Join us for the sixth session of the exciting webinar series on "New Frontiers in Signal Processing in 6G Wireless Networks", a collaboration between IEEE Signal Processing, IEEE Communications Society chapters in Ottawa, and IEEE ComSoC Young Professionals. Register now and stay tuned for updates on upcoming speakers and topics! Speaker(s): Prof. Georges Kaddoum Agenda: The integration of machine learning (ML) across different layers of modern wireless communication networks has significantly enhanced efficiency, adaptability, and automation. However, thisadvancement has also introduced new security vulnerabilities. Adversarial attacks, in particular, exploit weaknesses in ML models to misclassify signals, degrade network performance, and disrupt critical operations. This talk examines the growing threat of adversarial attacks that target ML-based signal processing, resource allocation, and security protocols in wireless networks. It discusses the main challenges in protecting ML-driven systems, reviews recent progress in defense techniques such as Bayesian learning, robust training, and adaptive protection methods, and outlines open research directions for developing more resilient and trustworthy intelligent communication frameworks. The presentation provides an overview of the adversarial landscape, effective defense strategies, and future research opportunities at the intersection of machine learning and wireless network security.

Technical seminar by Professor Antonio Liscidini from University of Toronto with the following abstract: In this talk, we’ll delve into some fundamental aspects of signal processing to understand how they will shape the future of IC mixed-signal design. In the first part of the lecture, we’ll compare power efficiency and technology evolution, discussing the dualism of analog/digital and voltage/time in terms of signal processing and dynamic range achievable. In the second part of the presentation, we’ll explore two examples of how analog mixed-signal can achieve the flexibility of digital signal processing while maintaining higher speed and power efficiency. We’ll present a novel topology of a MAC analog accelerator for digital computation in AI and a quantized analog TX for 5G wireless communication that exploits a power-scalable band-pass RF DAC. These solutions outperform the state of the art and suggest new directions for future development in mixed-signal computation and software-defined analog front-ends.
