Speech Title: Unification of Robustness and Generalization in Visual Perception: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications

Abstract: Robustness and generalization are two core challenges in visual perception—distinct yet interdependent. Historically, they have been studied in isolation, lacking a unified theoretical framework. This presentation aims to explore the coexistence and theoretical feasibility of robustness and generalization, enabling their mutual enhancement. Specifically, it will first address generalization and robustness issues in key visual perception tasks, then establish a unified theory integrating the two. Based on this theory, diverse algorithms and applications will be proposed, providing theoretical and methodological foundations for robust and generalizable large models.

Speech Title: State Estimation-Based Intelligent Target Tracking

Abstract: Intelligent target tracking is a fundamental capability in autonomous systems, such as robotics and surveillance. This report first provides a overview and comparison of two dominant paradigms in this field: model-based  (MB)  and data-driven (DD) tracking methods. As the representative model-based methods, the Kalman filter (KF) and its variants that rely on well-defined state-space models (SSMs) have been widely adopted for their low complexity and fast convergence. However, in complex and uncertain scenarios where accurate models are hard to build, the performance of these MB methods drops considerably. To this end, the model-agnostic nature of neural networks has spurred the development of data-driven  methods for state estimation in uncertain dynamics by learning from data. These emerging DD methods still require large amounts of labeled data for effective training and lack robustness to SSM fluctuations. To address these challenges, hybrid methods have been proposed with the aim of leveraging the strengths of both MB and DD approaches while compensating for their respective weaknesses. By replacing the computation of intermediate values in MB framework which are affected by inaccurate SSM information with neural networks, these hybrid methods are capable of utilizing the strong nonlinear modeling capability of neural networks to handle highly nonlinear and inaccurate SSMs, while alleviating the need for extensive labeled data since networks are only trained to approximate intermediate values. Therefore, supported by extensive evidence, these hybrid methods position themselves as a premier strategy for future research in robust and data-efficient state estimation, addressing the long-standing challenges of complexity and uncertainty.

Speech Title: Spectrum-Efficient Random Access for Aeronautical Communication Systems

Abstract: Aeronautical communication (AC) is a key technology for future wireless networks, facing challenges like severe Doppler effects due to the high mobility of aerial user equipment (AUE) and large cell coverage causing significant round trip delay (RTD). These factors complicate reliable random access design. To tackle this, we propose a new preamble detection algorithm using short formats and a shifted partial combination mechanism, enhancing detection performance and spectral efficiency under high Doppler shifts. Additionally, a dual-end correlation-based RTD estimation method is introduced for robust delay estimation. Simulations and lab tests verify the scheme's effectiveness.
