The paper introduces Radio‑Frequency Convolutional Neural Networks (RF‑CNNs), which repurpose the frequency mixer in wireless radios to perform convolutional neural network inference directly on edge devices. By mapping multi‑channel convolutions onto frequency tones, the passive mixer can execute the entire operation in a single pass, enabling deep CNNs with up to 26.4 million parameters and nine layers to run on smartphones, wearables, and drones. Experimental results show near full‑precision performance while reducing energy consumption to 0.72 fJ per multiply‑accumulate—two orders of magnitude lower than adding a digital processor.

arXiv:2510. 18668v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Wearable cardiovascular sensor patches promise continuous, unobtrusive monitoring, but their tight energy, memory, and compute budgets make it unclear whether physiological signals should be analyzed on the device or streamed to the cloud for processing.

CIG-MAE is a self‑supervised framework for WiFi‑based human action recognition that uses a cross‑modal masked autoencoder to reconstruct both amplitude and phase of Channel State Information. It introduces an adaptive, information‑guided masking strategy that focuses on high‑density time‑frequency regions and employs a Barlow Twins regularizer to align cross‑modal representations without negative samples. Experiments on three public datasets show that CIG‑MAE outperforms state‑of‑the‑art SSL methods and even surpasses a fully supervised baseline, highlighting its data efficiency, robustness, and generalization.

Radio frequency (RF) fingerprinting authenticates wireless devices from hardware-induced I/Q impairments, typically with deep learning feature extractors that are accurate but opaque, limiting their use in security critical settings. We propose Polar Monotonic Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (Polar MKAN), a block partitioned monotonic encoder on polar inputs in which each latent dimension depends exclusively on magnitude or phase, yielding channel separation and monotone responses by construction.
The paper presents a novel multi‑exit computational scheme for TinyML on an ultra‑low‑power GAP9 SoC, adding confidence‑based gating points to a MobileNetV2 CNN for ImageNet‑100. By allowing inference to stop early, the approach cuts average MAC operations by 41 % (from 313 MMAC to 185 MMAC), reduces inference time by 29 % (49 ms to 35 ms), and saves 24 % in energy (2.1 mJ to 1.6 mJ per frame) with only a ~1 % drop in accuracy. Compared to a state‑of‑the‑art adaptive CNN on the same hardware, the method more than doubles computational efficiency, raising MAC/cycle from 8.1 to 17.2.

OpenVeinNet is a finger vein verification framework that tackles open-set scenarios by combining Dynamic Snake Convolution, which extracts local curvilinear vein structures through adaptive sampling, with a graph convolutional backbone that models long-range topological relationships between vein regions. The model introduces a Centroid Angular Hybrid Loss to promote intra-class compactness and inter-class angular separation in the embedding space. Experiments on five public datasets under leave-one-dataset-out training demonstrate strong cross-dataset generalisation, low equal error rates, and competitive true accept rates at fixed false accept rates.
