• Authors: Zohreh Hajiakhondi-Meybodi, Ming Hou, Arash Mohammadi
• Abstract summary: Performance of UWB-based localization systems can significantly degrade because of Non Line of Sight (NLoS) connections between a mobile user and UWB beacons. We propose a Jump-start RL-based UWB NOde selection framework, which performs real-time location predictions without relying on complex NLoS identification/mitigation methods. The effectiveness of the proposed JUNO framework is evaluated in term of the location error, where the mobile user moves randomly through an ultra-dense indoor environment with a high chance of establishing NLoS connections.

• Abstract: Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is one of the key technologies empowering the Internet of Thing (IoT) concept to perform reliable, energy-efficient, and highly accurate monitoring, screening, and localization in indoor environments. Performance of UWB-based localization systems, however, can significantly degrade because of Non Line of Sight (NLoS) connections between a mobile user and UWB beacons. To mitigate the destructive effects of NLoS connections, we target development of a Reinforcement Learning (RL) anchor selection framework that can efficiently cope with the dynamic nature of indoor environments. Existing RL models in this context, however, lack the ability to generalize well to be used in a new setting. Moreover, it takes a long time for the conventional RL models to reach the optimal policy. To tackle these challenges, we propose the Jump-start RL-based Uwb NOde selection (JUNO) framework, which performs real-time location predictions without relying on complex NLoS identification/mitigation methods. The effectiveness of the proposed JUNO framework is evaluated in term of the location error, where the mobile user moves randomly through an ultra-dense indoor environment with a high chance of establishing NLoS connections. Simulation results corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed framework in comparison to its state-of-the-art counterparts.

  A novel adversarial imitation learning (GAIL)-powered policy learning approach is proposed for optimizing beamforming, spectrum allocation, and remote user equipment (RUE) association ins.

  Synchronous federated learning (FL) is a popular paradigm for collaborative edge learning. As some of the devices may have limited computational resources and varying availability, FL latency is highly sensitive to stragglers. We propose straggler-aware layer-wise federated learning (SALF) that leverages the optimization procedure of NNs via backpropagation to update the global model in a layer-wise fashion.

  Spiking neural networks have significant potential in robotics due to their high energy efficiency on specialized hardware. This paper introduces a novel modular ensemble network approach, where compact, localized spiking networks each learn and are solely responsible for recognizing places in a local region only. It comes with a high-performance cost where a lack of global regularization at deployment time leads to hyperactive neurons that erroneously respond to places outside their learned region. We evaluate this new scalable modular system on benchmark localization datasets Nordland and Oxford RobotCar, with comparisons to standard techniques NetVLAD, DenseVLAD, and SAD, and a previous spiking
