Intelligent search enables users to access information from the Internet quickly, but existing schemes fail to achieve accurate semantic awareness and reliable information transmission, especially in constrained communication conditions, which degrade search accuracy and personalized user experience. To address these challenges, we propose a multi-user semantic communication system to perform pers...Show More
Near-space information networks (NSINs) composed of high-altitude platforms (HAPs) and high-and low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are a new regime for providing quick, robust, and cost-efficient sensing and communication services. Precipitated by innovations and breakthroughs in manufacturing, materials, communications, electronics, and control techniques, NSINs have been envisioned as ...Show More
Non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are integrated with terrestrial networks to form space-air-ground integrated networks (SAGINs), providing seamless global coverage and supporting the development of the digital economy. However, when it comes to the actual design and deployment of SAGINs, the heterogeneity, self-organization, and flexibility of SAGIN pose challenges for precise modeling and quantita...Show More
Residential load forecasting (RLF) is crucial for resource scheduling in power systems. Most existing methods use all given load records (dense data) to indiscriminately extract the dependencies between historical and future time series. However, there exist important regular patterns residing in the event-related associations among different appliances (sparse knowledge), which have yet been igno...Show More
The balance between accuracy and computational efficiency is crucial for the applications of deep learning-based stereo matching algorithms in real-world scenarios. Since matching cost aggregation is usually the most computationally expensive component, a common practice is to construct cost volumes at a low resolution for aggregation and then directly regress a high-resolution disparity map. Howe...Show More
This review delves into the applications and prospects of nonterrestrial networks (NTNs) in the field of information and communication. NTNs utilize aerial or space platforms as critical components of the communication network, including high-altitude unmanned systems, low-altitude unmanned systems, and satellites. Compared to traditional terrestrial cellular networks, NTNs offer advantages, such ...Show More
This research proposes a stacking machine learning method to accurately predict the compressive strength of recycled concrete. The model integrates eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Extra Trees (ET), Decision Tree (DT), and Linear Regression (LR) models, aiming to maximize the prediction accuracy of concrete compressive strength. The model was evaluated using a combination of 63 self-made recyc...Show More
Federated learning, as a promising distributed learning paradigm, enables collaborative training of a global model across multiple network edge clients without the need for central data collecting. However, the heterogeneity of edge data distribution drags the model towards the local minima, which can be distant from the global optimum. Such heterogeneity often leads to slow convergence and substa...Show More
Zero-Shot Sketch-Based Image Retrieval (ZS-SBIR) has always been a hard nut to crack due to the scarcity of sketch data and the abstract visual information contained in sketches. Previous works focus on designing various network architectures and using the gold standard triplet loss to solve ZS-SBIR, but they have always encountered obstacles in enhancing model generalization and extracting abstra...Show More
Robust Topology is a key prerequisite to providing consistent connectivity for highly dynamic Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications that are suffering node failures. In this paper, we present a two-step approach to organizing the most robust IoT topology. First, we propose a novel robustness metric denoted as $I$I, which is based on network motifs and is specifically designed to sensitively analyz...Show More
A long-standing problem remains with the heterogeneous clients in Federated Learning (FL), who often have diverse gains and requirements for the trained model, while their contributions are hard to evaluate due to the privacy-preserving training. Existing works mainly rely on single-dimension metric to calculate clients' contributions as aggregation weights, which however may damage the social fai...Show More
Internet of vehicles (IoVs) will require massive high data rate connections with the base station (BS) to provide promising vehicular entertainment services, such as autonomous driving and traffic management. However, vehicles often encounter obstruction from buildings while traveling in urban areas, resulting in blocked direct links between the BS and the vehicle, thereby impacting the channel qu...Show More
Super-resolution is a promising solution to improve the quality of experience (QoE) for cloud-based video streaming when the network resources between clients and the cloud vendors become scarce. Specifically, the received video can be enhanced with a trained super-resolution model running on the client-side. However, all the existing solutions ignore the content-induced performance variability of...Show More
