• Abstract summary: We propose two machine learning (ML) methods to mitigate the effect of sensor failures and maintain the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation performance and resolution. The first method enhances the conventional spatial smoothing using deep neural network (DNN), while the second one is an end-to-end data-driven method. Numerical results show that both approaches can significantly improve the performance of MRA with two failed sensors.

• Abstract: In this paper, we address the problem of direction of arrival (DOA) estimation for multiple targets in the presence of sensor failures in a sparse array. Generally, sparse arrays are known with very high-resolution capabilities, where N physical sensors can resolve up to $\mathcal{O}(N^2)$ uncorrelated sources. However, among the many configurations introduced in the literature, the arrays that provide the largest hole-free co-array are the most susceptible to sensor failures. We propose here two machine learning (ML) methods to mitigate the effect of sensor failures and maintain the DOA estimation performance and resolution. The first method enhances the conventional spatial smoothing using deep neural network (DNN), while the second one is an end-to-end data-driven method. Numerical results show that both approaches can significantly improve the performance of MRA with two failed sensors. The data-driven method can maintain the performance of the array with no failures at high signal-tonoise ratio (SNR). Moreover, both approaches can even perform better than the original array at low SNR thanks to the denoising effect of the proposed DNN

• Detecting Rotated Objects as Gaussian Distributions and Its 3-D Generalization [81.29406957201458]
  Existing detection methods commonly use a parameterized bounding box (BBox) to model and detect (horizontal) objects. We argue that such a mechanism has fundamental limitations in building an effective regression loss for rotation detection. We propose to model the rotated objects as Gaussian distributions. We extend our approach from 2-D to 3-D with a tailored algorithm design to handle the heading estimation.

• Towards Lossless ANN-SNN Conversion under Ultra-Low Latency with Dual-Phase Optimization [30.098268054714048]
  Spiking neural networks (SNNs) operating with asynchronous discrete events show higher energy efficiency with sparse computation. A popular approach for implementing deep SNNs is ANN-SNN conversion combining both efficient training of ANNs and efficient inference of SNNs. In this paper, we first identify that such performance degradation stems from the misrepresentation of the negative or overflow residual membrane potential in SNNs. Inspired by this, we decompose the conversion error into three parts: quantization error, clipping error, and residual membrane potential representation error.

  In this paper, we argue that one effective alternative is to devise an approximate loss who can achieve trend-level alignment with SkewIoU loss. Specifically, we model the objects as Gaussian distribution and adopt Kalman filter to inherently mimic the mechanism of SkewIoU. The resulting new loss called KFIoU is easier to implement and works better compared with exact SkewIoU.
