ML4COM Keynote 1: The Equivalence of Optimal Resource Allocation in Wireless Communications and Unsupervised Learning by Prof. Ribeiro (9:00-09:50, ROOM 3D) 
 

Abstract: Optimal resource allocation problems in wireless communications systems are mathematically equivalent to unsupervised learning problems. Both can be formulated as functional optimization problems. Their only difference is that unsupervised learning problems optimize for a single cost whereas wireless communications systems typically try to balance several quality of service constraints. This motivates the adaptation of learning methods to work in the dual domain. We will discuss the design of algorithms for learning in the dual domain as well as their fundamental properties. We will discuss the advantages of neural network formulations and discuss the adaptation of convolutional processing to networked settings.

ML4COM Keynote 2: Realizing an Intelligent Edge: Communication Meets Learning by Prof. Huang (14:00-14:50, ROOM 3D)

Abstract: The popularity of mobile devices and densification of wireless networks result in the availability of enormous data and computational resources distributed at the network edge. To leverage the data and resources, a new machine-learning paradigm, called edge learning, has emerged where learning algorithms are deployed at the edge for providing fast and intelligent services to mobile users. While computing speeds are advancing rapidly, the communication latency is becoming the bottleneck of fast edge learning. Attempts to overcome the bottleneck have led to the emergence of a new paradigm in wireless communication, “communication efficient edge learning”, which departs from the classic principle of “rate-maximization” and focuses on “fast intelligence acquisition”. In this talk, I will overview new design challenges in the area and highlight some recent advancements in different directions including resource allocation, gradient quantization, feature transmission, wireless data labelling, active data acquisition, and over-the-air computation.
