We present NeWRF, a novel deep-learning-based framework for predicting wireless channels. Wireless channel prediction is a long-standing problem in the wireless community and is a key technology for improving the coverage of wireless network deployments. Today, a wireless deployment is evaluated by a site survey which is a cumbersome process requiring an experienced engineer to perform extensive channel measurements. To reduce the cost of site surveys, we develop NeWRF, which is based on recent advances in Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF). NeWRF trains a neural network model with a sparse set of channel measurements, and predicts the wireless channel accurately at any location in the site. We introduce a series of techniques that integrate wireless propagation properties into the NeRF framework to account for the fundamental differences between the behavior of light and wireless signals. We conduct extensive evaluations of our framework and show that our approach can accurately predict channels at unvisited locations with significantly lower measurement density than prior state-of-the-art.

Explainable machine learning significantly improves the transparency of deep neural networks. However, existing work is constrained to explaining the behavior of individual model predictions, and lacks the ability to transfer the explanation across various models and tasks. This limitation results in explaining various tasks being time- and resource-consuming. To address this problem, we introduce a **Transferable Vision Explainer** (TVE) that can effectively explain various vision models in downstream tasks. Specifically, the transferability of TVE is realized through a pre-training process on large-scale datasets towards learning the meta-attribution. This meta-attribution leverages the versatility of generic backbone encoders to comprehensively encode the attribution knowledge for the input instance, which enables TVE to seamlessly transfer to explaining various downstream tasks, without the need for training on task-specific data. Empirical studies involve explaining three different architectures of vision models across three diverse downstream datasets. The experiment results indicate TVE is effective in explaining these tasks without the need for additional training on downstream data.

Multi-instance point cloud registration is the problem of estimating multiple rigid transformations between two point clouds. Existing solutions rely on global spatial consistency of ambiguity and the time-consuming clustering of highdimensional correspondence features, making it difficult to handle registration scenarios where multiple instances overlap. To address these problems, we propose a maximal clique based multiinstance point cloud registration framework called PointMC. The key idea is to search for maximal cliques on the correspondence compatibility graph to estimate multiple transformations, and cluster these transformations into clusters corresponding to different instances to efficiently and accurately estimate all poses. PointMC leverages a correspondence embedding module that relies on local spatial consistency to effectively eliminate outliers, and the extracted discriminative features empower the network to circumvent missed pose detection in scenarios involving multiple overlapping instances. We conduct comprehensive experiments on both synthetic and real-world datasets, and the results show that the proposed PointMC yields remarkable performance improvements.
