Complex-Valued Phase-Coherent Transformer

The paper introduces the Phase-Coherent Transformer (PCT), a complex-valued architecture that replaces traditional softmax attention with a real-valued, smooth gate applied to L2-normalised query-key similarities. PCT eliminates token competition, preserving phase information across layers, and demonstrates strong generalisation on a variety of mid-scale benchmarks, outperforming both standard softmax Transformers and other complex-valued counterparts. Experiments confirm that the gate design is essential: preserving negatively aligned phase components is crucial for performance, while violating these conditions leads to degradation or collapse on long-range tasks.

AudioFuse: Unified Spectral-Temporal Learning via a Hybrid ViT-1D CNN Architecture for Robust Phonocardiogram Classification

AudioFuse is a hybrid architecture that jointly learns from spectrograms and raw waveforms to classify phonocardiograms. It combines a wide-and-shallow Vision Transformer for spectral features with a shallow 1D CNN for temporal waveforms, reducing overfitting while capturing complementary information. On the PhysioNet 2016 dataset, AudioFuse achieves a state‑of‑the‑art ROC‑AUC of 0.8608 and shows superior robustness to domain shift on the PASCAL dataset, outperforming both spectrogram‑only and waveform‑only baselines.

CIG-MAE: Cross-Modal Information-Guided Masked Autoencoder for Self-Supervised WiFi Sensing

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.

Clearing the Underbrush: AI-Enhanced RF Interference Suppression

The paper presents an AI‑enhanced method for radio frequency interference suppression that builds on autoregressive transformer models by adding a Finite Scalar Quantization tokenizer layer. This addition improves interference rejection while maintaining low latency, and the authors also test other inference optimizations to speed up processing with minimal accuracy loss. Experiments using a digitally modulated RF signal as the signal of interest and a digital television OFDM signal as interference show that the approach outperforms traditional techniques and prior AI methods, with benefits demonstrated through audio quality metrics like PESQ and potential operational applications.

CRFCAN: A Complex-Valued Cross-Domain Residual Network for Joint Channel and Phase Noise Estimation in Sub-THz OFDM Systems

CRFCAN is a complex‑valued residual FFT convolutional attention network that jointly estimates channel and phase noise in sub‑THz OFDM systems. It embeds FFT and inverse FFT modules within residual groups to enable iterative feature interaction across time and frequency domains, and includes dedicated residual blocks for complex feature extraction and multiplicative phase‑distortion modeling. Simulation results show that CRFCAN outperforms conventional algorithms and state‑of‑the‑art deep learning models in NMSE and BER, while offering single‑shot, fixed‑complexity inference and good generalization to unseen phase‑noise models.
