Matrix factorization (MF) and its extensions have been intensively studied in computer vision and machine learning. In this paper, unsupervised and supervised learning methods based on MF technique on complex domain are introduced. Projective complex matrix factorization (PCMF) and discriminant projective complex matrix factorization (DPCMF) present two frameworks of projecting complex data to a lower dimension space. The optimization problems are formulated as the minimization of the real-valued functions of complex variables.

Acoustic source localization in sensor network is a challenging task because of severe constraints on cost, energy, and effective range of sensor devices. To overcome these limitations in existing solutions, this paper formally describes, designs, implements, and evaluates a Half Plane Intersection method to Sequence-Based Localization, i.e., HPI-SBL, in distributed smartphone networks. The localization space can be divided into distinct regions, and each region can be uniquely identified by the node sequence that represents the ranking of distances from the reference nodes to the region.

For a musical instrument sound containing partials, or modes, the behavior of modes around the attack time is particularly important. However, accurately decomposing it around the attack time is not an easy task, especially when the onset is sharp. This is because spectra of the modes are peaky while the sharp onsets need a broad one. In this paper, an optimization-based method of modal decomposition is proposed to achieve accurate decomposition around the attack time.

The two major roadblocks for state of the art Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure like smart buildings, smart cities, etc. are lack of trust between various entities of system and single point of failure which is a vulnerability causing extreme damage to the whole system. This paper proposes a blockchain based IoT security solution where, trust is established through the immutable and decentralized nature of blockchain. The distributed nature of blockchain makes the system more robust and immune to single point of failure.

Neural networks have shown great potential in many applications like speech recognition, drug discovery, image classification, and object detection. Neural network models are inspired by biological neural networks, but they are optimized to perform machine learning tasks on digital computers.

Compressed sensing (CS) is a sampling paradigm
that allows to simultaneously measure and compress signals that
are sparse or compressible in some domain. The choice of a
sensing matrix that carries out the measurement has a defining
impact on the system performance and it is often advocated to
draw its elements randomly. It has been noted that in the presence
of input (signal) noise, the application of the sensing matrix causes
SNR degradation due to the noise folding effect. In fact, it might
