Graphons, as limit objects of dense graph sequences, play a central role in the statistical analysis of network data. However, existing graphon estimation methods often struggle with scalability to large networks and resolution-independent approximation, due to their reliance on estimating latent v…
An emerging application of wireless sensing is locating and tracking humans in their living environments, a primitive that can be leveraged in both daily life applications and emergency situations. However, most proposed methods have limited spatial resolution when multiple humans are in close vicin…
In this paper, we propose a method to repurpose the multi-user MIMO downlink transmission for joint wireless communication and imaging. The key idea is to introduce the concept of virtual users in the communication coverage area and use the existing MUMIMO beamforming methods to jointly beamform tow…
We propose a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detector based on an annealed version of the underdamped Langevin (stochastic) dynamic. Our detector achieves state-of-the-art performance in terms of symbol error rate (SER) while keeping the computational complexity in check. Indeed, our method ca…
Social ambiance describes the context in which social interactions happen, and can be measured using speech audio by counting the number of concurrent speakers. This measurement has enabled various mental health tracking and human-centric IoT applications. While on-device Socal Ambiance Measure (SAM…
A transmission matrix (TM) describes the linear relationship between input and output phasor fields when a coherent wave passes through a scattering medium. Measurement of the TM enables numerous applications, but is challenging and time-intensive for an arbitrary medium. State-of-the-art methods, i…
Maintaining reliable millimeter wave (mmWave) connections to many fast-moving mobiles is a key challenge in the theory and practice of 5G systems. In this paper, we develop a new algorithm that can jointly track the beam direction and channel coefficient of mm Wave propagation paths using phased ant…
Learning from web data is increasingly popular due to abundant free web resources. However, the performance gap between webly supervised learning and traditional supervised learning is still very large, due to the label noise of web data. To fill this gap, most existing methods propose to purify or…
Fine-grained image classification, which targets at distinguishing subtle distinctions among various subordinate categories, remains a very difficult task due to the high annotation cost of enormous fine-grained categories. To cope with the scarcity of well-labeled training images, existing works ma…
