    Memory-enhanced text style transfer with dynamic style learning and calibration

    A model reduction approach for discrete-time linear time-variant systems with delayed inputs

    On the size generalizibility of graph neural networks for learning resource allocation

    查看更多>>摘要:Size generalization is important for learning resource allocation policies in wireless systems with time-varying scales.If a neural network for learning a wireless policy is not generalizable to the size of its input,it has to be re-trained whenever the system scale changes,which hinders its practical use due to the unaffordable training costs.Graph neural networks(GNNs)have been shown with size generalization ability empirically when optimizing resource allocation.Yet,are GNNs naturally size generalizable?In this paper,we argue that GNNs are not always size generalizable for resource allocation.We find that the aggregation and activation functions of the GNNs for learning a class of wireless policies play a key role in their size generalization ability.We take the GNN with the mean aggregator,called mean-GNN,as an example to reveal a size generalization condition.To demonstrate how to satisfy the condition,we learn power and bandwidth allocation policies for ultra-reliable low-latency communications and show that selecting or pre-training the activation function in the output layer of mean-GNN can make the GNN size generalizable.Simulation results validate our analysis and evaluate the performance of the learned policies.

    Impact of non-ideal UE hardware on cell-free massive MIMO network with centralized operation

    查看更多>>摘要:This paper investigates the impact of non-ideal user equipment(UE)hardware on a cell-free(CF)massive MIMO(mMIMO)network with centralized operation under spatially correlated channels.The minimum mean-squared error(MMSE)estimator can be derived with the help of the generic non-ideal UE hardware model.It is demonstrated that even if the effective signal-to-noise ratio approaches infinity,pilot contamination and imperfect hardware can cause a non-zero estimation error floor.After that,a lower bound is determined for the ergodic uplink capacity of the centralized CF mMIMO network under non-ideal UE hardware.Moreover,the optimal receive combining vector is obtained to maximize the uplink spectral efficiency(SE).The maximum ratio(MR)and regularized zero-forcing(RZF)combining schemes are offered as alternatives in light of the computational complexity of the MMSE receiver.Comparing the RZF to the MMSE scheme under different levels of hardware impairments,our findings indicate that the RZF receiver suffers a negligible loss in total SE.For MR combining,a novel closed-form uplink achievable SE expression is obtained based on the MMSE estimator and the use-and-then-forget bounding technique.This expression gives vital insights into the achievable uplink performance with UE hardware impairments.Besides,for various hardware impairment factors,the impact of pilot sequence length on average sum SE is disclosed for different receive combining schemes.To increase the overall SE of the max-min fairness scheme,a heuristic fractional power control scheme with UE hardware impairments is developed,which can essentially avoid sacrificing the SE of other UEs while maximizing the SE of the unluckiest UE in the whole network.Finally,our theoretical performance analysis and power control algorithm are validated by simulation results,and fundamental design guidelines are provided for selecting hardware satisfying the practical UE requirements.

    Gradient sparsification for efficient wireless federated learning with differential privacy

    查看更多>>摘要:Federated learning(FL)enables distributed clients to collaboratively train a machine learning model without sharing raw data with each other.However,it suffers from the leakage of private informa-tion from uploading models.In addition,as the model size grows,the training latency increases due to the limited transmission bandwidth and model performance degradation while using differential privacy(DP)protection.In this paper,we propose a gradient sparsification empowered FL framework with DP over wire-less channels,to improve training efficiency without sacrificing convergence performance.Specifically,we first design a random sparsification algorithm to retain a fraction of the gradient elements in each client's local model,thereby mitigating the performance degradation induced by DP and reducing the number of transmission parameters over wireless channels.Then,we analyze the convergence bound of the proposed algorithm,by modeling a non-convex FL problem.Next,we formulate a time-sequential stochastic optimiza-tion problem for minimizing the developed convergence bound,under the constraints of transmit power,the average transmitting delay,as well as the client's DP requirement.Utilizing the Lyapunov drift-plus-penalty framework,we develop an analytical solution to the optimization problem.Extensive experiments have been implemented on three real-life datasets to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.We show that our proposed algorithms can fully exploit the interworking between communication and computation to outperform the baselines,i.e.,random scheduling,round robin,and delay-minimization algorithms.

    查看更多>>摘要:Post-layout simulation provides accurate guidance for analog circuit design,but post-layout performance is hard to be directly optimized at early design stages.Prior work on analog circuit sizing often utilizes pre-layout simulation results as the optimization objective.In this work,we propose a post-layout-simulation-driven(post-simulation-driven for short)analog circuit sizing framework that directly optimizes the post-layout simulation performance.The framework integrates automated layout generation into the optimization loop of transistor sizing and leverages a coupled Bayesian optimization algorithm to search for the best post-simulation performance.Experimental results demonstrate that our framework can achieve over 20%better post-layout performance in competitive time than manual design and the method that only considers pre-layout optimization.

    查看更多>>摘要:An emerging direction of quantum computing is to establish meaningful quantum applications in various fields of artificial intelligence,including natural language processing(NLP).Although some efforts based on syntactic analysis have opened the door to research in quantum NLP(QNLP),limitations such as heavy syntactic preprocessing and syntax-dependent network architecture make them impracticable on larger and real-world data sets.In this paper,we propose a new simple network architecture,called the quantum self-attention neural network(QSANN),which can compensate for these limitations.Specifically,we introduce the self-attention mechanism into quantum neural networks and then utilize a Gaussian projected quantum self-attention serving as a sensible quantum version of self-attention.As a result,QSANN is effective and scalable on larger data sets and has the desirable property of being implementable on near-term quantum devices.In particular,our QSANN outperforms the best existing QNLP model based on syntactic analysis as well as a simple classical self-attention neural network in numerical experiments of text classification tasks on public data sets.We further show that our method exhibits robustness to low-level quantum noises and showcases resilience to quantum neural network architectures.

    查看更多>>摘要:Implementing quantum communication between space-separated local networks is essential for designing global quantum networks.In this study,we propose quantum teleportation and remote state preparation schemes between users of two space-separated local networks established by continuous-variable multipartite entangled states.In the proposed schemes,the quantum nodes belonging to the two distant local networks are first entangled by entanglement swapping,and then quantum communication protocols are realized.We show that quantum teleportation between any two users belonging to space-separated local networks can be realized with the assistance of other users,and squeezed thermal states can be remotely prepared in one local network by performing a homodyne projective measurement on the state in another distant local network.Our results provide a feasible approach for quantum communication between space-separated quantum networks with multipartite entangled states.
