Research Ideas Lei Rao Jan. 17th, 2009
Inspired By Two Papers • C. Guestrin, A. Krause, and A.P. Singh, “Near-optimal sensor placements in Gaussian processes,” International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2005), 2005, p. 265. • A. Krause, C. Guestrin, A. Gupta, and J. Kleinberg, “Near-optimal sensor placements: maximizing information while minimizing communication cost,” Proceedings of the fifth international conference on Information processing in sensor networks (IPSN 2006), ACM New York, NY, USA, 2006, pp. 2-10.
Review of The First Paper: Problem Statement Assumption: the temperatures have a Gaussian joint distribution. Problem: How to find a subset of Locations that are most informative about un-sensed locations to place sensor nodes?
General Idea of The Solution • Greedy Algorithm • V is a finite location set, and A is the placement set; • Adding sensors in sequence, choosing the next sensor which provides the maximum increase in mutual information ( I(A;V\A) ); • The greedy algorithm can be proved to give a certain bound approximation to the optimal sensor placement (Based on Sub-modularity); • The complexity of computing is reduced by local kernels.
Review of The Second Paper: Improvements From The First One Solutions borrow the idea of Machine Learning Problem: How to find a subset of Locations that are most informative about un-sensed locations to place sensor nodes with communication cost under a certain bound? OR: How to find a subset of Locations that minimize the network communication cost while guarantee the placements are above a certain informative bound?
General Research Ideas • Idea 1: Power Management, how to adjust the power of each sensor so that a certain bound of information collection can be guaranteed based on the methods in previous papers. • Idea 2: Add a different constraint (as communication cost in the 2nd paper) to the problem in the 1st paper. • Idea 3: Explore SIFT to solve problems in CPS applications following a similar way.
