• Authors: Mohamed I. AlHajri, Raed M. Shubair, Marwa Chafii
• Abstract summary: The development of highly accurate deep learning methods for indoor localization is often hindered by the unavailability of sufficient data measurements in the desired environment. This paper proposes a cross-environment approach that compensates for insufficient labelled measurements via a joint semi-supervised and transfer learning technique. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed cross-environment approach outperforms the conventional method, convolutional neural network (CNN) with a significant increase in localization accuracy, up to 43%.

• Abstract: The development of highly accurate deep learning methods for indoor localization is often hindered by the unavailability of sufficient data measurements in the desired environment to perform model training. To overcome the challenge of collecting costly measurements, this paper proposes a cross-environment approach that compensates for insufficient labelled measurements via a joint semi-supervised and transfer learning technique to transfer, in an appropriate manner, the model obtained from a rich-data environment to the desired environment for which data is limited. This is achieved via a sequence of operations that exploit the similarity across environments to enhance unlabelled data model training of the desired environment. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed cross-environment approach outperforms the conventional method, convolutional neural network (CNN), with a significant increase in localization accuracy, up to 43%. Moreover, with only 40% data measurements, the proposed cross-environment approach compensates for data inadequacy and replicates the localization accuracy of the conventional method, CNN, which uses 75% data measurements.

• Dense Air Pollution Estimation from Sparse in-situ Measurements and Satellite Data [6.206127662604578]
  This paper addresses the challenge of estimating ambient Nitrogen Dioxide (NO$$) concentrations, a key issue in public health and environmental policy. Existing methods for satellite-based air pollution estimation model the relationship between satellite and in-situ measurements at select point locations. Motivated by these limitations, this study introduces a novel dense estimation technique. By utilizing a uniformly random offset sampling strategy, our method disperses the ground truth data pixel location evenly across a larger patch. At inference, the dense estimation method can then generate a grid of estimates in a single step, significantly reducing the computational resources required to provide estimates for larger areas.

  Adapting pre-trained deep learning models to new and unknown environments is a difficult challenge in underwater acoustic localization. We show that although pre-trained models have performance that suffers from mismatch between the training and test data, they generally exhibit a higher implied uncertainty'' in environments where there is more mismatch. We use an efficient method to quantify model prediction uncertainty, and an innovative approach to adapt a pre-trained model to unseen underwater environments at test time.
