Semantic communication

Machine Learning at the wireless edge

TALK

This talk first provided a brief introduction of VisionX sitting at the intersection of learning, reasoning and communication in terms of key enablers and mathematical tools, while contrasting it with current efforts in this exciting research area. Subsequently, recent results in semantics-native communication and learning emergent communication protocols in various use cases were presented. This talk highlighted the importance of transmitting semantic information as opposed to raw data that is either redundant, stale or useless to a receiver to carry out a task.

WISDOM CORNER: LIVE LIFE LESSONS

Participants had the chance to hear from Prof. Bennis about his impactful life lessons over the years as well as his advice to young researchers in the field of information and communication technologies.
