Distance Guided Generative Adversarial Network for Explainable Binary Classifications
Dec 29, 2023
Despite the potential benefits of data augmentation for mitigating the data insufficiency, traditional augmentation methods primarily rely on the prior intra-domain knowledge. On the other hand, advanced generative adversarial networks (GANs) generate inter-domain samples with limited variety. These previous methods make limited contributions to describing the decision boundaries for binary classification. In this paper, we propose a distance guided GAN (DisGAN) which controls the variation degrees of generated samples in the hyperplane space. Specifically, we instantiate the idea of DisGAN by combining two ways. The first way is vertical distance GAN (VerDisGAN) where the inter-domain generation is conditioned on the vertical distances. The second way is horizontal distance GAN (HorDisGAN) where the intra-domain generation is conditioned on the horizontal distances. Furthermore, VerDisGAN can produce the class-specific regions by mapping the source images to the hyperplane. Experimental results show that DisGAN consistently outperforms the GAN-based augmentation methods with explainable binary classification. The proposed method can apply to different classification architectures and has potential to extend to multi-class classification.
Channel Estimation for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface-Assisted Cell-Free Communications
Jul 28, 2022
Recent research has focused on reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted cell-free systems with the goal of enhancing coverage and lowering the cost of cell-free networks. However, current research makes the assumption that the perfect channel state information is known. Channel acquisition is, certainly, a difficulty in this case. This work is aimed at investigating RIS-assisted cell-free channel estimation. Toward this end, two unique characteristics are pointed out: 1) For all users, a common channel exists between the base station (BS) and the RIS; and 2) For all BSs, a common channel exists between the RIS and the user. Based on these two characteristics, cascaded and two-timescale channel estimation concerns are studied. Subsequently, two solutions for tackling with the two issues are presented respectively: a three-dimensional multiple measurement vector (3D-MMV)-based compressive sensing technique and a multi-BS cooperative pilot-reduced methodology. Finally, simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the schemes we have presented.
