Self-optimized Coverage Coordination in Femtocell Networks
This paper proposes a self-optimized coverage coordination scheme for
two-tier femtocell networks, in which a femtocell base station adjusts the
transmit power based on the statistics of the signal and the interference power
that is measured at a femtocell downlink. Furthermore, an analytic expression
is derived for the coverage leakage probability that a femtocell coverage area
leaks into an outdoor macrocell. The coverage analysis is verified by
simulation, which shows that the proposed scheme provides sufficient indoor
femtocell coverage and that the femtocell coverage does not leak into an
outdoor macrocell.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure
Towards Oracle Knowledge Distillation with Neural Architecture Search
We present a novel framework of knowledge distillation that is capable of
learning powerful and efficient student models from ensemble teacher networks.
Our approach addresses the inherent model capacity issue between teacher and
student and aims to maximize benefit from teacher models during distillation by
reducing their capacity gap. Specifically, we employ a neural architecture
search technique to augment useful structures and operations, where the
searched network is appropriate for knowledge distillation towards student
models and free from sacrificing its performance by fixing the network
capacity. We also introduce an oracle knowledge distillation loss to facilitate
model search and distillation using an ensemble-based teacher model, where a
student network is learned to imitate oracle performance of the teacher. We
perform extensive experiments on the image classification datasets---CIFAR-100
and TinyImageNet---using various networks. We also show that searching for a
new student model is effective in both accuracy and memory size and that the
searched models often outperform their teacher models thanks to neural
architecture search with oracle knowledge distillation.Comment: accepted by AAAI-2
High Levels of Sequence Diversity in the 5′ UTRs of Human-Specific L1 Elements
Approximately 80 long interspersed element (LINE-1 or L1) copies are able to retrotranspose actively in the human genome, and these are termed retrotransposition-competent L1s. The 5′ untranslated region (UTR) of the human-specific L1 contains an internal promoter and several transcription factor binding sites. To better understand the effect of the L1 5′ UTR on the evolution of human-specific L1s, we examined this population of elements, focusing on the sequence diversity and accumulated substitutions within their 5′ UTRs. Using network analysis, we estimated the age of each L1 component (the 5′ UTR, ORF1, ORF2, and 3′ UTR). Through the comparison of the L1 components based on their estimated ages, we found that the 5′ UTR of human-specific L1s accumulates mutations at a faster rate than the other components. To further investigate the L1 5′ UTR, we examined the substitution frequency per nucleotide position among them. The results showed that the L1 5′ UTRs shared relatively conserved transcription factor binding sites, despite their high sequence diversity. Thus, we suggest that the high level of sequence diversity in the 5′ UTRs could be one of the factors controlling the number of retrotransposition-competent L1s in the human genome during the evolutionary battle between L1s and their host genomes
Pain-contingent interruption and resumption of work goals: A within-day diary analysis
Daily pain-related attributions for and negative affective reactions to the non-pursuit of work goals and individual differences in chronic pain severity and stress were used to predict work goal resumption in a sample of 131 adults with chronic pain. Variables were assessed via questionnaires and a 21-day diary. On days when participants reported non-pursuit of work goals in the afternoon, increases in pain-related attributions for goal interruption were positively associated with higher negative affective reactions which, in turn, were associated with an increased likelihood of same-day work goal resumption. Stress amplified the relation between pain-related attributions and negative affective reactions, and chronic pain severity was positively related to work goal resumption
