Special Topics in Information Sciences and Systems: Machine Learning and Wireless Networks

Wireless communications and machine learning are the most transformative technologies of our time. Recent advances in both fields have created challenges and opportunities that are driving the merger of these technologies: 1. machine learning can play a major role in the optimization of wireless networks, as their design and operation involve many problems that are becoming increasingly difficult to solve using traditional model-based techniques: 2. wireless networks can serve as platforms for machine learning and responding to the facts that much useful data is born at the network edge and that many applications are deployed there.
