5G Positioning and Mapping with Diffuse Multipath
5G mmWave communication is useful for positioning due to the geometric
connection between the propagation channel and the propagation environment.
Channel estimation methods can exploit the resulting sparsity to estimate
parameters(delay and angles) of each propagation path, which in turn can be
exploited for positioning and mapping. When paths exhibit significant spread in
either angle or delay, these methods breakdown or lead to significant biases.
We present a novel tensor-based method for channel estimation that allows
estimation of mmWave channel parameters in a non-parametric form. The method is
able to accurately estimate the channel, even in the absence of a specular
component. This in turn enables positioning and mapping using only diffuse
multipath. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the efficacy of the
proposed approach
Joint Tensor Factorization and Outlying Slab Suppression with Applications
We consider factoring low-rank tensors in the presence of outlying slabs.
This problem is important in practice, because data collected in many
real-world applications, such as speech, fluorescence, and some social network
data, fit this paradigm. Prior work tackles this problem by iteratively
selecting a fixed number of slabs and fitting, a procedure which may not
converge. We formulate this problem from a group-sparsity promoting point of
view, and propose an alternating optimization framework to handle the
corresponding () minimization-based low-rank tensor
factorization problem. The proposed algorithm features a similar per-iteration
complexity as the plain trilinear alternating least squares (TALS) algorithm.
Convergence of the proposed algorithm is also easy to analyze under the
framework of alternating optimization and its variants. In addition,
regularization and constraints can be easily incorporated to make use of
\emph{a priori} information on the latent loading factors. Simulations and real
data experiments on blind speech separation, fluorescence data analysis, and
social network mining are used to showcase the effectiveness of the proposed
algorithm
Tensor Analysis and Fusion of Multimodal Brain Images
Current high-throughput data acquisition technologies probe dynamical systems
with different imaging modalities, generating massive data sets at different
spatial and temporal resolutions posing challenging problems in multimodal data
fusion. A case in point is the attempt to parse out the brain structures and
networks that underpin human cognitive processes by analysis of different
neuroimaging modalities (functional MRI, EEG, NIRS etc.). We emphasize that the
multimodal, multi-scale nature of neuroimaging data is well reflected by a
multi-way (tensor) structure where the underlying processes can be summarized
by a relatively small number of components or "atoms". We introduce
Markov-Penrose diagrams - an integration of Bayesian DAG and tensor network
notation in order to analyze these models. These diagrams not only clarify
matrix and tensor EEG and fMRI time/frequency analysis and inverse problems,
but also help understand multimodal fusion via Multiway Partial Least Squares
and Coupled Matrix-Tensor Factorization. We show here, for the first time, that
Granger causal analysis of brain networks is a tensor regression problem, thus
allowing the atomic decomposition of brain networks. Analysis of EEG and fMRI
recordings shows the potential of the methods and suggests their use in other
scientific domains.Comment: 23 pages, 15 figures, submitted to Proceedings of the IEE
