Morlet wavelet transform using attenuated sliding Fourier transform and kernel integral for graphic processing unit

Abstract

Morlet or Gabor wavelet transforms as well as Gaussian smoothing, are widely used in signal processing and image processing. However, the computational complexity of their direct calculations is proportional not only to the number of data points in a signal but also to the smoothing size, which is the standard deviation in the Gaussian function in their transform functions. Thus, when the standard deviation is large, its considerable computation time diminishes the advantages of aforementioned transforms. Therefore, it is important to formulate an algorithm to reduce the calculation time of the transformations. In this paper, we first review calculation methods of Gaussian smoothing by using the sliding Fourier transform (SFT) and our proposed attenuated SFT (ASFT) \cite{YamashitaICPR2020}. Based on these methods, we propose two types of calculation methods for Morlet wavelet transforms. We also propose an algorithm to calculate SFT using the kernel integral on graphic processing unit (GPU). When the number of calculation cores in GPU is not less than the number of data points, the order of its calculation time is the logarithm of the smoothing size and does not depend on the number of data points. Using experiments, we compare the two methods for calculating the Morlet wavelet transform and evaluate the calculation time of the proposed algorithm using a kernel integral on GPU. For example, when the number of data points and the standard deviation are 102400 and 8192.0, respectively, the calculation time of the Morlet wavelet transform by the proposed method is 0.545 ms, which 413.6 times faster than a conventional method. (In this version, mistakes in fitures are corrected.)

Online Treasure Hunt in Vertex-Permuted Dynamic Rings

We study the problem of treasure hunt by a group of $k \geq 1$ agents in vertex-permuted dynamic rings (VP). In this model, the $n$ vertices remain on a ring but are permuted at each time step. We first show that treasure hunt is impossible for any $k \leq n-3$ agents, if there are no restrictions on the sequence of permutations used in the dynamic ring. We then study the $VP(\delta)$ setting, in which for every pair $i, j$ of vertices, the edge $(i, j)$ is guaranteed to appear within $\delta$ steps. We show that the class $VP(\delta)$ is feasible only for $\delta \geq \left\lceil \frac{n-1}{2}\right\rceil$. For the one-agent case, we show a tight bound of $\Theta(\delta n)$ on the worst-case search time as well as competitive ratio of any online algorithm for treasure hunt, provided $\delta \geq 2n$. We then give an optimal algorithm for $k$ agents, thereby showing that $k$ agents can obtain a speedup of $k$ on the worst-case search time. Finally, in the R-VP setting, in which in every step, the vertices are arranged as a ring according to a random permutation, we show that treasure hunt takes expected $\Theta(n)$ steps against an oblivious adversary and $\Theta(n \log n)$ steps against an adaptive adversary.

The Computing Channel: How Modulation Programs the Airwaves

Distributed computing and distributed artificial intelligence require frequent exchanges of intermediate results, although many applications need only an aggregate rather than messages from individual devices. Conventional systems recover each message before computing the aggregate, whereas over-the-air computation (OAC) exploits simultaneous transmission to obtain it directly. However, dominant OAC implementations rely on analog signaling, creating a mismatch with finite-precision data and digital communication procedures. This article presents digital function-oriented communication, in which finite-alphabet symbol representations and receiver decisions are jointly designed so that multiple-access superposition encodes the desired function without recovering individual inputs. We introduce its computational-constellation principle, main design approaches, extensions, and implementation challenges. Federated edge learning illustrates how the framework can reduce user-dependent data-bearing resources while operating directly on quantized model updates.

Can AI Remediate Backend Failures Safely? GuardedAct with Blast-Radius-Aware Sandboxing

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promising capabilities in generating remediation actions for microservice failures. However, directly executing AI-generated repair actions in production risks cascading collateral damage. We propose GuardedAct, a sandbox-first remediation framework that interposes a blast-radius-aware verification layer between the LLM action generator and the production environment. GuardedAct operates in four phases: (1) ingesting a diagnosis report together with the live system topology and recent telemetry, (2) prompting an LLM to produce a ranked list of candidate remediation actions, (3) simulating each action in a lightweight digital-twin sandbox that estimates the blast radius and assigns a risk label, and (4) enforcing a rollback-confidence gate that auto-executes only low-risk actions while escalating high-risk ones for human review. We evaluate GuardedAct on five fault scenarios injected into the DeathStarBench social-network application. Experimental results show that GuardedAct achieves an overall recovery rate of 87.4% while reducing collateral damage by 79.7% relative to direct LLM execution (from 25.6% to 5.2%), at the cost of a modest sandbox-induced increase in mean time to recovery (approximately 8 s). Ablation studies confirm that each component contributes meaningfully to the safety-speed trade-off.
