报告人主讲内容与简介：
Dr. Xiaolan Liu, Assistant professor, Loughborough University
Topic: Distributed learning techniques in wireless communications
Abstract: Distributed learning techniques can efficiently support machine learning model training by exploiting the distributed computational resources. In this talk, distributed learning in wireless networks will be discussed, with focus on the most recent distributed learning approaches. Considering the diversity of wireless users with different resources, implementing distributed learning techniques in wireless networks is challenging. This talk starts from a comprehensive overview of the state-of-art distributed learning architectures in wireless communications. Then recent work on designing new hybrid distributed learning architectures and user scheduling schemes to address the challenges of diverse users in wireless networks is introduced. Moreover, energy-efficient user scheduling to improve energy and computation efficiency of wireless users will also be discussed.
Short Bio: Dr. Xiaolan Liu is a lecturer (Assistant professor) at the Institute of Digital Technologies at Loughborough University in the London campus.
