However, with narrow beamwidth in massive MIMO, beam alignment could be computationally intensive due to the large number of beam pairs to be measured. In this paper, we propose an efficient beam alignment framework by exploiting the location information of the user equipment (UE) and potential reflecting points. The proposed scheme allows the UE and the base station to perform a coordinated beam search from a small set of beams within the error boundary of the location information, the selected beams are then used to guide the search of future beams. To further reduce the number of beams to be searched, we propose an intelligent search scheme within a small window of beams to determine the direction of the actual beam. The proposed beam alignment algorithm is verified on simulation with some location uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":264468,"journal":{"name":"2021 7th IEEE International Conference on Network Intelligence and Digital Content (IC-NIDC)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125089826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

And the methods are mainly computer graphics, topology, support vector machines (SVM) and convolutional neural networks (CNN), these methods lack attention to character features. Thus, based on ancient Chinese characters dataset of Tsinghua Bamboo Slips, the method proposed in this paper add attention mechanism to recognition algorithms to replace traditional convolution in order to improve recognition accuracy.

Due to the continuous increase in design complexity and complicated design rules, avoiding routing conflicts between nets becomes more and more challenging. Conventional routing strategies like the rip-up and re-route scheme may need to spend huge efforts on avoiding conflicts between nets with overlapping routing areas. To resolve this challenge, in this paper, we propose a detailed router based on multi-agent reinforcement learning for handling conflicting nets. First, we approximate nets of detailed routing as agents and regard the pin-connection task as path planning to achieve the asynchronization of routing. Second, we assign each agent a local field of view to reduce feature size and difficulty in training. Finally, in order to eliminate routing congestion, we set an information storage unit for the information communication of each agent. The evaluation results show that the proposed multi-agent reinforcement learning scheme outperforms the baseline learning methods by 11.6%.","PeriodicalId":264468,"journal":{"name":"2021 7th IEEE International Conference on Network Intelligence and Digital Content (IC-NIDC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122784515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, system logs are a naturally excellent source of information for anomaly detection. Most of the existing studies on log-based anomaly detection construct a detection model to identify anomalous logs. Generally, the model treats historical logs as natural language sequences and learns the normal patterns from normal log sequences, and detects deviations from normal patterns as anomalies. However, the majority of existing methods focus on sequential and quantitative information and ignore semantic information hidden in log sequence so that they are inefficient in anomaly detection. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for automatically detecting log anomalies by utilizing an attention-based Bi-LSTM model. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed model, we evaluate the performance on a public production log dataset. Extensive experimental results show that the proposed approach outperforms all comparison methods for anomaly detection.","PeriodicalId":264468,"journal":{"name":"2021 7th IEEE International Conference on Network Intelligence and Digital Content (IC-NIDC)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121276597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, due to the complex video background, the varied duration and amplitude of the actions, it is also a considerable challenge. Currently, offline class-semantics representation is the mainstream input of this task since untrimmed videos occupy a large memory, high-quality untrimmed videos and annotations are difficult to access. Because these representations only focus on the class-semantics information, they are sub-optimal for the temporal action localization tasks. At the same time, the exploration of localization-semantics representation is very few due to the high resource consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the detection capability of class-semantics representation directly. As an exploration, we propose the ForeBack module to enhance class-semantics features’ locating performance by augmenting the distinction modeling between foreground and background clips. This module could also eliminate part of the noise of inference probability sequences. Furthermore, we use phased training to learn and use the ForeBack module more effectively.

In this paper, we proposed a positioning scheme based on two-dimensional (QR) code to obtain the location of the visually impaired. Specifically, we designed the three-point positioning scheme. Then we proposed a two-point plus orientation positioning scheme to compensate for the low accuracy of distance estimation. Especially, we have implemented a smart glass to provide intelligent guidance for the visually impaired. Through the analysis and calculation of the image, smart glasses use voice broadcast to provide obstacle warning, walking navigation and other guidance services for the visually impaired. Experimental results show that compared with the existing Bluetooth, WiFi and other methods, the QR code positioning solution we proposed has better positioning accuracy and lower cost. Moreover, compared with three-point positioning, the two-point plus orientation positioning method greatly improves the success rate of positioning, which proves that the introduction of orientation can solve the problem of insufficient ranging accuracy and meet the engineering requirements of smart glasses.","PeriodicalId":264468,"journal":{"name":"2021 7th IEEE International Conference on Network Intelligence and Digital Content (IC-NIDC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115543303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
