Differentially Private Asynchronous Federated Learning for Mobile Edge Computing in Urban Informatics

Abstract: Driven by technologies such as mobile edge computing and 5G, recent years have witnessed the rapid development of urban informatics, where a large amount of data is generated. To cope with the growing data, artificial intelligence algorithms have been widely exploited. Federated learning is a promising paradigm for distributed edge computing, which enables edge nodes to train models locally without transmitting their data to a server. However, the security and privacy concerns of federated learning hinder its wide deployment in urban applications such as vehicular networks. In this article, we propose a differentially private asynchronous federated learning scheme for resource sharing in vehicular networks. To build a secure and robust federated learning scheme, we incorporate local differential privacy into federated learning for protecting the privacy of updated local models. We further propose a random distributed update scheme to get rid of the security threats led by a centralized curator. Moreover, we perform the convergence boosting in our proposed scheme by updates verification and weighted aggregation. We evaluate our scheme on three real-world datasets. Numerical results show the high accuracy and efficiency of our proposed scheme, whereas preserve the data privacy.

Observation of the nonlocal spin-orbital effective field

Abstract: The spin-orbit coupling present in certain nonmagnetic/ferromagnetic metal bilayers could enable electrical control of pure spin currents in future spintronic devices. Xiao et al. report the signatures of such coupling, even when the two layers are separated by a third copper layer.

Design of a uniform amplitude time modulated linear array with optimized time sequences

Abstract: A novel approach to realize uniform amplitude time modulated linear arrays with both suppressed sidelobes and sidebands is proposed. The approach utilizes the direct optimization of the "switch-on" time sequence of each array element via the simple genetic algorithm (SGA). As compared to previous time modulated linear arrays, the new array has the advantages of having low sidelobe level (SLL), low sideband level (SBL) and uniform excitations simultaneously. Experimental results on an experimental prototype of a 16-element printed dipole linear array with the SGA optimized time sequences verified the approach.

Heart Disease Identification Method Using Machine Learning Classification in E-Healthcare

Abstract: Heart disease is one of the complex diseases and globally many people suffered from this disease. On time and efficient identification of heart disease plays a key role in healthcare, particularly in the field of cardiology. In this article, we proposed an efficient and accurate system to diagnosis heart disease and the system is based on machine learning techniques. The system is developed based on classification algorithms includes Support vector machine, Logistic regression, Artificial neural network, K-nearest neighbor, Naive bays, and Decision tree while standard features selection algorithms have been used such as Relief, Minimal redundancy maximal relevance, Least absolute shrinkage selection operator and Local learning for removing irrelevant and redundant features. We also proposed novel fast conditional mutual information feature selection algorithm to solve feature selection problem. The features selection algorithms are used for features selection to increase the classification accuracy and reduce the execution time of classification system. Furthermore, the leave one subject out cross-validation method has been used for learning the best practices of model assessment and for hyperparameter tuning. The performance measuring metrics are used for assessment of the performances of the classifiers. The performances of the classifiers have been checked on the selected features as selected by features selection algorithms. The experimental results show that the proposed feature selection algorithm (FCMIM) is feasible with classifier support vector machine for designing a high-level intelligent system to identify heart disease. The suggested diagnosis system (FCMIM-SVM) achieved good accuracy as compared to previously proposed methods. Additionally, the proposed system can easily be implemented in healthcare for the identification of heart disease.
