• Abstract: Path loss modeling is a widely used technique for estimating point-to-point losses along a communications link from transmitter (Tx) to receiver (Rx). Accurate path loss predictions can optimize use of the radio frequency spectrum and minimize unwanted interference. Modern path loss modeling often leverages data-driven approaches, using machine learning to train models on drive test measurement datasets. Drive tests primarily represent downlink scenarios, where the Tx is located on a building and the Rx is located on a moving vehicle. Consequently, trained models are frequently reserved for downlink coverage estimation, lacking representation of uplink scenarios. In this paper, we demonstrate that data augmentation can be used to train a path loss model that is generalized to uplink, downlink, and backhaul scenarios, training using only downlink drive test measurements. By adding a small number of synthetic samples representing uplink scenarios to the training set, root mean squared error is reduced by >8 dB on uplink examples in the test set.

  This paper addresses the problem of estimating link flows in a road network by combining limited traffic volume and vehicle trajectory data. We propose a novel generative modelling framework, where we formulate the link-to-link movements of a vehicle as a sequential decision-making problem. To ensure the generated population vehicle trajectories are consistent with the observed traffic volume and trajectory data, two methods based on Inverse Reinforcement Learning and Constrained Reinforcement Learning are proposed.

  We focus on a specific use case in anomaly detection where the distribution of normal samples is supported by a lower-dimensional manifold. We adapt a self-supervised learning regime that exploits discriminative information during training but focuses on the submanifold of normal examples. We achieve a new state-of-the-art result on the MVTec AD dataset -- a challenging benchmark for visual anomaly detection in the manufacturing domain.
