Learning and Intelligence over Weak Communication Links
Learning and Intelligence over Weak Communication Links
Special Presentation by Prof. Petar Popovski (Aalborg University, Denmark) Hosted by the Future Networks Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (AIML) Working Group Date/Time: Thursday, April 18th, 2024 @ 12:00 UTC Topic: Learning and Intelligence over Weak Communication Links Abstract: Besides the fascinating questions on how to train increasingly capable Machine Learning (ML) models and explain their behavior, there is a suite of highly relevant challenges that emerge when ML models become elements of distributed connected systems and networks. A popular instance of this set of problems is federated learning. The first part of the talk will present a federated learning setup over LEO satellite constellation. It will be seen that the predictability of satellite movement can be used to speed up the training process. The second part will deal with a model for supervised learning in which Alice has access to abundant data features but does not have the labels, while Bob is able to provide a correct label for any data point. Alice is connected to Bob through a low-rate communication link and the talk will present strategies that combine active learning and data compression that enable Alice to get the labels. Finally, the third part of the talk discusses generative network layer of communication protocols. This is implemented in an intermediate network node that contains a Generative AI module. When the link to the source is weak, instead of waiting for packets to be routed, the node can generate the packets that need to be sent to the destination. Generative network layer is an early step towards the potential changes in communication protocols based on increasingly capable AI.

Madhu Chinnambeti Presents: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
Madhu Chinnambeti Presents: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
[] Large Language Models (LLMs) are being used widely in current Generative AI systems. Unfortunately, LLMs demonstrate significant capabilities but face challenges such as hallucination, outdated knowledge, and non-transparent, untraceable reasoning processes. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a promising solution by incorporating knowledge from external databases. This enhances the accuracy and credibility of the models, particularly for knowledge-intensive tasks, and allows for continuous knowledge updates and integration of domain-specific information. RAG synergistically merges LLMs' intrinsic knowledge with the vast, dynamic repositories of external databases. This talk gives an overview of the structure of RAG systems and includes a demo of their capabilities. Madhu Chinnambeti is an SVP and Senior Data Scientist at SupportVectors. In his current role, Madhu advises the companies, aspiring engineers, and entrepreneurs on ML, AI, and Gen AI technology stack. Madhu has over 28 years of experience in Computer Science and Engineering and he is currently working on his PhD dissertation in the area of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and deep learning at Boise State University. Madhu is currently working on research and publications that advance GNNs under Cybersecurity and fraud detection. His passion also includes tech education in the evolving fields like Generative AI. Madhu is a volunteer advisory board member of Disability:In New Jersey affiliate to help individuals with disabilities to get jobs.

IEEE NY JOINT MTT AP PHO & NANO CHAPTER – SEMINAR: Photonic Time Crystals and Parametric Amplification: similarity and distinction
IEEE NY JOINT MTT AP PHO & NANO CHAPTER – SEMINAR: Photonic Time Crystals and Parametric Amplification: similarity and distinction
Photonic Time Crystals and Parametric Amplification: similarity and distinction I investigate Photonic Time crystals (PTCs) and compare it with the second and third order parametric processes. The main difference is found in boundary conditions – otherwise the processes are quite similar. The PTC is in its heart a parametric process in which modulation of permittivity using second or third order optical nonlinearity causes simultaneous generation of signal and idler photons with energy conservation maintained. The main difference between PTC and conventional parametric processes – OPA, PC, FWM is in the boundary conditions. In conventional parametric processes signal and idler frequencies remain unchanged inside and outside modulated region as only wavevectors can change. For PTC the situation at the temporary boundary is the opposite and while wavevector is maintained before, during, and after time modulation interval, the frequency changes and the conjugated (or time reversed) wave outside the modulation interval have the same frequency as the incident signal. While dispersion curves for OPA and PTC are identical, in PTC one can couple the signal into the bandgap and achieve exponential amplification. That being said, the overall amplification is similar for OPA and PTC – slowly decaying as signal frequency is detuned from the central frequency. For moderate values of modulation, the OPA actually holds advantage over PTC due to the presence of feedback in space that is obviously impossible in time. It is only when modulation becomes very strong that one can potentially observe the salient feature of PTC – strong amplification within bandgap and almost no amplification outside of it. In terms of amplification bandwidth, the PTC in which signal and idler are counterpropagating will never match the performance of existing conventional OPAs with copropagating waves in which the parametric gain bandwidth can exceed an octave when dispersion engineering is employed. Counterpropagating scheme does allow wider angular range which may become relevant when amplifying spontaneous emission. In order to observe most of the features of PTC it is not really necessary to operate with ultrafast nonlinearity. Using a relatively slow but strong nonlinearity with response time on the scale of propagation time, i.e. anywhere from a few hundreds of femtoseconds to a few picoseconds (which can be obtained in TCO, a low temperature growth semiconductor, or intersubband transition in a quantum well) will provide one with a simple way to get all the input-output characteristics of PTC without actually having a bandgap in k-space. Co-sponsored by: Advanced Science Research Center - the Graduate Center - City University of New York Speaker(s): Jacob B. Khurgin Agenda: The second part of the seminar: Why do the refractive indexes of different materials differ so little and are also so difficult to change? Abstract: For too long the functionality of optical devices and systems has been severely restricted by the very limited range of refractive indices at the disposal of designers. These limitations become especially constricting in the currently most active areas of optics – integrated photonics, photonic crystals, metamaterials and metasurfaces. A simple increase of the value of refractive index by 50% can result in disproportionally large improvement in performance (i.e. smaller size, less cross-talk, higher resolution, and so on, depending on application) With that in mind, I explore what are the fundamental limits that limit the scope of refractive indices as a function of wavelength, explain why higher index materials have not yet materialized and point out a few tentative directions for the search of these elusive materials, be they natural or artificial. In the second part of the talk, I investigate a closely related issue: changing refractive index to achieve effective modulation. There exist many methods of index modulation, starting with Pockels and Kerr electro-optic effects, acousto-optic and opto-mechanical effect, optical nonlinearities, thermal, carrier injection/depletion, etc. In my talk I will try to provide a comprehensive analysis that will show that independent of the modulation technique, one must supply and maintain (but not necessarily dissipate) anywhere between few times 103 and 105 J/cm3 of energy in order to achieve relative index change on the order of 50-100% (with energy requirements increasing in sync with the increase of operating frequency). The general conclusion is that unless radically new material systems are developed, the improvement of the performance of existing modulation techniques will have evolutionary rather than revolutionary character with no order of magnitude improvement in sight. I will try to argue for using collective effects and fast phase transitions to achieve future breakthroughs.
