As a decentralized machine learning paradigm, Federated Learning (FL) is an emerging technique to protect user data privacy in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC). FL adopts the idea of distributed privacy computing, enabling the terminal devices to train machine learning models required by servers locally and upload model parameters to servers for aggregation. However, in the process of coupling FL with MEC systems, device heterogeneity, malicious use of poisoned data by users and limited system resources will seriously affect FL training accuracy, system reliability and energy efficiency. In this paper, a highly reliable and energy-efficient FL scheme is designed to solve these issues. Specifically, we first propose a calculation method for estimating the reliability of heterogeneous devices. Then, we design a highly reliable device selection scheme based on devices’ reliability, computing power, and participation times. Finally, we utilize the slack time in FL training to dynamically adjust the voltage and frequency of devices for reducing the energy consumption of training. Experimental results show that our proposed scheme improves the accuracy by up to 36.45% on average and saves energy by up to 48.63% when compared to the baseline and benchmarking methods.

Near-term quantum computations are limited by high error rates, the scarcity of qubits and low qubit connectivity. Increasing support for mid-circuit measurements and qubit reset in near-term quantum computers enables qubit reuse that may yield quantum computations with fewer qubits and lower errors. In this work, we introduce a formal model for qubit reuse optimization that delivers provably optimal solutions with respect to quantum circuit depth, number of qubits, or number of swap gates for the first time. This is in contrast to related work where qubit reuse is used heuristically or optimally but without consideration of the mapping effort. We further investigate reset errors on near-term quantum computers by performing reset error characterization experiments. Using the hereby obtained reset error characterization and calibration data of a near-term quantum computer, we then determine a qubit assignment that is optimal with respect to a given cost function. We define this cost function to include gate errors and decoherence as well as the individual reset error of each qubit. We found the reset fidelity to be state-dependent and to range, depending on the reset qubit, from 67.5% to 100% in a near-term quantum computer. We demonstrate the applicability of the developed method to a number of quantum circuits and show improvements in the number of qubits and swap gate insertions, estimated success probability, and Hellinger fidelity of the investigated quantum circuits.

Vision is a vital sense that plays a pivotal role in our understanding of the world. The majority of our external information is acquired through our visual system, which significantly impacts various aspects of our lives, including mobility, cognitive abilities, access to information, and how we interact with both our surroundings and other individuals. Hence, individuals who need assisted living due to visual challenges are left behind and rely on human-driven image captioning services to make sense of their surroundings. In response to this challenge, we have developed a proof-of-concept system that integrates a large language model like ChatGPT to provide assistance to individuals with visual impairments in their daily lives through the utilisation of image captioning techniques. Our proposed model leverages the image captioning technique to describe the user’s environment. It is a fusion of concepts from Deep Learning and the Internet of Things, enabling it to provide more informative and enriched image captions. In this process, ChatGPT is stimulated to generate increasingly detailed and informative descriptions of images, allowing users to gain a deeper understanding of their surroundings. Our findings show that the proposed system generates captions that are contextually relevant to the visual content. These captions can assist individuals in various day-today activities, contributing to an improved quality of life.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) has been established as a reliable tool for monitoring cardiovascular health. Vast amount of ECG recordings can pose a challenge for its processing and analysis and seeking out experts to analyze such a large amount of ECG data can deplete valuable medical resources. Recently, there has been a growing interest in automatic methods for accurate heartbeat categorization. Our motivation behind this work is to improve efficiency and accuracy for arrhythmia classification based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). We first pre-process the input signals by normalizing them using a z-score. Following the data segmentation, the under-represented classes are oversampled using random duplication. By randomly duplicating the samples of underrepresented categories and eliminating instances from the overrepresented categories, this approach minimizes the imbalance in the training data. We propose an efficient 12-layer 1D-CNN to classify cardiac arrhythmia into five classes. We demonstrate the oversampling technique’s impact on the proposed CNN’s performance by comparing its performance before and after its application.
