Toward Trustworthy AI/ML in 6G Networks through Explainable Reasoning

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/443359

Special Presentation by Dr. Farhad Rezazadeh (CTTC, Spain) Hosted by the Future Networks Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (AIML) Working Group Date/Time: Thursday, November 21st, 2024 @ 12:00 UTC Topic: Toward Trustworthy AI/ML in 6G Networks through Explainable Reasoning Abstract: This talk emphasizes the importance of trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI) in 6G networks in response to growing global attention on AI governance. Notable initiatives such as the White House's Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of AI, DARPA's Assured Neuro-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning and eXplainable AI (XAI) programs, and the European Union's AI Act, highlight the increasing regulatory focus on AI transparency and responsibility. As 6G networks transition from AI-native to automation-native, the need for explainability and trustworthiness becomes critical, especially in mission-critical and high-stakes applications. Traditional post-hoc explainability methods, which aim to explain AI decisions after they are made, are no longer adequate in complex network environments. Instead, in-hoc explainability or explanation-guided techniques – where explanations guide the learning process itself – is emerging as a crucial approach for establishing trust in AI systems from the ground up. Indeed, integrating explanatory mechanisms directly within AI learning models enables transparent decisions and enhances learning. Furthermore, incorporating neuro-symbolic approaches, which combine neural networks with symbolic reasoning, provides a robust framework to tackle the increasing complexity of 6G networks. By integrating these approaches, AI systems can make more explainable, contextually guided decisions, boosting trust and performance while mitigating risks associated with black-box AI models. Speaker: Farhad Rezazadeh received his Ph.D. degree (Excellent Cum Laude) in Signal Theory and Communications from the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), Barcelona, Spain. He is currently a researcher (Sr. Applied AI Engineer) at the Telecommunications Technological Center of Catalonia (CTTC), Barcelona, Spain. He participated in 8 European and National 5G/B5G/6G R&D projects with leading and technical tasks in the areas of Applied AI. His AI innovation in B5G/6G resource allocation was recognized as a great EU-funded Innovation by the European Commission's Innovation Radar. He was awarded the first patent connected to the H2020 5G-SOLUTIONS project. He was a secondee at NEC Lab Europe and had scientific missions at TUM, Germany, TUHH, Germany, and UdG, Spain. He is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Ph.D. grantee, winning five different IEEE/IEEE ComSoc grants, two European Cooperation in Science and Technology grants, and a Catalan Government Ph.D. Grant.

A novel Grid Forming Controls (GFM) model in PSS/E for 100% renewable power grid

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/434368

A technical presentation on the topic 'A novel Grid Forming Controls (GFM) model in PSS/E for 100% renewable grids'. Increased proliferation of Inverter Based Resources (IBRs) and retirement of conventional power generation has resulted in depleted short circuit levels and has raised stability concerns in operating electric grids. Majority of the IBRs today are Grid Following (GFL) meaning they require a voltage and frequency reference for their Phase Locked Loop and 'follow' and latch onto, in order to inject current to the grid. As short circuit levels drop, GFLs suffer from instability raising concerns. Grid-forming inverters (GFMs) are a promising solution in this regard as they behave as voltage sources behind an internal impedance, providing both voltage and frequency regulation. This talk will focus on a novel positive sequence model developed in PSS/E that has several levels of control that works in both grid connected and islanded mode of operation. Alongside an outer layer that generates Voltage and Frequency reference, a V-Q, P-F droop based current controller is utilized eventually form a voltage source interface. Simulation results will be shown that demonstrate stability in 100% renewable grids. During this presentation Tamojit present his work on GFM. We invite all those interested in clean energy and the future of our renewable grid to join us for this insightful session. Agenda: Starts at 7.00PM Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/434368

Sustainable Website Design: Construction and Presentation Methods to Address Climate Change

Room: 105, Bldg: Computer Science Building, 35 Olden St, Princeton, New Jersey, United States, 08544, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/437519 Olden Street, Princeton, New Jersey, United States

