These properties allow them to adapt to channel variations by steering directional beams toward desired transmissions and away from interference sources, thus enhancing the overall performance of a wireless communication system. To fully exploit the benefits of a PRA, the key challenge is being able to optimally select the antenna state in real time. Current literature on this topic, to the best of our knowledge, focuses on the design of algorithms to optimally select the best antenna mode with evaluation performed in simulation or postprocessing. In this study, we have not only designed a real-time online antenna state selection framework for SISO wireless links but we have also implemented it in an experimental software defined radio testbed. We benchmarked the multi-armed bandit algorithm against other antenna state selection algorithms and show how it can improve system performance by mitigating the effects of interference taking advantage of the directionality PRAs provide. We also show that when the optimal state changes over time the bandit approach does not work very well. For such a scenario, we show how the Adaptive Pursuit algorithm works well and can be a great solution. We also discuss what changes could be done to the bandit algorithm to work better in this case.","PeriodicalId":308944,"journal":{"name":"2020 7th NAFOSTED Conference on Information and Computer Science (NICS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121795617","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}

To tackle one aspect of this problem, in this paper we propose an augmentation method that creates more data by generating night images from day images and vice versa using LCcycleGAN, a Lightness conditional Unpaired Image-to-Image Translation approach, this framework is the fusion of CycleGAN [1] and conditional GAN [2].

This paper presents a novel web-based tool, Biochrom, to assist the cytogeneticist in producing the karyogram. Biochrom is a semi-automated tool, which provides both manual and automated functions in chromosomes segmentation and classification using image processing combined with machine learning techniques. The study is carried on 612 metaphase images with 48 of those containing abnormal chromosomes. We compare the proposed tool to a conventional public tool, Metasel, for karyotyping based on performance by two cytogeneticists using user experience metrics such as number of manual interactions and processing time. Moreover, we quantitatively evaluate the accuracy of the classification of two approaches: Support Vector Machine (SVM) and deep learning. The evaluation results show that the deep learning classification outperforms SVM classification, and our proposed tool requires fewer interactions and less time consuming to complete the karyotyping task on average.","PeriodicalId":308944,"journal":{"name":"2020 7th NAFOSTED Conference on Information and Computer Science (NICS)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130665587","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}
