City-Scale Map Creation and Updating using GPS Collections

TL;DR: This paper develops a framework to create up-to-date maps with rich knowledge from GPS trajectory collections using novel graph-based clustering techniques with prior knowledge on road design and develops a scale- and orientation-invariant traj-SIFT feature to localize and recognize junctions using a supervised learning framework.

Coordinated dispatch in multiple cooperative autonomous islanded microgrids

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the optimal coordinated operation of multiple autonomous distributed generators (DGs) and revealed the potential technical benefit by identifying the optimal network topologies and allocating the critical loads (CLs) to appropriate DGs based on the minimum spanning tree (MST) algorithm with power loss and reliability considerations.

A Communication Efficient Vertical Federated Learning Framework.

TL;DR: This paper proposes the Federated Stochastic Block Coordinate Descent (FedBCD) to effectively reduce the communication rounds for VFL and shows that when the batch size, sample size and the local iterations are selected appropriately, the algorithm requires O( √T ) communication rounds to achieve O(1/ √ T ) accuracy.
