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
ORGB: Offset Correction in RGB Color Space for Illumination-Robust Image Processing
Single materials have colors which form straight lines in RGB space. However,
in severe shadow cases, those lines do not intersect the origin, which is
inconsistent with the description of most literature. This paper is concerned
with the detection and correction of the offset between the intersection and
origin. First, we analyze the reason for forming that offset via an optical
imaging model. Second, we present a simple and effective way to detect and
remove the offset. The resulting images, named ORGB, have almost the same
appearance as the original RGB images while are more illumination-robust for
color space conversion. Besides, image processing using ORGB instead of RGB is
free from the interference of shadows. Finally, the proposed offset correction
method is applied to road detection task, improving the performance both in
quantitative and qualitative evaluations.Comment: Project website: https://baidut.github.io/ORGB
Radar-based Road User Classification and Novelty Detection with Recurrent Neural Network Ensembles
Radar-based road user classification is an important yet still challenging
task towards autonomous driving applications. The resolution of conventional
automotive radar sensors results in a sparse data representation which is tough
to recover by subsequent signal processing. In this article, classifier
ensembles originating from a one-vs-one binarization paradigm are enriched by
one-vs-all correction classifiers. They are utilized to efficiently classify
individual traffic participants and also identify hidden object classes which
have not been presented to the classifiers during training. For each classifier
of the ensemble an individual feature set is determined from a total set of 98
features. Thereby, the overall classification performance can be improved when
compared to previous methods and, additionally, novel classes can be identified
much more accurately. Furthermore, the proposed structure allows to give new
insights in the importance of features for the recognition of individual
classes which is crucial for the development of new algorithms and sensor
requirements.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figures, accepted paper for 2019 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles

A novel Big Data analytics and intelligent technique to predict driver's intent
Modern age offers a great potential for automatically predicting the driver's intent through the increasing miniaturization of computing technologies, rapid advancements in communication technologies and continuous connectivity of heterogeneous smart objects. Inside the cabin and engine of modern cars, dedicated computer systems need to possess the ability to exploit the wealth of information generated by heterogeneous data sources with different contextual and conceptual representations. Processing and utilizing this diverse and voluminous data, involves many challenges concerning the design of the computational technique used to perform this task. In this paper, we investigate the various data sources available in the car and the surrounding environment, which can be utilized as inputs in order to predict driver's intent and behavior. As part of investigating these potential data sources, we conducted experiments on e-calendars for a large number of employees, and have reviewed a number of available geo referencing systems. Through the results of a statistical analysis and by computing location recognition accuracy results, we explored in detail the potential utilization of calendar location data to detect the driver's intentions. In order to exploit the numerous diverse data inputs available in modern vehicles, we investigate the suitability of different Computational Intelligence (CI) techniques, and propose a novel fuzzy computational modelling methodology. Finally, we outline the impact of applying advanced CI and Big Data analytics techniques in modern vehicles on the driver and society in general, and discuss ethical and legal issues arising from the deployment of intelligent self-learning cars
