We study downlink beam and rate adaptation in a multi-user mmWave MISO system where multiple base stations (BSs), each using analog beamforming from finite codebooks, serve multiple single-antenna user equipments (UEs) with a unique beam per UE and discrete data transmission rates. BSs learn about transmission success based on ACK/NACK feedback. To encode service goals, we introduce a satisficing throughput threshold $τ_r$ and cast joint beam and rate adaptation as a combinatorial semi-bandit over beam-rate tuples. Within this framework, we propose SAT-CTS, a lightweight, threshold-aware policy that blends conservative confidence estimates with posterior sampling, steering learning toward meeting $τ_r$ rather than merely maximizing. Our main theoretical contribution provides the first finite-time regret bounds for combinatorial semi-bandits with satisficing objective: when $τ_r$ is realizable, we upper bound the cumulative satisficing regret to the target with a time-independent constant, and when $τ_r$ is non-realizable, we show that SAT-CTS incurs only a finite expected transient outside committed CTS rounds, after which its regret is governed by the sum of the regret contributions of restarted CTS rounds, yielding an $O((\log T)^2)$ standard regret bound. On the practical side, we evaluate the performance via cumulative satisficing regret to $τ_r$ alongside standard regret and fairness. Experiments with time-varying sparse multipath channels show that SAT-CTS consistently reduces satisficing regret and maintains competitive standard regret, while achieving favorable average throughput and fairness across users, indicating that feedback-efficient learning can equitably allocate beams and rates to meet QoS targets without channel state knowledge.

The robust low-rank tensor completion problem addresses the challenge of recovering corrupted high-dimensional tensor data with missing entries, outliers, and sparse noise commonly found in real-world applications. Existing methodologies have encountered fundamental limitations due to their reliance on uniform regularization schemes, particularly the tensor nuclear norm and $\ell_1$ norm regularization approaches, which indiscriminately apply equal shrinkage to all singular values and sparse components, thereby compromising the preservation of critical tensor structures. The proposed tensor weighted correlated total variation (TWCTV) regularizer addresses these shortcomings through an $M$-product framework that combines a weighted Schatten-$p$ norm on gradient tensors for low-rankness with smoothness enforcement and weighted sparse components for noise suppression. The proposed weighting scheme adaptively reduces the thresholding level to preserve both dominant singular values and sparse components, thus improving the reconstruction of critical structural elements and nuanced details in the recovered signal. Through a systematic algorithmic approach, we introduce an enhanced alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) that offers both computational efficiency and theoretical substantiation, with convergence properties comprehensively analyzed within the $M$-product framework.Comprehensive numerical evaluations across image completion, denoising, and background subtraction tasks validate the superior performance of this approach relative to established benchmark methods.

Nonrigid registration is conventionally divided into point set registration, which aligns sparse geometries, and image registration, which aligns continuous intensity fields on regular grids. However, this dichotomy creates a critical bottleneck for emerging scientific data, such as spatial transcriptomics, where high-dimensional vector-valued functions, e.g., gene expression, are defined on irregular, sparse manifolds. Consequently, researchers currently face a forced choice: either sacrifice single-cell resolution via voxelization to utilize image-based tools, or ignore the critical functional signal to utilize geometric tools. To resolve this dilemma, we propose Domain Elastic Transform (DET), a grid-free probabilistic framework that unifies geometric and functional alignment. By treating data as functions on irregular domains, DET registers high-dimensional signals directly without binning. We formulate the problem within a rigorous Bayesian framework, modeling domain deformation as an elastic motion guided by a joint spatial-functional likelihood. The method is fully unsupervised and scalable, utilizing feature-sensitive downsampling to handle massive atlases. We demonstrate that DET achieves 92\% topological preservation on MERFISH data where state-of-the-art optimal transport methods struggle ($<$5\%), and successfully registers whole-embryo Stereo-seq atlases across developmental stages -- a task involving massive scale and complex nonrigid growth. The implementation of DET is available on {https://github.com/ohirose/bcpd} (since Mar, 2025).

Autocorrelation is a defining characteristic of time-series data, where each observation is statistically dependent on its predecessors. In the context of deep time-series forecasting, autocorrelation arises in both the input history and the label sequences, presenting two central research challenges: (1) designing neural architectures that model autocorrelation in history sequences, and (2) devising learning objectives that model autocorrelation in label sequences. Recent studies have made strides in tackling these challenges, but a systematic survey examining both aspects remains lacking. To bridge this gap, this paper provides a comprehensive review of deep time-series forecasting from the perspective of autocorrelation modeling. In contrast to existing surveys, this work makes two distinctive contributions. First, it proposes a novel taxonomy that encompasses recent literature on both model architectures and learning objectives -- whereas prior surveys neglect or inadequately discuss the latter aspect. Second, it offers a thorough analysis of the motivations, insights, and progression of the surveyed literature from a unified, autocorrelation-centric perspective, providing a holistic overview of the evolution of deep time-series forecasting.

Channel state information (CSI) feedback in frequency-division duplex (FDD) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems is fundamentally limited by the high dimensionality of wideband channels. In this paper, we model the stacked wideband CSI vector as a Gaussian-mixture source with a latent geometry state that represents different propagation environments. Each component corresponds to a locally stationary regime characterized by a correlated proper complex Gaussian distribution with its own covariance matrix. This representation captures the multimodal nature of practical CSI datasets while preserving the analytical tractability of Gaussian models. Motivated by this structure, we propose Gaussian-mixture transform coding (GMTC), a practical CSI feedback architecture that combines state inference with state-adaptive TC. The mixture parameters are learned offline from channel samples and stored as a shared statistical dictionary at both the user equipment (UE) and the base station. For each CSI realization, the UE identifies the most likely geometry state, encodes the corresponding label using a lossless source code, and compresses the CSI using the Karhunen-Loeve transform matched to that state. We further characterize the fundamental limits of CSI compression under this model by deriving analytical converse and achievability bounds on the rate-distortion (RD) function. A key structural result is that the optimal bit allocation across all mixture components is governed by a single global reverse-waterfilling level. Simulations on the COST2100 dataset show that GMTC significantly improves the RD tradeoff relative to neural transform coding approaches while requiring substantially smaller model memory and lower inference complexity. These results indicate that near-optimal CSI compression can be achieved through state-adaptive TC without relying on large neural encoders.

In this paper, we focus on SCI recovery algorithms that employ untrained neural networks (UNNs), such as deep image prior (DIP), to model source structure.

Gating, as used in gated recurrent units (GRUs) [4] and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks [12], has become common-place in recurrent architectures. Gates facilitate the learning of longer term temporal relationships [12]. Furthermore, in the presence of noise in the input signal, gates can protect the cell state from undesired updates, thereby improving overall stability and convergence.

Knowing how the classifiers perform on unseen OOD data remains as a challenging task, owing tothetrain-test distribution divergence [3].
