In complex systems, signals may come from different sources. For example, the physiological signals in medical systems may be electroencephalogram, electromyography, photoplethysmography, or CT image; the autonomous or auxiliary driving system may utilize (infrared) images from cameras and cloud data from LiDAR; the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoTs) may adopt the data from various sensors, etc. Traditional learning models may fail to process these complex signals.
The complex signals from different sources follow a mixture of distributions. In some complex systems, it is difficult to grasp the information from several aspects, which requires fusing the information from different views. Even if complex signals are from the same source, they may still follow a mixture of distributions, which differs from the assumption in the traditional learning model. Furthermore, the signals for learning may follow a different distribution in real applications, or there are not enough data for learning, which may need to reuse the learning model from existing or historical data. These challenges strongly affect the signal processing in complex systems. This special issue will focus on handling these challenges to enhance hypercomplex signal processing and make complex systems smarter.
This special issue will provide a chance to connect researchers and practitioners to share their state-of-the-art discoveries and findings about hypercomplex signal processing in complex systems, such as hypercomplex signal processing in the Internet of Things (IoT), hypercomplex signal processing in traffic and environment systems, hypercomplex signal processing in social networks, and hypercomplex signal processing in information systems.
