Generative Adversarial Networks for Secure Data Transmission in Wireless Network

In this paper,a communication model in cognitive radios is developed and uses machine learning to learn the dynamics of jamming attacks in cognitive radios.It is designed further to make their transmission decision that automati-cally adapts to the transmission dynamics to mitigate the launched jamming attacks.The generative adversarial learning neural network(GALNN)or genera-tive dynamic neural network(GDNN)automatically learns with the synthesized training data(training)with a generator and discriminator type neural networks that encompass minimax game theory.The elimination of the jamming attack is carried out with the assistance of the defense strategies and with an increased detection rate in the generative adversarial network(GAN).The GDNN with game theory is designed to validate the channel condition with the cross entropy loss function and back-propagation algorithm,which improves the communica-tion reliability in the network.The simulation is conducted in NS2.34 tool against several performance metrics to reduce the misdetection rate and false alarm rates.The results show that the GDNN obtains an increased rate of successful transmis-sion by taking optimal actions to act as a defense mechanism to mislead the jam-mer,where the jammer makes high misclassification errors on transmission dynamics.

Language Adaptation for Entity Relation Classification via Adversarial Neural Networks

Entity relation classification aims to classify the semantic relationship between two marked entities in a given sentence,and plays a vital role in various natural language processing applications.However,existing studies focus on exploiting mono-lingual data in English,due to the lack of labeled data in other languages.How to effectively benefit from a richly-labeled language to help a poorly-labeled language is still an open problem.In this paper,we come up with a language adaptation framework for cross-lingual entity relation classification.The basic idea is to employ adversarial neural networks(AdvNN)to transfer feature representations from one language to another.Especially,such a language adaptation framework enables feature imitation via the competition between a sentence encoder and a rival language discriminator to generate effective representations.To verify the effectiveness of AdvNN,we introduce two kinds of adversarial structures,dual-channel AdvNN and single-channel AdvNN.Experimental results on the ACE 2005 multilingual training corpus show that our single-channel AdvNN achieves the best performance on both unsupervised and semi-supervised scenarios,yielding an improvement of 6.61%and 2.98%over the state-of-the-art,respectively.Compared with baselines which directly adopt a machine translation module,we find that both dual-channel and single-channel AdvNN significantly improve the performances(F1)of cross-lingual entity relation classification.Moreover,extensive analysis and discussion demonstrate the appropriateness and effectiveness of different parameter settings in our language adaptation framework.

Adversarial Neural Network Classifiers for COVID-19 Diagnosis in Ultrasound Images

The novel Coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic has begun in China and is still affecting thousands of patient livesworldwide daily.AlthoughChest X-ray and Computed Tomography are the gold standardmedical imaging modalities for diagnosing potentially infected COVID-19 cases,applying Ultrasound(US)imaging technique to accomplish this crucial diagnosing task has attracted many physicians recently.In this article,we propose two modified deep learning classifiers to identify COVID-19 and pneumonia diseases in US images,based on generative adversarial neural networks(GANs).The proposed image classifiers are a semi-supervised GAN and a modifiedGANwith auxiliary classifier.Each one includes a modified discriminator to identify the class of the US image using semi-supervised learning technique,keeping its main function of defining the“realness”of tested images.Extensive tests have been successfully conducted on public dataset of US images acquired with a convex US probe.This study demonstrated the feasibility of using chest US images with two GAN classifiers as a new radiological tool for clinical check of COVID-19 patients.The results of our proposed GAN models showed that high accuracy values above 91.0%were obtained under different sizes of limited training data,outperforming other deep learning-based methods,such as transfer learning models in the recent studies.Consequently,the clinical implementation of our computer-aided diagnosis of US-COVID-19 is the future work of this study.

D-Fi: Domain adversarial neural network based CSI fingerprint indoor localization

Deep learning based channel state information(CSI)fingerprint indoor localization schemes need to collect massive labeled data samples for training,and the parameters of the deep neural network are used as the fingerprints.However,the indoor environment may change,and the previously constructed fingerprint may not be valid for the changed environment.In order to adapt to the changed environment,it requires to recollect massive amount of labeled data samples and perform the training again,which is labor-intensive and time-consuming.In order to overcome this drawback,in this paper,we propose one novel domain adversarial neural network(DANN)based CSI Fingerprint Indoor Localization(D-Fi)scheme,which only needs the unlabeled data samples from the changed environment to update the fingerprint to adapt to the changed environment.Specifically,the previous environment and changed environment are treated as the source domain and the target domain,respectively.The DANN consists of the classification path and the domain-adversarial path,which share the same feature extractor.In the offline phase,the labeled CSI samples are collected as source domain samples to train the neural network of the classification path,while in the online phase,for the changed environment,only the unlabeled CSI samples are collected as target domain samples to train the neural network of the domainadversarial path to update parameters of the feature extractor.In this case,the feature extractor extracts the common features from both the source domain samples corresponding to the previous environment and the target domain samples corresponding to the changed environment.Experiment results show that for the changed localization environment,the proposed D-Fi scheme significantly outperforms the existing convolutional neural network(CNN)based scheme.

An improved transfer learning strategy for short-term cross-building energy prediction usingdata incremental

The available modelling data shortage issue makes it difficult to guarantee the performance of data-driven building energy prediction(BEP)models for both the newly built buildings and existing information-poor buildings.Both knowledge transfer learning(KTL)and data incremental learning(DIL)can address the data shortage issue of such buildings.For new building scenarios with continuous data accumulation,the performance of BEP models has not been fully investigated considering the data accumulation dynamics.DIL,which can learn dynamic features from accumulated data adapting to the developing trend of new building time-series data and extend BEP model's knowledge,has been rarely studied.Previous studies have shown that the performance of KTL models trained with fixed data can be further improved in scenarios with dynamically changing data.Hence,this study proposes an improved transfer learning cross-BEP strategy continuously updated using the coarse data incremental(CDI)manner.The hybrid KTL-DIL strategy(LSTM-DANN-CDI)uses domain adversarial neural network(DANN)for KLT and long short-term memory(LSTM)as the Baseline BEP model.Performance evaluation is conducted to systematically qualify the effectiveness and applicability of KTL and improved KTL-DIL.Real-world data from six-type 36 buildings of six types are adopted to evaluate the performance of KTL and KTL-DIL in data-driven BEP tasks considering factors like the model increment time interval,the available target and source building data volumes.Compared with LSTM,results indicate that KTL(LSTM-DANN)and the proposed KTL-DIL(LSTM-DANN-CDI)can significantly improve the BEP performance for new buildings with limited data.Compared with the pure KTL strategy LSTM-DANN,the improved KTL-DIL strategy LSTM-DANN-CDI has better prediction performance with an average performance improvement ratio of 60%.
