Consider a star network where each local node possesses a set of test statistics that exhibit a symmetric distribution around zero when their corresponding null hypothesis is true. This paper investigates statistical inference problems in…

From both practical and theoretical viewpoints, performance analysis of communication systems using information-theoretic results is very important. In this study, first, we obtain a general achievable rate for a two-user wireless multiple…

Cortical gamma ($\gamma$)-band activity reflects local excitation-inhibition (E/I) balance. In schizophrenia (SCZ), reduced task-evoked gamma suggests altered E/I dynamics, but it is unclear whether differences stem from input properties or…

We propose an efficient protocol for decentralized training of deep neural networks from distributed data sources. The proposed protocol allows to handle different phases of model training equally well and to quickly adapt to concept…

We investigate the performance of a dual-hop intervehicular communications (IVC) system with relay selection strategy. We assume a generalized fading channel model, known as cascaded Rayleigh (also called n*Rayleigh), which involves the…

Designing an efficient model within the limited computational cost is challenging. We argue the accuracy of a lightweight model has been further limited by the design convention: a stage-wise configuration of the channel dimensions, which…

Fifty years ago, Wilson and Cowan developed a mathematical model to describe the activity of neural populations. In this seminal work, they divided the cells in three groups: active, sensitive and refractory, and obtained a dynamical system…

Wireless control systems replace traditional wired communication with wireless networks to exchange information between actuators, plants and sensors in a control system. The noise in wireless channels renders ideal control policies…

We propose a general framework called Network Dissection for quantifying the interpretability of latent representations of CNNs by evaluating the alignment between individual hidden units and a set of semantic concepts. Given any CNN model,…

In this paper we consider spatial networks that realize a balance between an infrastructure cost (the cost of wire needed to connect the network in space) and communication efficiency, measured by average shortest pathlength. A global…

One of the most well-established tools for modeling the brain as a complex system is the functional connectivity network, which examines the correlations between pairs of interacting brain regions. While powerful, the network model is…

Multiple stochastic signals possess inherent statistical correlations, yet conventional sampling methods that process each channel independently result in data redundancy. To leverage this correlation for efficient sampling, we model…

We study the intriguing connection between visual data, deep networks, and the brain. Our method creates a universal channel alignment by using brain voxel fMRI response prediction as the training objective. We discover that deep networks,…

Recent experimental studies indicate that visual cognition is accompanied by slowly propagating biophysical travelling waves in cortical tissue. Here we propose polarization waves as a coherent physical framework for visual cognition. We…

Massively parallel recordings of spiking activity in cortical networks show that covariances vary widely across pairs of neurons. Their low average is well understood, but an explanation for the wide distribution in relation to the static…

Motivated by classical communications engineering, early works in molecular communication (MC) largely adopted established modeling and signal processing concepts from wireless electromagnetic communication systems. In the context of the…

Work at the intersection of vision science and deep learning is starting to explore the efficacy of deep convolutional networks (DCNs) and recurrent networks in solving perceptual grouping problems that underlie primate visual recognition…

The technique of cooperative communications is finding its way in the next generations of many wireless communication applications. Due to the distributed nature of cooperative networks, acquiring fading channels information for coherent…

The rapid development of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in recent years has triggered significant breakthroughs in many machine learning (ML) applications. The ability to understand and compare various CNN models available is thus…

Channel uncertainty and co-channel interference are two major challenges in the design of wireless systems such as future generation cellular networks. This paper studies receiver design for a wireless channel model with both time-varying…
