Algorithms and AI: Teaching 'Smart' Radios How to Learn

Graduate student Hamed Asadi presenting his research at a conference

PhD candidate Hamed Asadi thinks machines can learn a lot from humans.

The ECE graduate research assistant's work in cognitive radio engines, or CEs, often draws parallels between an infant's growth into adulthood and an engine’s artificial intelligence: going so far as to label the four progressive learning stages of a CE "infant, childhood, teenager and adult."

His research could make always-available wireless connections a reality using a new combination of artificial intelligence and algorithms.
