  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IMPROVED FEDERATED LEARNING AND IMPLEMENTATIONS THEREOF
    Publication number: 20240330706
    Abstract: This disclosure provides novel methods and systems for novel two-way knowledge distillation-based federated learning framework (referred to as Fed2KD) that can work homogeneous models, e.g., models with different configurations, user preferences, and/or different properties of user devices. In the disclosed Fed2KD, the knowledge exchange between the global and local models is achieved by distilling the information into or out from a tiny model with unified configuration using a proxy dataset generated by conditional variational autoencoder (CVAE). In another aspect, an improved federated learning framework is disclosed that implements a federated learning-based Next Generation Radio Access Networks (NG-RAN) algorithm (referred to as FedNG). The disclosed FedNG can be implemented to address the limited capacity of the fronthaul links as well as privacy concerns.

  • Fakecatcher: detection of synthetic portrait videos using biological signals
    Patent number: 12106216
    Abstract: Detection of synthetic content in portrait videos, e.g., deep fakes, is achieved. Detectors blindly utilizing deep learning are not effective in catching fake content, as generative models produce realistic results. However, biological signals hidden in portrait videos which are neither spatially nor temporally preserved in fake content, can be used as implicit descriptors of authenticity. 99.39% accuracy in pairwise separation is achieved. A generalized classifier for fake content is formulated by analyzing signal transformations and corresponding feature sets. Signal maps are generated, and a CNN employed to improve the classifier for detecting synthetic content. Evaluation on several datasets produced superior detection rates against baselines, independent of the source generator, or properties of available fake content.

  • Direct RF signal processing for heart-rate monitoring using UWB impulse radar
    Patent number: 12102420
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for direct radio frequency (RF) signal processing for heart rate (HR) monitoring using ultra-wide band (UWB) impulse radar are presented. A radar sensor is able to directly sample a received signal at RF which satisfies the Nyquist sampling rate, preserving a subject's vital sign information in the received signal. The vital sign information can be extracted directly from a raw RF signal and thus down conversion to a complex baseband is not required. The HR monitoring performance from the proposed direct RF signal processing technique provides an improvement in continuous HR monitoring as compared against existing methods using a complex baseband signal and/or other measurement techniques.
