Am 4. Dezember 2019 wird Prof. Michael Schapira um 15:00 im Rahmen des CS-Colloquiums zu Gast sein und einen Vortrag zum Thema „Learning Network Protocols“ halten. Die Fakultät für Informatik lädt alle Interessierten herzlich dazu ein!
Abstract
The Machine learning (ML) has deeply impacted many subareas of computer science, including computer vision, natural language processing, computational biology, and more. Yet, computer networking has largely withstood the ML tide until recently. Recent advances suggest that this might be changing. We ask whether/when network protocol design, which traditionally relies on the application of algorithmic insights by human experts, can be replaced by a data-driven, ML-guided approach. We will investigate this question in the context of two fundamental networking challenges: routing and congestion control.
