Distinguished Lecture talk by Prof. Geffrey Ye Li, Fellow, IEEE, Georgia Tech

“Deep Learning based Wireless Resource Allocation”

In this talk, Prof. Li presented their research progress in deep learning based wireless resource allocation. He first presented their research results in using deep learning to solve linear sum assignment problems (LSAP), reduced the complexity of mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP), and introduced graph embedding for wireless link scheduling. He then discussed how to use deep reinforcement learning directly for wireless resource allocation with application in vehicular networks.
