Nowadays deep neural networks are a common choice for multichannel speech processing as they may outperform the traditional concatenation of a linear beamformer and a post-filter in challenging scenarios. To obtain strong spatial selectivity, these approaches are typically trained for a specific microphone array configuration. However, it was recently shown that such models are sensitive even to small perturbations in the microphones placements. In this paper we propose a method for handling variable array configurations based on model-agnostic meta-learning. We demonstrate that the proposed approach increases robustness to changes in the array configurations, i.e., mismatched conditions, while maintaining the same performance as the array-specific model on matched conditions.

Graph signalprocessing (GSP) can be applied as a modeling tool to study and optimally configure IoT sensor networks. Such networks are often characterized by stringent power requirements and a high probability of sensor fault. In this scenario, understanding and governing the response on a sample of the sensors is critical to maximizing network lifetime and spreading out maintenance time. The aim of this paper is to verify the ability of the GSP to model and provide answers to these goals.

In this paper, we focus on diagnosing Parkinson's patients using dynamic plantar pressure data collected via sensor devices. We employ data preprocessing methods, including clustering, dimensionality reduction, and multichannel feature screening. Our approach proposes a comprehensive set of data processing techniques, including data cleaning, constrained clustering, and dimensionality reduction, to convert sensor data into a multichannel multivariate time series suitable for neural network input. Unlike current methods that use all features for automatic filtering by the network - adding complexity and resource burden - we introduce a data analysis method combining statistical features and Recursive Feature Elimination. This reduces the number of channels and simplifies the model. We used a simplified 1D-convnet model, achieving a 10-fold accuracy of 91.09%, segmentation accuracy of 95.54%, individual accuracy of 97.33%, weighted precision of 95.71%, weighted recall of 95.56%, and a weighted F1-score of 95.61%. Our results validate the effectiveness of our data acquisition and feature screening methods, and notably, our processing speed is nearly three times faster.

The rapid advancement in electronic technology has ushered in a new era for sensorarray systems, particularly within the realm of electronic olfaction, often called "electronic nose." These sophisticated devices harness various sensors, each with unique responses to diverse gases, and amalgamate their data into distinctive gas "finger-prints" with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms. In the present research we have developed a portable sensorarray system endowed with heightened sensitivity and selectivity, ideally suited for field applications in volatile organic compound (VOC) detection. This system comprises three core components: the sensor unit, the sensor support circuitry, and the processing unit. Our approach incorporates polymer modified Quartz Tuning Forks (QTFs) as sensors. Two systems were developed: the first using a microcontroller-based system having 4 sensors in the array and the second employing a Raspberry Pi (RPi)-based system incorporating 12 sensors. Various tests were conducted to evaluate these systems and compared with the NI DAQ system used for data acquisition (DAQ), which has an excellent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The SNR was compared among these three systems, taking into account the number of input channels. We conducted tests using nine different gases with a maximum of 8 different sensors in the array: acetone, ethanol, acetaldehyde, ammonia, octane, decane, isoprene, methanol, and isopropanol, to produce fingerprint output for each which will be used in ML for classification.

In this paper, we devise a sparse array design algorithm for adaptive beamforming. Our strategy is based on finding a sparse beamformer weight to maximize the output signal-tointerference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). The proposed method uses the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), and admits closed-form solutions at each ADMM iteration. Numerical results exhibit excellent performance of the proposed method, which is comparable to that of the exhaustive search approach.

In this paper, we improve estimation of the Doppler shift present in signals that originate from multiple wireless digital communication transmitters. We deploy a uniform linear array (ULA) that overhears the frequency band of interest, hence an unauthorized wireless receiver (URx), and propose an algorithm for extracting the symbol duration from the unknown modulated data. The baseband wireless modulated signal is stripped from its data-induced phase shifts, allowing us to calculate high quality estimates of the periodogram, the spectrogram, and the angle-Doppler profile. Performance results show that high quality results without artifacts from digital modulation can be obtained.

Sparsity based signal recovery has seen great success in solving underdetermined systems of equations. This success is due, in large part, to a relaxation: the l0-norm is replaced by the l1-norm, which results in a convex problem. However, such a relaxation may lead to a suboptimal solution, one that may even be asymptotically biased. We propose formulating sparse signal recovery as a binary program, and we derive the conditions under which such a formulation perfectly recovers the signal support. This derivation equips us with a constraint on the dictionary's spectrum. However, designing such a dictionary is a combinatorial problem, so we suggest a heuristic which can be readily satisfied using the alternating projections algorithm. Applied to angle of arrival (AoA) estimation using a sensorarray, we show how this paradigm outperforms both the basis pursuit l1-norm relaxation and the Matrix Pencil method.

The non-coherent source localization problem based on distributed sensorarrays can be formulated into a group sparsity based phase retrieval problem where only the magnitude (absolute value) of the received signals is available. Under such a framework, a two-dimensional localization method is proposed. Unlike traditional source localization methods, random phase errors at sensors of the distributed array will not affect estimation results by the proposed method. Simulation results indicate that the proposed non-coherent source localization method outperforms the traditional one in the presence of large phase errors, while still maintains an acceptable accuracy in the absence of phase errors.

This paper proposes a flexible multichannel speech enhancement system with the main goal of improving robustness of automatic speech recognition (ASR) in noisy conditions. The proposed system combines a flexible neural mask estimator applicable to different channel counts and configurations and a multichannel filter with automatic reference selection. A transform-attend-concatenate layer is proposed to handle cross-channel information in the mask estimator, which is shown to be effective for arbitrary microphone configurations. The presented evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of the flexible system for several seen and unseen compact array geometries, matching the performance of fixed configuration-specific systems. Furthermore, a significantly improved ASR performance is observed for configurations with randomly-placed microphones.

The problem of the decentralized Direction-ofArrival (DoA) estimation and tracking is addressed, where the sample covariance matrix is represented as a recursive update of rank-one components. Due to the fact that the conventional decentralized power method is a batch approach and involves high communication costs, we propose a distributed DoA estimation method combining the decentralized online eigenvalue decomposition and the ESPRIT algorithm. The Push-Sum protocol is applied to realize the local interactions among neighboring subarrays. The simulation results show that the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) performance of our distributed algorithm surpasses that of the power method based d-ESPRIT algorithm in the DoA estimation with lower total communication cost, and that of the decentralized Normalized Oja (d-NOja) method in DoA tracking applications with faster convergence speed.
