Tsinghua Alumni Association in Greater Washington DC, Monte Jade Science and Technology Association of Greater Washington, and Chinese American Data Science and Engineering Association (CADSEA) invite you to delve into the crossroads between artificial intelligent (AI) and next-generation (NextG) cellular networks.
Speaker:
Dr. Lingjia Liu
Professor & Bradley Senior Faculty Fellow, Virginia Tech
Director, Wireless@Virginia Tech
The integration of machine learning (ML) into next-generation (NextG) cellular networks is a groundbreaking shift in wireless communication. While ML has transformed fields like image and natural language processing, its potential in NextG networks hinges on achieving real-time learning at the speed of wireless.
In this talk, Dr. Liu will explore innovations in online real-time machine learning, focusing on MIMO receive processing using recurrent neural networks (RNNs). He will present an unconventional approach where RNN weights are “randomly generated” and left untrained to address limitations in over-the-air (OTA) training signals. By incorporating domain knowledge, these weights can be “configured” to enhance system performance. The method’s efficacy will be demonstrated through 3GPP evaluation methodologies and a software-defined radio (SDR) prototype.
This session offers a unique opportunity to delve into cutting-edge advancements in ML for wireless communications, emphasizing their practical applications in NextG technologies.
