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
Interaction-aware Kalman Neural Networks for Trajectory Prediction
Forecasting the motion of surrounding obstacles (vehicles, bicycles,
pedestrians and etc.) benefits the on-road motion planning for intelligent and
autonomous vehicles. Complex scenes always yield great challenges in modeling
the patterns of surrounding traffic. For example, one main challenge comes from
the intractable interaction effects in a complex traffic system. In this paper,
we propose a multi-layer architecture Interaction-aware Kalman Neural Networks
(IaKNN) which involves an interaction layer for resolving high-dimensional
traffic environmental observations as interaction-aware accelerations, a motion
layer for transforming the accelerations to interaction aware trajectories, and
a filter layer for estimating future trajectories with a Kalman filter network.
Attributed to the multiple traffic data sources, our end-to-end trainable
approach technically fuses dynamic and interaction-aware trajectories boosting
the prediction performance. Experiments on the NGSIM dataset demonstrate that
IaKNN outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of effectiveness for
traffic trajectory prediction.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, Accepted for IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium

Environmental Sensing by Wearable Device for Indoor Activity and Location Estimation
We present results from a set of experiments in this pilot study to
investigate the causal influence of user activity on various environmental
parameters monitored by occupant carried multi-purpose sensors. Hypotheses with
respect to each type of measurements are verified, including temperature,
humidity, and light level collected during eight typical activities: sitting in
lab / cubicle, indoor walking / running, resting after physical activity,
climbing stairs, taking elevators, and outdoor walking. Our main contribution
is the development of features for activity and location recognition based on
environmental measurements, which exploit location- and activity-specific
characteristics and capture the trends resulted from the underlying
physiological process. The features are statistically shown to have good
separability and are also information-rich. Fusing environmental sensing
together with acceleration is shown to achieve classification accuracy as high
as 99.13%. For building applications, this study motivates a sensor fusion
paradigm for learning individualized activity, location, and environmental
preferences for energy management and user comfort.Comment: submitted to the 40th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial

RGB-D-based Action Recognition Datasets: A Survey
Human action recognition from RGB-D (Red, Green, Blue and Depth) data has
attracted increasing attention since the first work reported in 2010. Over this
period, many benchmark datasets have been created to facilitate the development
and evaluation of new algorithms. This raises the question of which dataset to
select and how to use it in providing a fair and objective comparative
evaluation against state-of-the-art methods. To address this issue, this paper
provides a comprehensive review of the most commonly used action recognition
related RGB-D video datasets, including 27 single-view datasets, 10 multi-view
datasets, and 7 multi-person datasets. The detailed information and analysis of
these datasets is a useful resource in guiding insightful selection of datasets
for future research. In addition, the issues with current algorithm evaluation
vis-\'{a}-vis limitations of the available datasets and evaluation protocols
are also highlighted; resulting in a number of recommendations for collection
of new datasets and use of evaluation protocols
