We develop algorithms to analyzing facial expression by learning from the data. Since local characters of muscle movements play an important role in distinguishing facial expression by machines, we explore the local characters of facial expressions by introducing the attention mechanism in both supervised and self-supervised supervised manners. Our methods is experimentally shown to be effective on facial expression recognition with occlusions and facial action unit detection.

Accurate channel estimation is a major challenge in the next generation of wireless communication networks. To fully exploit setups with many antennas, estimation errors must be kept small. This can be achieved by exploiting the structure inherent in the channel vectors. For example, line-of-sight paths result in highly correlated channel coefficients.

The upcoming 5G network needs to achieve substantially larger link capacity and ultra-low latency to support emerging mobile applications. While conventional techniques have reached their limits, uplifting the carrier frequency to the millimeter-wave (mm-wave) band stands out as an effective approach to further boost the network capacity, as it provides orders of magnitude greater spectrum than current cellular bands.

Monte Carlo (MC) methods are a set of fascinating computational techniques that have attracted ever-increasing attention in the last decades. They are based on the simulation of random samples that are used for diverse purposes, such as numerical integration or optimization.
