Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) implement Machine Learning (ML) algorithms that can address competitive resource allocation problems, together with detection and mitigation of anomalous behavior. In this talk, the speaker will discuss their use in next-generation (NextG) communications within the context of cognitive networks to address i) spectrum sharing, ii) detecting anomalies, and iii) mitigating security attacks. GANs have the following advantages. First, they can learn and synthesize field data, which can be costly, time-consuming, and non-repeatable. Second, they enable pre-training classifiers by using semisupervised data. Third, they facilitate increased resolution. Fourth, they enable recovering corrupted bits in the spectrum. The talk will provide basics of GANs, a comparative discussion on different kinds of GANs, performance measures for GANs in computer vision and image processing as well as wireless applications, a number of datasets for wireless applications, performance measures for general classifiers, a survey of the literature on GANs for i)–iii) above, some simulation results, and future research directions. In the spectrum sharing problem, connections to cognitive wireless networks are established. Simulation results show that a particular GAN implementation is better than a convolutional autoencoder for an outlier detection problem in spectrum sensing. Co-sponsored by: Vishnu S.

Free Registration (with a Zoom account; you can get one for free if you don't already have it. This requirement is to avoid Zoom bombing. Please sign in using the email address tied to your Zoom account — not necessarily the one you used to register for the event.): https://sjsu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_DIDfdbkgRFeEd3JbzURIUQ Synopsis: How are machine learning algorithms able to answer questions from any nook and corner of the World Wide Web? How are trending hashtags from the near infinite microblog posts, unique visitors and other distinct counts in the near infinite website traffic determined? How do blogging websites avoid recommending articles a user has previously read? In general, how can we answer complex queries about enormous data streams without storing them entirely, in real-time? The answer often lies in clever approximation algorithms and data "sketches" that capture essential properties using vastly reduced space. The relentless flow of data in modern systems indeed presents significant challenges. These data streams are often too large to store and too fast to process exhaustively with traditional methods. This talk introduces key sketching and approximation techniques that help generate real-time data insights by processing data streams. --------------------------------------------------------------- By registering for this event, you agree that IEEE and the organizers are not liable to you for any loss, damage, injury, or any incidental, indirect, special, consequential, or economic loss or damage (including loss of opportunity, exemplary or punitive damages).

Recent advancements in machine learning, while powerful, are often burdened by significant computational and memory requirements, limiting their deployment in resource-constrained settings. Hyper dimensional Computing (HDC) emerges as an alternative with its simplicity, lightweight operations, and robustness to errors. By encoding data into high-dimensional vectors and performing efficient algebraic computations, HDC opens a new avenue as an efficient learning paradigm. In this talk, Dr. Fatemeh Asgarinejad will introduce the fundamentals of HDC and briefly discuss existing research that has extensively explored various stages of HDC algorithm. Then, she will present three key domains of her research: First, she will discuss PIONEER, a novel approach that employs learned projection vectors to optimize the encoding process. By leveraging neural networks to learn these vectors, PIONEER enables HDC to achieve high accuracy with significant computational efficiency. Second, she will present HDXpose, an adversarial attack framework that exploits an advantage of HDC: “explainability”. By strategically analyzing and perturbing influential input points, HDXpose effectively unveils vulnerabilities within HDC models, underscoring the need for robust security measures in HDC system design. Lastly, Dr. Asgarinejad will show an application of HDC in developing a cost-effective and noise-resilient pressure mat system for human activity recognition. The HDC-based system surpasses CNNs in accuracy and efficiency. Co-sponsored by: Media Partner: Open Research Institute (ORI) Speaker(s): Fatemeh Asgarinejad Agenda: - Invited talk from Dr. Fatemeh Asgarinejad, an incoming Assistant Professor of Teaching in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of California, Riverside. - Q/A Session Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/496707
