Improving Network Digital Twins through Data-centric AI | AI/ML IN 5G CHALLENGE
0In recent years, the networking community has produced robust Graph Neural Network (GNN) architectures that can accurately mimic complex network environments. Modern GNN-based architectures enable building lightweight and accurate Network Digital Twins that can operate in real time. However, the quality of Machine Learning-based models depends on two main components: the model architecture, and the training dataset. In this context, very little research has been done on the impact of training data on the performance of these network models. \n\nThis talk introduces the Graph Neural Networking challenge 2022, entitled “Improving Network Digital Twins through Data-centric AI”. In this problem statement, participants will be given a state-of-the-art GNN model for network performance evaluation, and an accurate packet-level network simulator to generate training datasets. They will be tasked with producing a training dataset that results in better performance for the target GNN model. \n\nOpening remarks:\nThomas Basikolo, Young Expert - AI/ML, International Telecommunication Union (ITU)\n\nModerator:\nVishnu Ram OV, Independent Research Consultant, International Telecommunication Union (ITU)\n\nSpeaker:\nJosé Suárez-Varela, Researcher, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya\n\n#5GNetworks #MachineLearning5G\n\nJoin the Neural Network! \nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/neural-network/\nThe AI for Good networking community platform powered by AI. \nDesigned to help users build connections with innovators and experts, link innovative ideas with social impact opportunities, and bring the community together to advance the SDGs using AI.\n\n Watch the latest #AIforGood videos!\n\n\nExplore more #AIforGood content:\n AI for Good Top Hits\n • Top Hits \n\n AI for Good Webinars\n • AI for Good Webinars \n\n AI for Good Keynotes\n • AI for Good Keynotes \n\n Stay updated and join our weekly AI for Good newsletter:\nhttp://eepurl.com/gI2kJ5\n\n Discover what's next on our programme!\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/programme/\n\nCheck out the latest AI for Good news:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/newsroom/\n\nExplore the AI for Good blog:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/ai-for-good-blog/\n\n Connect on our social media:\nWebsite: https://aiforgood.itu.int/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/ITU_AIForGood\nLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/26511907 \nLinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8567748 \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aiforgood \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AIforGood\n\nWhat is AI for Good?\nThe AI for Good series is the leading action-oriented, global & inclusive United Nations platform on AI.
