Mobile 5G millimeter-wave multi-antenna systems
Massive antenna architectures and millimeter-wave bands appear on the horizon as the enabling technologies of future broadband wireless links, promising unprecedented spectral efficiency and data rates. In the recently ...
Data and methods for a visual understanding of sign languages
Signed languages are complete and natural languages used as the first or preferred mode of communication by millions of people worldwide. However, they, unfortunately, continue to be marginalized languages. Designing, ...
Study and application of spectral monitoring techniques for optical network optimization
One of the possible ways to address the constantly increasing amount of heterogeneous and variable internet traffic is the evolution of the current optical networks towards a more flexible, open, and disaggregated paradigm. ...
Three dimensional temporal-spatial model based SAR algorithms for monitoring large gradient deformations in mining area
Firstly, an External Model Deformation Decomposition based Persistent Scatters Interferometry (EMDD-PSI) method has been proposed. This method first uses original interferograms to optimize the parameters of the external ...
Contribution to the modelling and evaluation of radio network slicing solutions in 5G
Network slicing is a key feature of 5G architecture that allows the partitioning of the network into multiple logical networks, known as network slices, where each of them is customised according to the specific needs of ...
Learning multilingual and multimodal representations with language-specific encoders and decoders for machine translation
This thesis aims to study different language-specific approaches for Multilingual Machine Translation without parameter sharing and their properties compared to the current state-of-the-art based on parameter-sharing. We ...

Since less than a decade ago, deep learning techniques started to dominate many different fields, revolutionizing the possibilities of artificial intelligence. Seeing their potential, industrial sectors started to invest ...
Nonlinear analysis of electro-acoustic frequency-selective devices for communications
Nowadays, mobile devices have become a key technology in our lives, making us become part of a connected world, in which millions of mobile handsets are sold every year. In order to satisfy the user demands, many mobile ...
Synthesis of acoustic wave filters : ladder and transversal topologies : towards a practical implementation
The meteoric growth of the mobile communication market for the last three decades has been strongly related with the evolution of the electroacoustic (EA) filter technology. With way over 5 billion cell phone users worldwide ...
Matrix completion with prior information in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces
In matrix completion, the objective is to recover an unknown matrix from a small subset of observed entries. Most successful methods for recovering the unknown entries are based on the assumption that the unknown full ...
Self-supervised deep learning approaches to speaker recognition
In speaker recognition, i-vectors have been the state-of-the-art unsupervised technique over the last few years, whereas x-vectors is becoming the state-of-the-art supervised technique, these days. Recent advances in Deep ...
Injection of linguistic knowledge into neural text generation models
Language is an organic construct. It emanates from the need for communication and changes through time, influenced by multiple factors. The resulting language structures are a mix of regular syntactic and morphological ...
From hypothesis testing of quantum channels to secret sharing
The present thesis has three major thrusts: the first thrust presents a broad investigation of asymptotic binary hypothesis testing, when each hypothesis represents asymptotically many independent instances of a quantum ...
Design and performance analysis of advanced GNSS-R instruments back-end
GNSS reflectometry (GNSS-R) is a set of techniques that uses the reflected GNSS signals over the Earth’s surface as opportunity signals for remote sensing applications. In 1993, the European Space Agency (ESA) suggested ...
Design and implementation of an SDR-based multi-frequency ground-based SAR system
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has proven a valuable tool in the monitoring of the Earth, either at a global or local scales. SAR is a coherent radar system able to image extended areas with high resolution, and finds ...
