We present a minimalists but effective neural network that computes dense facial correspondences in highly unconstrained RGB images. Our network learns a per-pixel flow and a matchability mask between 2D input photographs of a person and the projection of a textured 3D face model. To train such a network, we generate a massive dataset of synthetic faces with dense labels using renderings of a morphable...
This paper studies the effectiveness and relay efficiency of using opportunistic multipoint relaying and distributed space-time coding (ODSTC) for cooperative Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ). According to the complexities for diversity exploration in retransmissions, three types of ARQ protocols are studied herein, allowing us to examine the effectiveness of the protocols and the efficiencies of using...
In this paper, we investigate the physical-layer network coding (PNC) scheme based on successive interference cancellation (SIC) in multi-way relay channels (MWRC). We consider a scenario where all users simultaneously transmit signals to the relay in the up-link stage while the relay broadcasts a coded message in the down-link stage. In order to extract the network codes from superimposed signals...
Phase-change memories (PCMs) are an important emerging non-volatile memory technology that uses amorphous and crystalline cell states to store data. The cell states are switched using high temperatures. As the semi-stable states of PCM cells are sensitive to temperatures, scaling down cell sizes can bring significant challenges. We consider two potential thermal-based interference problems as the...
Flash memories are the most widely used type of non-volatile electronic memories. Every flash memory cell has q discrete levels for storing information. A prominent property of flash memories is that although it is easy to increase a cell level, to decrease any cell level, a whole block of cells have to be erased and reprogrammed. To minimize the number of expensive block erasure operations and to...
A robust scheme is proposed to optimize the linear precoders/decoders for MIMO downlinks where the available channel state information (CSI) at base station (BS) is imperfect. The objective is to minimize the sum mean square error (SMSE) over all data sub-streams under a per-user transmit power constraint. By using an iterative procedure, the proposed scheme extends the existing optimization algorithm...
