This study investigates the ligand exchange process with different ion pair combinations to improve stability. Surprisingly, altering the ligand ion combinations leads to a deviation from pure blue emission in CsPbBrxCl3-x nanocrystals […]

Abstract 3D Dynamic Meshes can deliver engaging experiences in various applications, but the storage and transmission demands associated with these data structures can be prohibitive. We address this challenge with an efficient compression technique leveraging embedded key nodes. The temporal motion of each vertex is formulated as a distance-weighted combination of transformations from neighboring key […]

Zoom Link: https://hku.zoom.us/j/95380440070 Abstract Complex-valued convolution neural networks (CVCNNs) have been recently applied for modulation recognition (MR), due to its ability to capture the relationship between the real and imaginary parts of the received signal. On the other hand, the transformer model has been shown to be distinguished in MR by its superior capability to […]

Abstract Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), especially in large language models (LLMs), have dramatically increased model sizes and computational demands, significantly straining computing system capabilities. This issue is particularly acute in resource-constrained edge AI scenarios, where efficient hardware acceleration of compute-intensive tasks and optimization of data reuse to minimize costly data transfers are essential.

Their common operation is to aggregate high-dimensional data, which causes a communication bottleneck that cannot be resolved using traditional orthogonal multi-access schemes. A promising solution, called over-the-air computation (AirComp), exploits channels’ waveform […]

Abstract Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is envisioned to be a promising 6G technology which changes wireless communications from “adapting to wireless channels” to “changing wireless channels”. However, current IRS configuration schemes, consisting of sub-channel estimation and passive beamforming, are model-based designs and are difficult to be realized in practical and complex radio environment. To create […]
