Summary
Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are being praised as a new innovation direction to transform future optical communication systems. Signal processing paradigms based on ML (reinforcement learning, artificial neural networks,…) are being considered to solve critical problems that cannot be easily tackled using conventional approaches. Recent applications include nonlinear transmission systems to mitigate non-linear phase noise, network planning and performance prediction, cross-layer network optimizations for software-defined networks, and autonomous and reliable self-healing networks. In this topic, our goal is to comprehend the true potential of ML in optical fiber communication systems by studying and focusing on problems in otical transmission and networking where ML can be useful.
Keywords
