Workshop #1
Title: Lung Cancer Detection by the Analysis of A Biomarker Toluene Based on Multi-task Simpleformer Model
Summary:
Lung cancer is one of the most threatening malignancies to human health and life. Early detection and treatment can improve the five-year survival rate. As a key biomarker for lung cancer diagnosis, toluene can be used for breath simulation analysis of lung cancer patients, which can complement the existing lung cancer diagnosis methods and improve the diagnosis rate of lung cancer. In this paper, a multi-task simple transformer model is proposed in the electronic nose system to conduct gas-sensing experiments on toluene in low-concentration environments. Encoder blocks are shared and two tasks are performed simultaneously, achieving fast and accurate target recognition and concentration prediction at low concentrations. The accuracy of the model on the target recognition task is 98.52%, which is better than the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) (89.06%) and the Support Vector Machine (SVM) (91.17%). The root mean square error on the concentration prediction task is 0.0369ppm, outperforming the Support Vector Regression (SVR) (0.0898ppm) and the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) (0.0725ppm). The experimental results show that the MT-Simpleformer has good prediction performance for the identification and concentration of a lung cancer biomarker (toluene) under dynamic, low-concentration conditions. It provides an effective reference method for rapid, economical, and non-invasive lung cancer screening.

Title: Distributed Machine Learning for Internet of Things
Summary:
Machine learning has been an essential technology in a variety of applications, enabling them to extract knowledge from vast amounts of raw data, gain insight into complex trends, and guide optimization processes. However, traditional machine learning always operates in a centralized manner, placing high demands on the computation, storage, and energy of the learning agent, which is incompatible with emerging IoT devices characterized by limited onboard resources. Distributed learning that leverages the power of multiple IoT devices connected via a network to train learning models in a distributed and parallel manner, has emerged as a promising approach to address this problem. While distributed learning hold great potentials for smart IoT applications, the interaction and collaboration among multiple learning agents present many new research challenges. For example, how to efficiently divide learning tasks among multiple agents in IoT networks with highly dynamic topology. Moreover, learning knowledge and decision sharing in distributed learning may raise big problems of trust and security of connected smart IoT devices. This workshop sets up a platform for collaboration and discussions on both the challenges and opportunities on distributed learning empowered IoT, and prospective authors are encouraged to contribute their original research advances here.

Title: Advanced Power Amplifiers and Its Linearity Methods
Summary:
With the successful deployment of 5G communication systems, significant progress has been made in data capacity and service quality. At the same time, the operation bands and signal modulation scheme are both increased a lot. As a key block in the wireless transmitter, power amplifier (PA) is required to have wide operation band, high back-off efficiency and good linearity.

Workshop #20
Title: Computer Vision and Its Application in Unmanned Systems
Summary:
The unmanned systems are widely used in both civilian and military fields, which will change people's way of life and fighting-pattern of war. As one kind of intelligent perception technology for unmanned systems, the computer vision technology has been investigated by a large number of researchers. However, there still exists many environmental factors for application of the computer vision technology, such as heavy rain and fog, uneven illumination of dark space light sources, and high dust, et. al. These environmental factors lead to poor image quality, high difficulty in reconstruction of 3D scenes, and low accuracy in object detection and recognition. As a result, the computer vision technology is hard to be applied in unmanned systems effectively. To promote thetheory andapplication of the computer vision in unmanned systems,this workshop proposes a topic "Computer Vision and Its Application in Unmanned Systems".

Workshop #21
Title: Advanced Machine Learning Theory for Unmanned Swarm Networks
Summary:
Unmanned swarm networks have gained significant attention from both academia and industry. Various unmanned platforms, such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and Unmanned Vehicles, need to connect to the network for overcoming information isolation and offer diverse services. These high-dynamic unmanned platforms result in a new clan of networks named Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs).MANET is a dynamic network consisting of mobile nodes that continuously configure and organize themselves, without relying on any fixed infrastructure. It offers excellent mobility and enables connectivity even in remote locations.Dealing with real-time communication and ensuring end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees in MANETs is exceptionally challenging due to the constant mobility of nodes. To achieve maximum efficiency and resilience, MANETs need to possess intelligent capabilities to adapt to highly dynamic topologies and diverse QoS requirements.
Recently, advanced machine learning based approaches have been regarded as key enablers for communication networks. Advanced machine learning techniques for network management, operations, and automation improve the way we address networking today. Therefore, machine learning is also believed to hold significant potential in addressing the challenges faced by MANETs, particularly in areas such as intelligent self-organizing networking, adaptive traffic control, and security issues. Machine learning has the capability to extract valuable knowledge from data and adapt effectively to the dynamic environment of MANETs. While researchers and practitioners have started exploring various machine learning techniques to enhance the performance of MANETs, there remain numerous challenges to be tackled. Key questions arise regarding the optimal deployment of machine learning in such a highly dynamic network environment.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research accomplishments provided by researchers from academia and the industry. The other goal is to show the latest research results in the field of Advanced Machine Learning Theory for Unmanned Swarm Networks. We encourage prospective authors to submit related distinguished research papers on the subject of both: theoretical approaches and practical case reviews.
