Marcel Worring (University of Amsterdam). Deep Learning for Multimedia

With the advent of deep learning many applications of machine learning have surfaced ranging from medical diagnostics, autonomous driving, and product recommendation to social media analytics. For image analysis a lot of research has focused on classification of data using convolutional neural nets which are reaching very high performance. Recently graph based convolutional nets have started to gain momentum which focus on relations between different elements. We are extending these techniques to multimedia collections. In this presentation we show our work in this area where we first focus on techniques which are based on relations between items and from there we move on to techniques based on hypergraphs which can model relations and groups of items at the same time. Results of these techniques are shown on webforum data containing images, text, and metadata.

Petar Popovski (Aalborg University), How Reliability, Latency, Massiveness, and Blockchain are Transforming IoT Communication

The future wireless landscape, often associated with 5G, envisions three types of connectivity: enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC), and massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC). The latter two are seen as two generic types that support Internet of Things (IoT) communication, putting forward new types of requirements and research challenges, such as: protocols that operate with short packets, access for massive number of devices, techniques to achieve and assess extremely high reliability, etc. This set of challenges is further enriched by the advent of blockchain systems and smart contracts that allow autonomous interaction among IoT devices. The consensus protocols that set the basis for blockchain systems are critically reliant on communication, but they change the traffic pattern that has been envisioned for pre-blockchain IoT communication systems. This talk will give a perspective on the communication engineering challenges related to the emerging IoT communication systems, outline methods and architectures to solve them and provide communication-theoretic insights in some of the fundamental tradeoffs.
