As rich user-generated geotagged data, microblogs have been exploited in several data analytic contexts, e.g., popular topic trends, popular site detection, and geo-targeted recommendation. To support such analysis, we developed an efficient multidimensional index structure and parallel processing approaches for top-k frequent spatiotemporal terms query: a common analytic query on geotagged social data. Given a spatiotemporal range, the query aggregates the frequencies of terms among the social posts and identifies the most frequent terms in that range. The present work is different from studies that extract this information from stream data because we focus on large historical datasets. The key challenge is to improve query performance with minimum storage requirements. We propose a distributed index structure that transforms spatiotemporal coordinates into unique codes to generate rowkeys in key-value stores (KVSs) and balances the data distribution across distributed systems. Then, we utilize data localization to calculate sorted term lists (STLs) in parallel. To reduce input/output between KVSs and the client, we theoretically estimate the necessary length of STLs to calculate the top-k frequent terms and send only a part of the STLs to the client. Several experiments, on both real and artificial datasets, showed our approach to have both lower space requirements and better query performance than baseline approaches.

The growing demand for intelligent environments unleashes an extraordinary cycle of privacy-aware applications that makes individuals' life more comfortable and safe. Examples of these applications include pedestrian tracking systems in large areas. Although the ubiquity of camera-based systems, they are not a preferable solution due to the vulnerability of leaking the privacy of pedestrians. In this paper, we introduce a novel privacy-preserving system for pedestrian tracking in smart environments using multiple distributed LiDARs of non-overlapping views. The system is designed to leverage LiDAR devices to track pedestrians in partially covered areas due to practical constraints, e.g., occlusion or cost. Therefore, the system uses the point cloud captured by different LiDARs to extract discriminative features that are used to train a metric learning model for pedestrian matching purposes. To boost the system's robustness, we leverage a probabilistic approach to model and adapt the dynamic mobility patterns of individuals and thus connect their sub-trajectories. We deployed the system in a largescale testbed with 70 colorless LiDARs and conducted three different experiments. The evaluation result at the entrance hall confirms the system's ability to accurately track the pedestrians with a 0.98 F-measure even with zero-covered areas. This result highlights the promise of the proposed system as the next generation of privacy-preserving tracking means in smart environments.

With the development of Internet of Vehicles, a large number of different types of applications have emerged. However, given the limited computing power of vehicles, many tasks cannot be completed within specified time. The task offloading method based on mobile edge computing (MEC) effectively solves the problem. However, the existing research does not fully consider user needs and has the disadvantages of limited application scope and slow training speed, so it is not suitable for high-speed vehicle scenarios. Considering the heterogeneity of tasks and the different needs of users, this paper first designs a dynamic weighting method for delay and vehicle energy consumption, and then proposes a distributed algorithm FDQN based on Deep Q-Network (DQN) and federated learning. The algorithm does not require any information about the base station and can utilize user collaboration to achieve fast convergence. The experimental results show that our algorithm can achieve best optimization effect under different vehicle energy and speeds.

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have become increasingly computationally intensive and have larger parameters, requiring efficient parallelization or distribution using multiple accelerators. Pipeline parallelism has been proposed as an effective way to distribute models and improve hardware utilization. However, the problem with pipeline parallelism is the trade-off between speedup and accuracy: synchronous approaches do not provide sufficient speedup, while asynchronous approaches suffer from accuracy degradation due to a different scheme from a single worker. In this paper, we propose AshPipe, a hybrid parallel framework that combines data parallelism and asynchronous pipeline parallelism to achieve efficient speedup for training. The proposed runtime uses the 1F1B schedule and data parallelism, with non-uniform numbers of workers and identical global batch sizes across stages. A Switch parallelism (SP) mechanism is also proposed as an option to mitigate accuracy degradation, which switches over from data parallelism to hybrid parallelism in the course of training. Experimental results show that AshPipe achieves 1.844x the throughput of data parallelism for ViT-H/14 whose parameter size is 632M. With the SP mechanism, AshPipe achieved a 30.2% reduction in training time with comparable accuracy compared to data parallelism when training on the CIFAR100 dataset.
