Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are receiving increased attention because they mimic synaptic connections in biological systems and produce spike trains, which can be approximated by binary values for computational efficiency. Recently, the addition of convolutional layers to combine the feature extraction power of convolutional networks with the computational efficiency of SNNs has been introduced. This paper studies the feasibility of using a convolutional spiking neural network (CSNN) to detect anticipatory slow cortical potentials (SCPs) related to braking intention in human participants using an electroencephalogram (EEG). Data was collected during an experiment wherein participants operated a remote-controlled vehicle on a testbed …

The healthcare industry has transitioned from traditional healthcare 1.0 to AI-powered healthcare 4.0. However, overall cost for patient treatment remains high and challenging to manage due to the absence of a centralized cost evaluation mechanism before hospital visits. Therefore, in this paper, we devise a cloud-based mechanism to calculate hospitals' star rating based on questionnaire with the application of Z-score and K∗clustering algorithm. To evaluate disease severity at cloud, splitfed technique is utilized in coordination with Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN). Finally, the cloud calculates provisional treatment costs and finds a preferable hospital with a low payable treatment cost and …

Space AI has become increasingly important and sometimes even necessary for government, businesses, and society. An active research topic under this mission is integrating federated learning (FL) with satellite communications (SatCom) so that numerous low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites can collaboratively train a machine learning model. However, the special communication environment of SatCom leads to a very slow FL training process up to days and weeks. This paper proposes NomaFedHAP, a novel FL-SatCom approach tailored to LEO satellites, that (1) utilizes high-altitude platforms (HAPs) as distributed parameter servers (PSs) to enhance satellite visibility, and (2) introduces non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) …

Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs) are an effective technology for improving the efficiency and productivity in many industrial domains and are also the building blocks for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). To support this trend, the IEEE has defined the 802.5.4 Time-Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) protocol. Unfortunately, TSCH does not provide any mechanism to manage node mobility, while many current industrial applications involve Mobile Nodes (MNs), e.g., mobile robots or wearable devices carried by workers. In this article, we present a framework to efficiently manage mobility in TSCH networks, by proposing an enhanced version of the Synchronized Single-hop …

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can capture pictures of road conditions in all directions and from different angles by carrying high-definition cameras, which helps gather relevant road data more effectively. However, due to their limited energy capacity, drones face challenges in performing related tasks for an extended period. Therefore, a crucial concern is how to plan the path of UAVs and minimize energy consumption. To address this problem, we propose a multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient based (MADDPG) algorithm for UAV path planning (MAUP). Considering the energy consumption and memory usage of MAUP, we have conducted optimizations to reduce consumption on …

In dynamic networks, where continuous topological changes are prevalent, it becomes paramount to find and update different graph properties without the computational burden of recalculating from the ground up. However finding or updating a multi-objective shortest path (MOSP) in such a network is challenging, as it involves simultaneously optimizing multiple (conflicting) objectives. In light of this, our paper focuses on shortest path search and proposes parallel algorithms tailored specifically for large incremental graphs. We first present an efficient algorithm that updates the single-objective shortest path (SOSP) whenever a new set of edges are introduced. Leveraging this SOSP update algorithm, we …

Route Planning Systems (RPS) are a core component of autonomous personal transport systems essential for safe and efficient navigation of dynamic urban environments with the support of edge-based smart city infrastructure, but they also raise concerns about user route privacy in the context of both privately owned and commercial vehicles. Numerous high-profile data breaches in recent years have fortunately motivated research on privacy preserving RPS, but most of them are rendered impractical by greatly increased communication and processing overhead. We address this by proposing an approach called Hierarchical Privacy-Preserving Route Planning (HPRoP), which divides and distributes the route-planning task across …

Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have demonstrated good accuracy and speed in spatially registering high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) images. However, some functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) images, e.g., those acquired from arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion fMRI, are of intrinsically low SNR and therefore the quality of registering ASL images using CNN is not clear. In this work, we aimed to explore the feasibility of a CNN-based affine registration network (ARN) for registration of low-SNR three-dimensional ASL perfusion image time series and compare its performance with that from the state-of-the-art statistical parametric mapping (SPM) algorithm.

Depression is a common mental health disorder that can cause consequential symptoms with continuously depressed mood that leads to emotional distress. One category of depression is Concealed Depression, where patients intentionally or unintentionally hide their genuine emotions through exterior optimism, thereby complicating and delaying diagnosis and treatment and leading to unexpected suicides. In this article, we propose to diagnose concealed depression by using facial micro-expressions (FMEs) to detect and recognize underlying true emotions. However, the extremely low intensity and subtle nature of FMEs make their recognition a tough task. We propose a facial landmark-based Region-of-Interest (ROI) approach to address the …

In the last few years, Federated Learning (FL) has received extensive attention from the research community because of its capability for privacy-preserving, collaborative learning from heterogeneous data sources. Most FL studies focus on either average performance improvement or the robustness to attacks, while some attempt to solve both jointly. However, the performance disparities across clients in the presence of attackers have largely been unexplored. In this work, we propose a novel Fair Federated Learning scheme with Attacker Detection capability (abbreviated as FFL+AD) to minimize performance discrepancies across benign participants. FFL+AD enables the server to identify attackers and learn their malign …

Serverless computing has been favored by users and infrastructure providers from various industries, including online services and scientific computing. Users enjoy its auto-scaling and ease-of-management, and providers own more control to optimize their service. However, existing serverless platforms still require users to pre-define resource allocations for their functions, leading to frequent misconfiguration by inexperienced users in practice. Besides, functions' varying input data further escalate the gap between their dynamic resource demands and static allocations, leaving functions either over-provisioned or under-provisioned. This paper presents Libra, a safe and timely resource harvesting framework for multi-node serverless clusters. Libra makes precise harvesting decisions …

The volume of vehicular network traffic is very context (time and geographic location) and technology-dependent. Considering both multi-hop geocast and single-hop broadcast techniques, the route availability can be affected by transient and permanent traffic variations. Therefore, our research tackles one of the most pressing challenges in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs), i.e., accommodating fine-grained spatio-temporal variance in vehicular density over time and space. This article proposes a new framework called SpTFrame to achieve fast message dissemination. The proposed approach uses a software-defined vehicular networks (SDVNs) architecture along with a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) model. SpTFrame employs a convolutional neural network (CNN) …
