Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The continuous progress of science and technology requires the development of information processing systems to seek new progressive methods and design solutions for performing calculations. Primary information is derived from various sources in the form of signals. By default, this means that signals can be one-dimensional, two-dimensional (images) and multi-dimensional. In our proposed Special Issue, we plan to address a wide range of issues related to broadly understood digital signal processing and its application in modern electronic systems and telecommunication networks. This Special Issue will highlight the latest technological developments in digital signal processing, as well as deep learning. We invite researchers and investigators to submit original research or review articles to this Special Issue.

The scope of this Special Issue will be broadly interpreted to include, but not be limited to, the following topics:

  • Signal registration, representation and analysis;
  • Automatic extraction of data from signals;
  • Algorithms for real-time digital signal processing (DSP);
  • Digital signal processing for communication and networking;
  • Image, video and multidimensional signal processing;
  • Internet-of-things signals;
  • Machine learning for digital signal processing;
  • Digital signal processing for machine learning;
  • Medical signal processing;
  • Multimedia signal processing;
  • 3D signal analysis and applications;

This paper presents the type-II fast discrete Hartley transform (DHT-II) algorithms for input data sequences of lengths from 2 to 8. The starting point for developing the eight algorithms is the representation of DHT-II as a matrix–vector product. The underlying matrices usually have a good block structure. These matrices must then be successfully factorized to obtain a computational procedure that reduces the number of operations in computing the matrix–vector product. In some cases, it is necessary to pre-decompose the original matrices into submatrices and rearrange the rows and/or columns of the resulting matrices to find the factorizations that would substantially save the arithmetic operations. As a result of applying the pointed transformations, we synthesized the final algorithms with reduced computational complexity. The correctness of the obtained algorithmic solutions was theoretically justified using the rigorous mathematical background of each of them. Then, the complex algorithms were further tested using the MATLAB R2023b software to confirm their performance. Finally, an evaluation of the computational complexity for each obtained solution was compared with the computational complexity of the direct calculation of the matrix–vector product and existing fast DHT-II algorithms. The obtained factorizations of the DHT-II transformation matrices on average reduce the number of additions by 5% and the number of multiplications by 73% compared with the direct calculation of the matrix–vector product.

Theano, TensorFlow, Keras, Torch, PyTorch, and other software frameworks have remarkably stimulated the popularity of deep learning (DL). Apart from all the good they achieve, the danger of such frameworks is that they unintentionally spur a black-box attitude. Some practitioners play around with building blocks offered by frameworks and rely on them, having a superficial understanding of the internal mechanics. This paper constitutes a concise tutorial that elucidates the flows of signals and gradients in deep neural networks, enabling readers to successfully implement a deep network from scratch. By “from scratch”, we mean with access to a programming language and numerical libraries but without any components that hide DL computations underneath. To achieve this goal, the following five topics need to be well understood: (1) automatic differentiation, (2) the initialization of weights, (3) learning algorithms, (4) regularization, and (5) the organization of computations. We cover all of these topics in the paper. From a tutorial perspective, the key contributions include the following: (a) proposition of R and S operators for tensors—rashape and stack, respectively—that facilitate algebraic notation of computations involved in convolutional, pooling, and flattening layers; (b) a Python project named hmdl (“home-made deep learning”); and (c) consistent notation across all mathematical contexts involved. The hmdl project serves as a practical example of implementation and a reference. It was built using NumPy and Numba modules with JIT and CUDA amenities applied. In the experimental section, we compare hmdl implementation to Keras (backed with TensorFlow). Finally, we point out the consistency of the two in terms of convergence and accuracy, and we observe the superiority of the latter in terms of efficiency. Full article
