TGAN: Deep Tensor Generative Adversarial Nets for Large Image Generation

Deep generative models have been successfully applied to many applications. However, existing works experience limitations when generating large images (the literature usually generates small images, e.g. 32 * 32 or 128 * 128). In this paper, we propose a novel scheme, called deep tensor adversarial generative nets (TGAN), that generates large high-quality images by exploring tensor structures. Essentially, the adversarial process of TGAN takes place in a tensor space. First, we impose tensor structures for concise image representation, which is superior in capturing the pixel proximity information and the spatial patterns of elementary objects in images, over the vectorization preprocess in existing works. Secondly, we propose TGAN that integrates deep convolutional generative adversarial networks and tensor super-resolution in a cascading manner, to generate high-quality images from random distributions. More specifically, we design a tensor super-resolution process that consists of tensor dictionary learning and tensor coefficients learning. Finally, on three datasets, the proposed TGAN generates images with more realistic textures, compared with state-of-the-art adversarial autoencoders. The size of the generated images is increased by over 8.5 times, namely 374 * 374 in PASCAL2.

Task Allocation in Mobile Crowd Sensing: State of the Art and Future Opportunities

Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) is the special case of crowdsourcing, which leverages the smartphones with various embedded sensors and user's mobility to sense diverse phenomenon in a city. Task allocation is a fundamental research issue in MCS, which is crucial for the efficiency and effectiveness of MCS applications. In this article, we specifically focus on the task allocation in MCS systems. We first present the unique features of MCS allocation compared to generic crowdsourcing, and then provide a comprehensive review for diversifying problem formulation and allocation algorithms together with future research opportunities.

An LS-Decomposition Approach for Robust Data Recovery in Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks are widely adopted in military, civilian and commercial applications, which fuels an exponential explosion of sensory data. However, a major challenge to deploy effective sensing systems is the presence of {\em massive missing entries, measurement noise, and anomaly readings}. Existing works assume that sensory data matrices have low-rank structures. This does not hold in reality due to anomaly readings, causing serious performance degradation. In this paper, we introduce an {\em LS-Decomposition} approach for robust sensory data recovery, which decomposes a corrupted data matrix as the superposition of a low-rank matrix and a sparse anomaly matrix. First, we prove that LS-Decomposition solves a convex program with bounded approximation error. Second, using data sets from the IntelLab, GreenOrbs, and NBDC-CTD projects, we find that sensory data matrices contain anomaly readings. Third, we propose an accelerated proximal gradient algorithm and prove that it approximates the optimal solution with convergence rate $O(1/k^2)$ ($k$ is the number of iterations). Evaluations on real data sets show that our scheme achieves recovery error $\leq 5\%$ for sampling rate $\geq 50\%$ and almost exact recovery for sampling rate $\geq 60\%$, while state-of-the-art methods have error $10\% \sim 15\%$ at sampling rate $90\%$.

Two Design Issues in Cognitive Sub-Small Cell for Sojourners

In this paper, we propound a solution named Cognitive Sub-Small Cell for Sojourners (CSCS) in allusion to a broadly representative small cell scenario, where users can be categorized into two groups: sojourners and inhabitants. CSCS contributes to save energy, enhance the number of concurrently supportable users and enshield inhabitants. We consider two design issues in CSCS: i) determining the number of transmit antennas on sub-small cell APs; ii) controlling downlink inter-sub-small cell interference. For issue i), we excogitate an algorithm helped by the probability distribution of the number of concurrent sojourners. For issue ii), we propose an interference control scheme named BDBF: Block Diagonalization (BD) Precoding based on uncertain channel state information in conjunction with auxiliary optimal Beamformer (BF). In the simulation, we delve into the issue: how the factors impact the number of transmit antennas on sub-small cell APs. Moreover, we verify a significant conclusion: Using BDBF gains more capacity than using optimal BF alone within a bearably large radius of uncertainty region.
