Project Overview

We currently have an open postdoctoral position. For more information, see here.

The Learn-Net project is a collaboration between Nokia and Inria coordinated by Alberto Conte (Nokia Bell Labs) and Malcolm Egan (Inria). Learn-Net is at the interface between networking and machine learning, aiming to support distributed machine learning (e.g., federated learning) and AI-native networks. The project involves 7 Inria and 2 Nokia teams with expertise in networking, privacy, and machine learning. The project hosts 4 PhD candidates and 2 postdoctoral researchers.

The Learn-Net project is organized in three axes:

Axis 1: Inference Delivery Networks. In this axis, solutions to integrate inference delivery throughout the infrastructure continuum (access, edge, regional data center, cloud) are explored.

Axis 2: Heterogeneous Learning. In this axis, deep learning techniques are tailored to heterogeneous architectures, heterogeneous data, and heterogeneous hidden models.

Axis 3: Dataflow Optimization. In this axis, new joint communication and learning strategies are investigated to satisfy constraints on privacy, energy, bandwidth, latency, and reliability.
