There are three waves of Artificial Intelligence. The first Wave of AI is Crafted Knowledge, which includes rule-based AI systems. The second wave of AI is Statistical Learning, which includes machine becoming intelligent by using statistical methods. The third wave of AI is contextual adaptation. In the third wave, instead of learning from data, intelligent machines will understand and perceive the world on its own, and learn by understanding the world and reason with it. Neurosymbolic AI, which combines neural networks with symbolic representations, has emerged as a promising solution of the third wave of AI. In this talk, I will share my journey from internet of things to incremental learning and transfer learning to neurosymbolic AI; then I will present my perspective on the emerging area with focus on neurosymbolic transfer learning, neurosymbolic reinforcement learning, and neurosymbolic AI verification and validation (testing and evaluation).

This talk will highlight probabilistic computers as an emerging paradigm for domain-specific computation. Firmly connected to the widely used Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms widely used in physics, statistics, and ML, the talk will show how networks of probabilistic bits, or p-bits, in hardware can deliver improvements in time and energy to solutions for ML, optimization, and quantum simulation. Probabilistic computers leverage a physics-inspired architecture with sparse connectivity and asynchronous updates, enabling massive parallelism. Digital implementations in single FPGAs show competitive performance against optimized GPUs/TPUs. Recent efforts with a distributed system of multiple FPGAs creates the “illusion” of a single, more powerful system, achieving near-linear speedup with minimal communication overhead. Beyond digital CMOS, magnetic nanodevices offer intrinsic randomness, replacing thousands of transistors per p-bit and reducing energy per operation. Our ongoing efforts aim to integrate these devices into energy-efficient CMOS+X systems. Comparisons with quantum computers, GPUs/TPUs, and coupled oscillators will illustrate how probabilistic computers combined with tailored algorithms could achieve GPU-like impact and enable new applications.

High power antennas are specially designed to direct source power for long range effects in fields such as communication, radar, space, and defense. For defense, specifically high power microwave (HPM) systems, power levels of 100s of MWs to GWs are expected. As power level increases, breakdown in the transmit antenna becomes a leading challenge. The combination of high power and short pulses create fields that often meet or surpass the air breakdown threshold. Minimizing a systems Size, Weight, and Power consumption (SWaP-c) to maximize mobility while maintaining high gain creates a challenging problem space. Recent work in antennas show promise in addressing the common challenges faced by the directed energy (DE) community, shifting the future of HPM antennas.

This talk will overview and discuss the 2024 edition of the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) chapter of the IEEE International Network Generations Roadmap (INGR). It focuses on the comingling of AI/ML and networking in ways that would make the network itself intelligent. This edition recognizes the 6G/IMT-2030 vision and the many AI/ML innovations introduced circa 2023-2024, and explores new potential capabilities enabled and new questions inspired thereof. Beyond enhancing classical network performance KPIs, this edition contemplates what it means to have intelligence in the network and what else can be done with it. Key Topics: · AI/ML-Defined Radio, a radio architecture specifically designed to support AI/ML-based optimization and decision-making in communication functions; · Integrated Sensing, using the wireless communications network to sense the environment; · Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS), optimizing the configuration of reflective surfaces to reshape radio signal propagations; · Generative-AI (GenAI) for Prediction-Based Networking, using AI/ML to predict and generate content in the network rather than merely replicating data from hop to top, also using GenAI as an alternative to traditional congestion control; · updates on systems analytics, dynamic digital twins, and the Dynamic Data Driven Application Systems (DDDAS) paradigm; · Next-generation AI for next-generation wireless networks, expansive vision that seeks to incorporate such concepts as artificial general intelligence (AGI), the telecom brain, reasoning that recognizes causality, distributed collective intelligence, semantic communication, distributed universal foundation models, etc. into wireless networks.

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.

Thin film Barium Strontium Titanate (BaxSr1-xTiO3-henceforth BST) variable capacitor (varactor) tuning elements are key components for reconfigurable microwave circuits. This talk will introduce the thin film varactors and their demonstrated applications. The size, weight, and power (SWaP) savings using the chip scale tunable RF front end components is a game-changer for defense applications and key for the 5G/6G cellular communications.
