Predictive communications for UAV networks: the intersection of machine learning and wireless communications
|
|
Abstract |
Unmanned Arial Vehicle (UAV) networking is an emerging technology that has already enabled a wide range of civilian and military applications including transportation, navigation and traffic control, border patrolling and surveillance, fire control, precision agriculture, with many more yet to come. It is expected that the commercial UAV market value hits a record of $2 billion by 2022.The future trend of UAV technology is known to be utilizing swarms of small-scale cooperative UAVs to accomplish complicated tasks, simply because a single UAV with a relatively short communication range and limited sensing, computation and operation equipment is not capable of completing intricate tasks in a limited time. Developing UAV swarms requires a distributed version of control and communication algorithms that accommodate extremely dynamic topologies. This talk explores recent developments in communication protocols designed for UAV networks. This includes two parts. In the first part, we review mobility models used for UAVs in order to predict network topology changes by processing motion trajectories. We will cover model-based methods as well as data driven fuzzy methods. In the second part, we review the impact of mobility and topology change on different key communication performance metrics such as data throughput, delay, and connectivity. In particular, we will review reactive, proactive and predictive routing algorithms in terms of flexibility, performance and optimality. The focus will be on the new generation of predictive protocols designed based on incorporating predicted network topologies into communication protocols. |

Bridging image, language and knowledge: explorations into vision and language interactive tasks |
|
Abstract |
Language is one of the most important means that human use to communicate and encode knowledge. In artificial intelligence, natural language processing also plays a fundamental role. As a key measure of AI, Turing test is too based on question answering. Recently, vision and language interactive problems has given rise to increasing attentions in the CV and NLP communities, key tasks including image captioning, visual question answering and visual dialog. In this report, I will introduce my work on these problems, in particular the efforts that try to incorporate symbolic semantic information into vision and language interactive tasks. |

Data Dependent Similarities: Why they are better than Euclidean distance |
|
Abstract |
Distance measures are used in many aspects of machine learning tasks, including classification, clustering, anomaly detection and information retrieval.
Euclidean distance and Gaussian kernel are typical data independent metrics traditionally used in machine learning algorithms because they allow for interpretation as a geometric model and mathematical analysis.
This talk presents recent works on data dependent similarities and Isolation Kernel, and the conditions under which they are better than data independent Euclidean distance and Gaussian kernel in classification and clustering tasks.This includes a recent work published in KDD2018:http://www.k

Nano-Architectures: Challenges and Research Opportunities
|
|
Abstract |
The lecture presents newresearch directions of our team in the realm of Brain-Inspired NanoArchitecture for integrated circuits in order to achieve low power consumptionand high reliability computing for the devices of the future. Our approach is dealing with the gated ionchannels which can be considered the nano-switches of the brain. This willallow us to analyze the statistical behavior of arrays of such brain-inspireddevices. Moore and Shannonintroduced a particular class of two-terminal networks, known as hammocknetworks. These kinds of networks are potentially important to applications innanoelectronics as well as in biology. Taking inspiration from axoncommunication, which relies on ion channels distributed on cylindricalstructures, we introduce a generalization of the classical hammock networks. We focus on evaluating reliability in the case of twoterminal networks. |
