Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces (IRSs) are a promising technology for enhancing the spectral and energy efficiency of millimeter-wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. In these systems, accurate channel estimation remains challenging due to the passive nature of IRS elements and the high pilot overhead in large-scale deployments. This paper presents a deep learning-based Multi-Block Attention (MBA) framework for efficient cascaded channel estimation in IRS-assisted mmWave MIMO systems that utilize orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). First, we show the optimality of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and Hadamard matrices as phase configurations for least squares (LS) estimation. To reduce training overhead, we selectively deactivate IRS elements and compensate for induced feature loss using a two-stage architecture: (i) a Convolutional Attention Network (CAN) for spatial correlation recovery and (ii) a Complex Multi-Convolutional Network (CMN) for noise suppression. The MBA architecture mitigates error propagation through attention-guided feature refinement and denoising. Simulation results indicate that the MBA method reduces pilot overhead by up to 87% compared to the LS estimator. Additionally, at signal-to-noise ratios of 10 dB, our proposed method achieves approximately 51% lower normalized mean squared error (NMSE) than leading methods. It also maintains low computational complexity and adapts effectively to various propagation environments.

Image inpainting is a valuable technique for enhancing images that have been corrupted. The primary challenge in this research revolves around the extent of corruption in the input image that the deep learning model must restore. To address this challenge, we introduce a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) for learning and replicating the missing pixels. Additionally, we have developed a distinct variant of the Super-Resolution GAN (SRGAN), which we refer to as the Semi-SRGAN (SSRGAN). Furthermore, we leveraged three diverse datasets to assess the robustness and accuracy of our proposed model. Our training process involves varying levels of pixel corruption to attain optimal accuracy and generate high-quality images.

Generating realistic images from human texts is one of the most challenging problems in the field of computer vision (CV). The meaning of descriptions given can be roughly reflected by existing text-to-image approaches. In this paper, our main purpose is to propose a brief comparison between five different methods base on the Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) to make image from the text. In addition, each model architectures synthesis images with different resolution. Furthermore, the best and worst obtained resolutions is 64*64, 256*256 respectively. However, we checked and compared some metrics that introduce the accuracy of each model. Also, by doing this study, we found out the best model for this problem by comparing these different approaches essential metrics.