With climate change already here and its effects all around us, it’s urgent to continue efforts across all industries to reduce CO2 emissions. But what about the information technology sector? The World-Wide Web we depend on enriches our lives in many areas: education, commerce, government, news, communication, and more. However, the infrastructure that enables it uses a lot of electricity — not all of which is generated from renewable resources (hence its CO2 generation.) Combining the fields of computers and the environment, a relatively new Website construction method called “Sustainable Web Design” is gaining awareness. This software-based approach reduces non-renewable energy to lower CO2 emissions so the people of today and tomorrow can benefit from everything that the Web offers. How a Website is constructed and presents its information has real-world effects! A Website can be built to serve smaller files, use less resources, and require less processing power — all of these help reduce non-renewable energy use and associated CO2 emissions. Sustainable Web Design also has side-benefits: a faster Website, better mobile device battery life, higher-placed mobile Google search results, and better accessibility. This presentation will introduce how to determine a Website’s sustainability, identify elements which can slow down a Web page, describe basic sustainable Web design strategies and techniques, offer easy to take actions and examples, present the perspective and advice of a Website Designer/Webmaster who remade his organization’s Website to be sustainable, and list additional resources to follow the latest developments.

IEEE NY JOINT MTT AP PHO & NANO CHAPTER – SEMINAR: Nonlinear Photonics in the Mid-Infrared and Terahertz

Room: Auditorium, Bldg: Advanced Science Research Center CUNY, 85 St. Nicholas Terrace, New York, New York, United States, NY 10031, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/447317

Abstract – Optical sensing at long wavelengths presents significant opportunities and significant challenges. The longwave infrared and terahertz ranges are renowned for their potential to sense molecules in a variety of contexts, such as high-speed chemical imaging, disease detection, and environmental monitoring; however, their promise has yet to be fulfilled due to a lack of compact broadband sources and low-loss integrated photonics platforms. The most important sensing challenges require extremely wideband sources to achieve specificity and selectivity, but to date, there are no technologies that are compact, bright, and broadband. I will discuss some of the work of my group that seeks to address this challenge. First, I will discuss our development of quantum cascade laser-based frequency combs, light sources that fill the gap between broadband incoherent sources and lasers. I will also discuss how our experimental investigations of these combs led to my discovery of a new fundamental comb state that manifests in almost any laser at any wavelength, acting as the phase equivalent of passive modelocking , . Next, I will discuss our recent development of ultra-low-loss platforms for long wavelengths based on hybrid photonic integration, which allowed us to create optical resonators in the longwave infrared with quality factors 100 times better than the state-of-the-art , . This approach is fully wavelength-scalable and allows for the first efficient nonlinear optics at long wavelengths, serving as a foundational element for future applications in quantum sensing. Finally, I will discuss our development of ptychoscopy, a new sensing modality that allows for ultra-precise measurements of optical spectra. This measurement enables the measurement of remote signals with quantum-limited frequency resolution over the entire bandwidth of a comb, for the first time allowing incoherent spectra to be characterized with the precision techniques of combs .

IEEE DEI Schenectady Chapter, Machine-Learning Applications to Estimating Generator Useful Life

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/437141

Hydro-Québec is working on the development of a prognostic approach for hydrogenerators based on the combination of a physics-based model, which integrates all failure mechanisms in a graphical form, and data-based models adapted to the types of diagnostic tools. The failure mechanism graph, which has been defined by a group of experts, consists of several cause-and-effect chains formed by the grouping of sequential physical degradation states that ultimately lead to a failure state. Knowing the transition function between each pair of physical degradation states, it becomes possible to estimate the time required to reach the failure state for a given failure mechanism. The first essential step of this approach is to automatically identify the active failure mechanisms based on the analysis of observable symptoms extracted from diagnostic tools. For the stator winding of hydrogenerators, over 100 failure mechanisms have been consigned, most of which involve the presence of partial discharge (PD) activity. Analysis of each individual PD source is therefore essential to understanding the behavior and evolution of these failure mechanisms. This presentation will highlight the development carried out to automatically identify the active failure mechanisms for the stator winding, the diagnostic tools as well as the in-house integrated diagnostic application called DIAAA, and the methodology developed to recognize each active PD source using PDA and PRPD results.
