  • Patent number: 12136146
    Abstract: A system for reconstructing a magnetic particle image based on a pre-trained model aims to address the influence by point spread function and reduce the computational and time costs, which results in low reconstruction accuracy, or high acquisition time and computational costs for high-precision images. The system is implemented by: generating a simulation system matrix; pre-training a pre-constructed neural network model, and fine-tuning a pre-trained neural network model by performing a downstream task; and inputting real data corresponding to the downstream task into the pre-trained neural network model after fine-tuning, thereby playing an auxiliary role to acquire a high-quality reconstructed MPI image. The system fits the relationship between different harmonics, which helps enhance frequency-domain information.

  • Publication number: 20240297700
    Abstract: A wireless federated learning (FL) framework and a resource optimization method are provided to resolve a problem that FL is not suitable for many hardware-constrained Internet of Things (IoT) devices with a small amount of computing resources. In the framework, users with sufficient computing resources upload locally trained model parameters to a base station, and users with limited computing resources only need to send training data to the base station. The base station performs data training and model aggregation to obtain a global model. In this way, the users with limited computing resources and the users with sufficient computing resources cooperatively train the global model. To improve a data transmission rate and reduce an aggregation error of FL, a non-convex optimization problem is constructed to jointly design user transmit power and a reception strategy of the base station, and solves the problem through a successive convex approximation (SCA) method.
