IEEE JSTSP Article

Uncertainty quantification plays a key role in the development of autonomous systems, decision-making, and tracking over wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, there is a need of providing uncertainty confidence bounds, especially for distributed machine learning-based tracking, dealing with different volumes of data collected by sensors.

Federated learning (FL) has emerged as an instance of distributed machine learning paradigm that avoids the transmission of data generated on the users' side. Although data are not transmitted, edge devices have to deal with limited communication bandwidths, data heterogeneity, and straggler effects due to the limited computational resources of users' devices.

Satellite image based land cover classification, which falls under the category of semantic segmentation, is critical for many global and environmental applications. Deep learning has been proven to be excellent in semantic segmentation. However, mainstream neural networks formed by connecting high-to-low convolutions in series are prone to losing image information, which affects the accuracy of semantic segmentation. 

The mobile and flexible unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with mobile edge computing (MEC) can effectively relieve the computing pressure of the massive data traffic in 5G Internet of Things. In this paper, we propose a novel online edge learning offloading (OELO) scheme for UAV-assisted MEC secure communications, which can improve the secure computation performance. Moreover, the problem of information security is further considered since the offloading information of terminal users (TUs) may be eavesdropped due to the light-of-sight characteristic of UAV transmission.

The explosive growth of dynamic and heterogeneous data traffic brings great challenges for 5G and beyond mobile networks. To enhance the network capacity and reliability, we propose a learning-based dynamic time-frequency division duplexing (D-TFDD) scheme that adaptively allocates the uplink and downlink time-frequency resources of base stations (BSs) to meet the asymmetric and heterogeneous traffic demands while alleviating the inter-cell interference. 

To process and transfer large amounts of data in emerging wireless services, it has become increasingly appealing to exploit distributed data communication and learning. Specifically, edge learning (EL) enables local model training on geographically disperse edge nodes and minimizes the need for frequent data exchange.

The papers in this special section focus on distributed signal processing for edge learning (EL). EL is a new and promising technology for implementing artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms at edge devices over wireless networks.

Recently, self-supervised learning (SSL) from unlabelled speech data has gained increased attention in the automatic speech recognition (ASR) community. Typical SSL methods include autoregressive predictive coding (APC), Wav2vec2.0, and hidden unit BERT (HuBERT). However, SSL models are biased to the pretraining data. When SSL models are finetuned with data from another domain, domain shifting occurs and might cause limited knowledge transfer for downstream tasks.

Speech self-supervised learning has attracted much attention due to its promising performance in multiple downstream tasks, and has become a new growth engine for speech recognition in low-resource languages. In this paper, we exploit and analyze a series of wav2vec pre-trained models for speech recognition in 15 low-resource languages in the OpenASR21 Challenge.

Although supervised deep learning has revolutionized speech and audio processing, it has necessitated the building of specialist models for individual tasks and application scenarios. It is likewise difficult to apply this to dialects and languages for which only limited labeled data is available. Self-supervised representation learning methods promise a single universal model that would benefit a wide variety of tasks and domains.
