Vaccinating Federated Learning for Robust Modulation Classification in Distributed Wireless Networks

Automatic modulation classification (AMC) serves a vital role in ensuring efficient and reliable communication services within distributed wireless networks. Recent developments have seen a surge in interest in deep neural network (DNN)-based AMC models, with Federated Learning (FL) emerging as a promising framework. Despite these advancements, the presence of various noises within the signal exerts significant challenges while optimizing models to capture salient features. Furthermore, existing FL-based AMC models commonly rely on linear aggregation strategies, which face notable difficulties in integrating locally fine-tuned parameters within practical non-IID (Independent and Identically Distributed) environments, thereby hindering optimal learning convergence. To address these challenges, we propose FedVaccine, a novel FL model aimed at improving generalizability across signals with varying noise levels by deliberately introducing a balanced level of noise. This is accomplished through our proposed harmonic noise resilience approach, which identifies an optimal noise tolerance for DNN models, thereby regulating the training process and mitigating overfitting. Additionally, FedVaccine overcomes the limitations of existing FL-based AMC models' linear aggregation by employing a split-learning strategy using structural clustering topology and local queue data structure, enabling adaptive and cumulative updates to local models. Our experimental results, including IID and non-IID datasets as well as ablation studies, confirm FedVaccine's robust performance and superiority over existing FL-based AMC approaches across different noise levels. These findings highlight FedVaccine's potential to enhance the reliability and performance of AMC systems in practical wireless network environments.

drGT: Attention-Guided Gene Assessment of Drug Response Utilizing a Drug-Cell-Gene Heterogeneous Network

For translational impact, both accurate drug response prediction and biological plausibility of predictive features are needed. We present drGT, a heterogeneous graph deep learning model over drugs, genes, and cell lines that couples prediction with mechanism-oriented interpretability via attention coefficients (ACs). We assess both predictive generalization (random, unseen-drug, unseen-cell, and zero-shot splits) and biological plausibility (use of text-mined PubMed gene-drug co-mentions and comparison to a structure-based DTI predictor) on GDSC, NCI60, and CTRP datasets. Across benchmarks, drGT consistently delivers top regression performance while maintaining competitive classification accuracy for drug sensitivity. Under random 5-fold cross-validation, drGT attains an AUROC of up to 0.945 (3rd overall) and an $R^2$ up to 0.690, outperforming all baselines on regression. In leave-one-out tests for unseen cell lines and drugs, drGT achieves AUROCs of 0.706 and 0.844, and $R^2$ values of 0.692 and 0.022, the only model yielding positive $R^2$ for unseen drugs. In zero-shot prediction, drGT achieves an AUROC of 0.786 and a regression $R^2$ of 0.334, both representing the highest scores among all models. For interpretability, AC-derived drug-gene links recover known biology: among 976 drugs with known DTIs, 36.9% of predicted links match established DTIs, and 63.7% are supported by either PubMed abstracts or a structure-based predictive model. Enrichment analyses of AC-prioritized genes reveal drug-perturbed biological processes, providing pathway-level explanations. drGT advances predictive generalization and mechanism-centered interpretability, offering state-of-the-art regression accuracy and literature-supported biological hypotheses that demonstrate the use of graph learning from heterogeneous input data for biological discovery.

Real-time Interface Control with Motion Gesture Recognition based on Non-contact Capacitive Sensing

Capacitive sensing is a prominent technology that is cost-effective and low power consuming with fast recognition speed compared to existing sensing systems. On account of these advantages, Capacitive sensing has been widely studied and commercialized in the domains of touch sensing, localization, existence detection, and contact sensing interface application such as human-computer interaction. However, as a non-contact proximity sensing scheme is easily affected by the disturbance of peripheral objects or surroundings, it requires considerable sensitive data processing than contact sensing, limiting the use of its further utilization. In this paper, we propose a real-time interface control framework based on non-contact hand motion gesture recognition through processing the raw signals, detecting the electric field disturbance triggered by the hand gesture movements near the capacitive sensor using adaptive threshold, and extracting the significant signal frame, covering the authentic signal intervals with 98.8% detection rate and 98.4% frame correction rate. Through the GRU model trained with the extracted signal frame, we classify the 10 hand motion gesture types with 98.79% accuracy. The framework transmits the classification result and maneuvers the interface of the foreground process depending on the input. This study suggests the feasibility of intuitive interface technology, which accommodates the flexible interaction between human to machine similar to Natural User Interface, and uplifts the possibility of commercialization based on measuring the electric field disturbance through non-contact proximity sensing which is state-of-the-art sensing technology.

Robust Convergence in Federated Learning through Label-wise Clustering

Non-IID dataset and heterogeneous environment of the local clients are regarded as a major issue in Federated Learning (FL), causing a downturn in the convergence without achieving satisfactory performance. In this paper, we propose a novel Label-wise clustering algorithm that guarantees the trainability among geographically dispersed heterogeneous local clients, by selecting only the local models trained with a dataset that approximates into uniformly distributed class labels, which is likely to obtain faster minimization of the loss and increment the accuracy among the FL network. Through conducting experiments on the suggested six common non-IID scenarios, we empirically show that the vanilla FL aggregation model is incapable of gaining robust convergence generating biased pre-trained local models and drifting the local weights to mislead the trainability in the worst case. Moreover, we quantitatively estimate the expected performance of the local models before training, which offers a global server to select the optimal clients, saving additional computational costs. Ultimately, in order to gain resolution of the non-convergence in such non-IID situations, we design clustering algorithms based on local input class labels, accommodating the diversity and assorting clients that could lead the overall system to attain the swift convergence as global training continues. Our paper shows that proposed Label-wise clustering demonstrates prompt and robust convergence compared to other FL algorithms when local training datasets are non-IID or coexist with IID through multiple experiments.
