Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML)
2024 IEEE International Network Generations Roadmap

Cost: No Charge for members. Registration is required.

Speaker: Baw Chng

Abstract: This talk will overview and discuss the 2024 edition of the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) chapter of the IEEE International Network Generations Roadmap (INGR). It focuses on the comingling of AI/ML and networking in ways that would make the network itself intelligent. This edition recognizes the 6G/IMT-2030 vision and the many AI/ML innovations introduced circa 2023-2024, and explores new potential capabilities enabled and new questions inspired thereof. Beyond enhancing classical network performance KPIs, this edition contemplates what it means to have intelligence in the network and what else can be done with it.

Key Topics include…read more here https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/438468

IEEE Philadelphia Chapter of CSS/CASS/SMCS 

Date: October 23, 2024
Time: 12:00 PM to 01:00 PM
Location: Virtual

Learning-Based Distributed Control

Distributed control is a classical research topic. While a rich theory is available, some assumptions such as availability of subsystem dynamics and topology and the subsystems following the prescribed controllers exactly have proven difficult to remove. An interesting direction in recent times to get away from these assumptions has been the utilization of learning for control. In this talk, we consider some problems in control design for distributed systems using learning. Our core message is that utilizing control-relevant properties in learning algorithms can not only guarantee concerns such as stability, performance, safety, and robustness that are important in control of physical systems, but also help with issues such as data sparsity and sample complexity that are concerns during the implementation of learning algorithms.
