In high-mobility scenarios with time-frequency doubly-selective channels, existing semantic communication systems suffer significant performance degradation. To address this issue, we propose a semantic communication framework that…
Flexible Intelligent Metasurfaces (FIMs) enable wireless systems to adapt their three-dimensional geometry through morphing, thereby providing new spatial degrees of freedom. However, continuous deformation complicates the accurate…
The pursuit of a "unified" discrete token for both speech understanding and generation has led the Speech Language Model (SLM) community to heavily rely on Word Error Rate (WER) -- the core metric for Whisper-style tokenizers -- as the…
Non-uniform scaling control of formation enables multi-agent systems to adjust their shape by scaling with different ratios along different coordinate axes, offering enhanced flexibility in complex environments. However, like most existing…
This paper proposes a tensor-based parametric channel estimation technique for IRS-assisted communication systems with time-varying channel parameters. We exploit the multidimensional structure of the received signal by developing a…
This paper proposes a tensor-based parameter estimation algorithm for sensing in an intelligent reflecting surface-assisted system. We present a higher-order singular value decomposition-based solution that exploits the tensor structure of…
Many recent medical VLM and agent studies are benchmarked on 2D images or comparatively short tool-calling exchanges, whereas real MRI analysis typically demands long, interdependent pipelines that operate on 3D/4D volumetric data. Under…
This paper presents an energy-optimal hybrid control framework for thermal management of heat-pump battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The controller coordinates the compressor, coolant pumps, and cabin blower across the coupled refrigerant,…
Visible light communication (VLC) provides a unified framework for wireless data transmission and illumination, but its practical deployment requires transmission schemes that jointly satisfy communication and lighting constraints. In…
The recursive quad-tree partitioning in High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) incurs considerable computational overhead, with exhaustive rate-distortion optimization for CTU partition prediction consuming the dominant share of encoding time.…
In this paper, we consider the expansion of power grids under emerging large loads from data centers and electrified manufacturing. We develop a multi-period grid capacity expansion model to determine optimal investment profiles for power…
In this paper, we propose a moving horizon estimation (MHE)-based training method for feedforward neural networks (FNNs) with rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation functions to determine their ideal weights from a control-theoretic…
Accurate building energy simulation is essential for developing advanced control strategies that enable demand flexibility and grid responsiveness. The Smart Buildings Control Suite (sbsim) offers a lightweight, scalable, and…
Media compression standards have reached a plateau in terms of the rate-distortion-complexity trade-off, limiting the ability to offload expensive AI perception to the cloud in applications like robotics, wearables, and remote sensing.…
This paper investigates the identification of observable low-frequency (LF) parameters of battery cell's equivalent circuit models (ECMs) using time-domain voltage and current measurements sampled at low frequency by built-in battery…
Packet dropouts in control systems poses a critical challenge, as it can significantly compromise system performance and stability. In these conditions, classical controllers often struggle to deliver effective control, as they rely on…
Early prediction of respiratory failure is critical for timely clinical intervention in intensive care units. Existing electronic health record (EHR)-based models can continuously monitor physiologic deterioration, but they may not fully…
This paper presents and validates CTseg, a freely available software for brain CT segmentation, spatial normalisation, and volumetrics. CTseg builds on the Multi-Brain generative modelling framework, providing a CT-specific pipeline that…
The reliable operation of large-scale electric power networks is increasingly challenging, particularly with the integration of stochastic renewable generation. In this work, we address the problem of minimizing network transients by…
In this paper, we design feedback control laws for soft robots modelled using the Cosserat rod, which is spatially discretised using the Piecewise Constant Strain (PCS) approach. The PCS approach transforms the nonlinear PDEs describing the…
