讲座1：Underwater Acoustic Communications and Networking for the Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT)
讲座时间：2023年12月20日13：30-15：00
摘要: The Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT), a new class of the Internet of Things (IoT), has emerged in recent years as a network of smart interconnected underwater objects to create a worldwide network that will digitally link the oceans, rivers, and lakes. There have been a number of research and development initiatives tackling technical challenges of the IoUT. These are still in the early stage of investigation. The most challenging remaining tasks include efficient and reliable communication and networking, energy efficiency, and cost reduction. In this talk, we present an overview of IoUT and its applications with the focuses on the offshore oil and gas industry and marine transportation and fishery industry. We review the challenges faced by the marine monitoring and sensing applications, and introduce underwater communications and networking as the key enabling technologies for the IoUT. We present large-scale array network as the technical solutions for such problems by showing how this can be integrated with the passive network sensing and proactive network sensing approaches. We conclude the talk by reviewing the technical challenges of the underwater communications and networking.

讲座2：A Look at Federated Learning from Different Perspectives
讲座时间：2023年12月20日15：30-17：00
摘要: Machine learning is playing an increasingly crucial role in the field of wireless communications due to its high efficiency in dealing with complex computations and models. In this talk, we provide a comprehensive coverage of a distributed learning paradigm based on federated learning, including the general architecture, model training algorithm, and analytical framework that quantifies the convergence rate. Specifically, we investigate federated learning from different perspectives, namely, wireless federated learning, over-the-air federated learning, data heterogeneity, and learning efficiency. Furthermore, we share some of our recent works in this area to provide different innovative ways of looking at this federated learning and tackling the inherent challenges of this technology.
