Neural network-defined physical layer: a new paradigm for software radio in the IoT era
ISTD PhD Oral Defence Seminar by Wang Jiazhao – The increase of the Internet of Things (IoT) has created a complex and heterogeneous wireless ecosystem, demanding IoT gateways that are both flexible and efficient. While Software Defined Radio (SDR) provides the necessary hardware adaptability, its potential is frequently undermined by significant software implementation challenges, including a lack of portability across platforms, prohibitive design complexity for advanced algorithms, and poor computational efficiency. This thesis posits that these persistent bottlenecks can be overcome by a paradigm shift in physical layer (PHY) design: reframing core communication functionalities as learnable, interpretable neural network (NN) models.


Foundations and emerging trends in database systems
ISTD COIL Seminar by DBS Bank – This talk connects foundational knowledge with real-world applications, emphasising the vital role databases play in powering today’s AI-driven technologies.


Where code meets capital: How AI and emerging tech are redefining finance
