DESCRIPTION:EXPLAINABLE AND ROBUST AI FOR 6G\n\nDr. SINEM COLERI\n\nWhen: N

 ssword: 018477\n\nUnlike previous generations of wireless networks\, which
  were primarily designed to meet the requirements of human communications\
 , 5G networks enable extensive data collection from machines. As we transi
 tion to 6G\, the emphasis moves beyond connectivity toward leveraging this
  machine-generated data for a new spectrum of control applications\, such 
 as UAV swarms\, collaborative robots\, and cooperative autonomous vehicles
 . Designing communication systems for these advanced control applications 
 introduces a distinct set of challenges. These include meeting stringent r
 equirements for delay and reliability\, addressing the semantics of contro
 l systems\, and ensuring robust resource management. In the first part of 
 this talk\, we explore ultra-reliable channel modeling and communication t
 echniques based on the integration of extreme value theory with generative
  artificial intelligence (AI). These methods offer improved accuracy in pr
 edicting rare but critical events while providing adaptivity to dynamic sc
 enarios. In the second part of the talk\, we explore the benefits of emplo
 ying optimization theory based\, explainable\, and robust AI in radio reso
 urce management for the joint design of control and communication systems.
  These approaches offer a systematic methodology to enhance robustness and
  interpret decisions made by black-box AI models.\n\nBIOGRAPHY\n\nDr. Sine
