Book excerpt: The ocean covers more than 70% of the earth, which provides rich biological, chemical, mineral and space resources for the development of human civilization. The cause of managing the ocean is of strategic importance to our economic development and national security. Acoustic wave is the most widely used and mature underwater information transmission carrier known to mankind. Underwater acoustic (UWA) communication technology is one of the main technical supports to carry out various marine activities, but it is challenged by the complex marine environment, specifically in terms of propagation loss, UWA environmental noise, multipath propagation characteristics, Doppler expansion, spatial and temporal variation effects and other scientific issues, which restricts the improvements of the bit error rate (BER) performance, communication rate, communication distance, robustness and other indicators. The current level of development of UWA communication technology is difficult to fully meet the needs of practical applications.Channel estimation is an effective technical means to solve the problems of multipath effect and temporal- spatial variation characteristics. Recent breakthroughs in adaptive methods and machine learning in various fields have brought new opportunities for the further development of UWA channel estimation technology, but also raised new technical problems, such as the use of channel structure characteristics, sample scarcity training, label missing training, domain mismatch caused by environmental changes. These problems make the effectiveness and applicability of the new method seriously restricted, and it is difficult to bring out the proper information sensing ability.Based on the frontier of intelligent ocean and marine information science, this thesis focuses on the scientific problems of UWA communication in complex marine environment according to the development needs of national marine strategy, aims at the key technical problems faced by adaptive and machine learning channel estimation methods, such as analysis of channel cluster sparsity characteristics, limited data, label missing, domain mismatch, etc., and introduces optimization methods, neural network model design and analysis, data augmentation methods, transfer learning and other recent academic results. We have explored the mechanism of adaptive and machine learning based channel estimation methods and finally proposed a series of new methods for channel estimation based on adaptive signal processing and machine learning.
