    A Low-Complexity Solution for Optimizing Binary Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces towards Wireless Communication
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024) Janawade, S.A.; Krishnan, P.; Kandasamy, K.; Holla, S.S.; Rao, K.; Chandrasekar, A.
    Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces (IRSs) enable us to have a reconfigurable reflecting surface that can efficiently deflect the transmitted signal toward the receiver. The initial step in the IRS usually involves estimating the channel between a fixed transmitter and a stationary receiver. After estimating the channel, the problem of finding the most optimal IRS configuration is non-convex, and involves a huge search in the solution space. In this work, we propose a novel and customized technique which efficiently estimates the channel and configures the IRS with fixed transmit power, restricting the IRS coefficients to  (Formula presented.). The results from our approach are numerically compared with existing optimization techniques.The key features of the linear system model under consideration include a Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) setup consisting of 4096 RIS elements arranged in a 64 × 64 element array; the distance from RIS to the access point measures 107 m. NLOS users are located around 40 m away from the RIS element and 100 m from the access point. The estimated variance of noise  (Formula presented.)  is 3.1614  (Formula presented.). The proposed algorithm provides an overall data rate of 126.89 (MBits/s) for Line of Sight and 66.093 (MBits/s) for Non Line of Sight (NLOS) wireless communication. © 2024 by the authors.

    End-to-End Speech Recognition for Low Resource Language Sanskrit using Self-Supervised Learning
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Holla, S.S.; Kumar, T.N.M.; Hiretanad, J.R.; Deepak, K.T.; Narasimhadhan, A.V.
    We are presenting the work on building a speaker independent, continuous speech recognition system for Samskruta (also called Sanskrit) using self-supervised learning. We have used a Pre-trained model from the Vakyansh team where the model is trained using 10,000 Hrs of data with 23 Indic languages and Fine-tuned it using a data-set containing nearly 78 Hrs of Samskruta audio along with their transcription taken from Vaksancaya - Sanskrit Speech Corpus from IIT Bombay. Acoustic representations are learned in an end-to-end deep learning approach using the wav2vec2.0 architecture from Fairseq. On top of this acoustic model, a language model is used to increase the overall performance. Our system provides a word error rate (WER) of 5.1 % on test data and 2.4% on train data. Meanwhile we built a graphical user interface in the form of a web page using the Flask framework, which provides an interactive platform for the user to record audio and see the transcription in real-time. To the best of our knowledge, our approach using self-supervised learning, gives better performance compared to the state of the art methods. © 2022 IEEE.
