Reviews: Distribution Learning of a Random Spatial Field with a Location-Unaware Mobile Sensor
–Neural Information Processing Systems
As the title suggests, this paper uses learning-theoretic tools to study a problem of estimating a (Lipschitz) spatial field using sensors which are location-unaware. The main contributions are the formulation of the sensing problem, a proposed algorithm, an analysis of its sample complexity, and some proof-of concept experiments. While in the future this may involve new "contributions to statistical learning theory," the present study does not really develop new techniques. Overall, the problem is interesting but the paper could be strengthened significantly in several directions as noted by the reviewers. In particular some more specific motivating examples would help ground the paper -- the authors mention "spatial sensing... in smart cities or IoT or climatology" but do not elaborate.
