In this paper, we investigate a special class of quadratic-constrained quadratic programming (QCQP) with semi-definite constraints. Traditionally, since such a problem is non-convex and N-hard, the neural network (NN) is regarded as a promising method to obtain a high-performing solution. However, due to the inherent prediction error, it is challenging to ensure all solution output by the NN is feasible. Although some existing methods propose some naive methods, they only focus on reducing the constraint violation probability, where not all solutions are feasibly guaranteed. To deal with the above challenge, in this paper a computing efficient and reliable projection is proposed, where all solution output by the NN are ensured to be feasible. Moreover, unsupervised learning is used, so the NN can be trained effectively and efficiently without labels. Theoretically, the solution of the NN after projection is proven to be feasible, and we also prove the projection method can enhance the convergence performance and speed of the NN. To evaluate our proposed method, the quality of service (QoS)-contained beamforming scenario is studied, where the simulation results show the proposed method can achieve high-performance which is competitive with the lower bound.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the field of reinforcement learning has continuously achieved breakthroughs in both theory and practice. However, traditional reinforcement learning algorithms often entail high energy consumption during interactions with the environment. Spiking Neural Network (SNN), with their low energy consumption characteristics and performance comparable to deep neural networks, have garnered widespread attention. To reduce the energy consumption of practical applications of reinforcement learning, researchers have successively proposed the Pop-SAN and MDC-SAN algorithms. Nonetheless, these algorithms use rectangular functions to approximate the spike network during the training process, resulting in low sensitivity, thus indicating room for improvement in the training effectiveness of SNN. Based on this, we propose a trapezoidal approximation gradient method to replace the spike network, which not only preserves the original stable learning state but also enhances the model's adaptability and response sensitivity under various signal dynamics. Simulation results show that the improved algorithm, using the trapezoidal approximation gradient to replace the spike network, achieves better convergence speed and performance compared to the original algorithm and demonstrates good training stability.

Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors are widely employed for Human Activity Recognition (HAR) due to their portability, energy efficiency, and growing research interest. However, a significant challenge for IMU-HAR models is achieving robust generalization performance across diverse users. This limitation stems from substantial variations in data distribution among individual users. One primary reason for this distribution disparity lies in the representation of IMU sensor data in the local coordinate system, which is susceptible to subtle user variations during IMU wearing. To address this issue, we propose a novel approach that extracts a global view representation based on the characteristics of IMU data, effectively alleviating the data distribution discrepancies induced by wearing styles. To validate the efficacy of the global view representation, we fed both global and local view data into model for experiments. The results demonstrate that global view data significantly outperforms local view data in cross-user experiments. Furthermore, we propose a Multi-view Supervised Network (MVFNet) based on Shuffling to effectively fuse local view and global view data. It supervises the feature extraction of each view through view division and view shuffling, so as to avoid the model ignoring important features as much as possible. Extensive experiments conducted on OPPORTUNITY and PAMAP2 datasets demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the current state-of-the-art methods in cross-user HAR.
