Fiber optic sensors that utilize backscattered light offer distributed real-time measurements and have been seen tremendous improvements in sensing distance and spatial resolution over the last ***, these improvements in sensor capabilities lead to a significant increase in the amount of data that needs to be processed. Traditional processing schemes are no longer adequate, so the development of novel signal processing methods is critical. Phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry(Φ-OTDR) is now applied in various applications for multi-event recognition, and it would usually be difficult, sometimes even unrealistic to label all the acquired samples due to its real-time and seamless monitoring nature. To fully take advantage of the information contained within the large number of unlabeled samples, which were formerly not utilized and hence wasted, we propose a semi-supervised model to boost the event classification performance of Φ-OTDR. The model extracts respectively the temporal features and the spatial bidirectional features together with a dual attention mechanism. Its classification accuracy has been improved up to 96.9%with only 1230 labeled samples. In addition, our model shows significant advantages when the number of labeled samples is reduced. Importantly, our method improves the accuracy of multi-event classification without any modification to the optical setup.

Recommender systems are effective in mitigating information overload, yet the centralized storage of user data raises significant privacy concerns. Cross-user federated recommendation(CUFR) provides a promising distributed paradigm to address these concerns by enabling privacy-preserving recommendations directly on user devices. In this survey, we review and categorize current progress in CUFR, focusing on four key aspects: privacy, security, accuracy, and efficiency. Firstly,we conduct an in-depth privacy analysis, discuss various cases of privacy leakage, and then review recent methods for privacy protection. Secondly, we analyze security concerns and review recent methods for untargeted and targeted *** untargeted attack methods, we categorize them into data poisoning attack methods and parameter poisoning attack methods. For targeted attack methods, we categorize them into user-based methods and item-based methods. Thirdly,we provide an overview of the federated variants of some representative methods, and then review the recent methods for improving accuracy from two categories: data heterogeneity and high-order information. Fourthly, we review recent methods for improving training efficiency from two categories: client sampling and model compression. Finally, we conclude this survey and explore some potential future research topics in CUFR.

Mobile apps have become widely adopted in our daily lives. To facilitate app discovery, most app markets provide recommendations for users, which may significantly impact how apps are accessed. However, little has been known about the underlying relationships and how they reflect(or affect) user behaviors. To fill this gap, we characterize the app recommendation relationships in the i OS app store from the perspective of the complex network. We collect a dataset containing over 1.3 million apps and 50 million app recommendations. This dataset enables us to construct a complex network that captures app recommendation relationships. Through this, we explore the recommendation relationships between mobile apps and how these relationships reflect or affect user behavior patterns. The insights gained from our research can be valuable for understanding typical user behaviors and identifying potential policy-violating apps.

Machine learning has been massively utilized to construct data-driven solutions for predicting the lifetime of rechargeable batteries in recent years, which project the physical measurements obtained during the early charging/discharging cycles to the remaining useful lifetime. While most existing techniques train the prediction model through minimizing the prediction error only, the errors associated with the physical measurements can also induce negative impact to the prediction accuracy. Although total-least-squares(TLS) regression has been applied to address this issue, it relies on the unrealistic assumption that the distributions of measurement errors on all input variables are equivalent, and cannot appropriately capture the practical characteristics of battery degradation. In order to tackle this challenge, this work intends to model the variations along different input dimensions, thereby improving the accuracy and robustness of battery lifetime prediction. In specific, we propose an innovative EM-TLS framework that enhances the TLS-based prediction to accommodate dimension-variate errors, while simultaneously investigating the distributions of them using expectation-maximization(EM). Experiments have been conducted to validate the proposed method based on the data of commercial Lithium-Ion batteries, where it reduces the prediction error by up to 29.9 % compared with conventional TLS. This demonstrates the immense potential of the proposed method for advancing the R&D of rechargeable batteries.
