讲座摘要
Decentralized inference is critical in several emerging applications such as Internet of Things, intelligent connected vehicles, and network navigation. The aim of decentralized inference is to estimate time-varying states via multi-modal sensing and inter-node communication in networked systems.
In this seminar, the speaker first introduces a theoretical framework for decentralized inference, where multiple nodes in a network aim to infer their unknown states in real time under sensing and communication constraints. Specifically, conditions on the network’s sensing and communication capabilities for achieving desirable inference accuracy are derived. Next, the speaker presents systems for network navigation, where commercially available devices are used for inferring users’ positions in real time. These systems employ efficient information fusion and resource management techniques for improving the positioning accuracy.
