13 May 2025

Generative AI for local data processing
This talk explored the deployment of Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) in global communication systems, focusing on millimeter wave opportunities, related challenges, and design choices. It also covered optimization approaches like computation offloading and Internet-of-Things scenarios.

20 May 2025

The price of distributed machine learning
This webinar examined the potential risks of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) in wireless communication if not properly controlled, including accidental or intentional harm, such as pilot conta​mination and malicious hijacking.​

10 June 2025

The price of distributed machine learning
This webinar challenged the idea that AI must be massive to be powerful. It introduced the Expressive Neural Network (ENN) that uses the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) for better efficiency and smaller models, reducing both energy consumption and computational costs. It discussed how ENNs can improve edge computing and highlighted the importance of expressiveness over size in the future of neural networks.​

17 June 2025

Generative AI for local data processing
This talk explored solutions to enhance reliability and efficiency in AI-driven telecom networks, addressing the risks of AI black boxes and high resource demands. Key topics included pre-deployment calibration, real-time failure monitoring, semi-supervised learning, and energy-efficient neuromorphic computing. ​

24 June 2025

Generative AI for local data processing
This webinar introduced MX-AI, a modular ecosystem designed to enhance intelligent RAN automation across diverse networks. It offered a cloud-native platform for seamless integration and deployment of various applications and AI agents, adhering to 3GPP and O-RAN standards. Key features included intent-driven RAN automation, a configuration recommendation system, and reusable xApps/rApps and AI agents. ​
