Thirty Years of Machine Learning: The Road to Pareto-Optimal Wireless Networks
Future wireless networks have a substantial potential in terms of supporting
a broad range of complex compelling applications both in military and civilian
fields, where the users are able to enjoy high-rate, low-latency, low-cost and
reliable information services. Achieving this ambitious goal requires new radio
techniques for adaptive learning and intelligent decision making because of the
complex heterogeneous nature of the network structures and wireless services.
Machine learning (ML) algorithms have great success in supporting big data
analytics, efficient parameter estimation and interactive decision making.
Hence, in this article, we review the thirty-year history of ML by elaborating
on supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning and deep
learning. Furthermore, we investigate their employment in the compelling
applications of wireless networks, including heterogeneous networks (HetNets),
cognitive radios (CR), Internet of things (IoT), machine to machine networks
(M2M), and so on. This article aims for assisting the readers in clarifying the
motivation and methodology of the various ML algorithms, so as to invoke them
for hitherto unexplored services as well as scenarios of future wireless
networks.Comment: 46 pages, 22 fig
How CMB and large-scale structure constrain chameleon interacting dark energy
We explore a chameleon type of interacting dark matter-dark energy scenario
in which a scalar field adiabatically traces the minimum of an effective
potential sourced by the dark matter density. We discuss extensively the effect
of this coupling on cosmological observables, especially the parameter
degeneracies expected to arise between the model parameters and other
cosmological parameters, and then test the model against observations of the
cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies and other cosmological probes.
We find that the chameleon parameters and , which determine
respectively the slope of the scalar field potential and the dark matter-dark
energy coupling strength, can be constrained to and using CMB data alone. The latter parameter in particular is constrained
only by the late Integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect. Adding measurements of the
local Hubble expansion rate tightens the bound on by a factor of
two, although this apparent improvement is arguably an artefact of the tension
between the local measurement and the value inferred from Planck data in
the minimal CDM model. The same argument also precludes chameleon
models from mimicking a dark radiation component, despite a passing similarity
between the two scenarios in that they both delay the epoch of matter-radiation
equality. Based on the derived parameter constraints, we discuss possible
signatures of the model for ongoing and future large-scale structure surveys.Comment: 25 pages, 6 figure
