring extra communication overhead.

  We try to use locally connected Gaussian kernels to replace the original convolution filter to estimate the spatial position in the density map. Inspired by previous work, we propose a low-rank approximation accompanied with translation invariance to favorably implement the approximation of massive Gaussian convolution. Our methods significantly outperform other state-of-the-art methods and achieve promising learning of the spatial position of objects.
