Machine LEarning in Optical NeTwORks

Project description

Designing the next generation of high-capacity optical networks

Six early-stage researchers are to be trained in machine learning (ML) applications in multiband optical communications. This is an interdisciplinary field of high industrial importance. The EU-funded MENTOR project has defined the research and training topics to be studied, and secured partnerships with four large companies. The aim of the project is to design the next generation of high-capacity optical networks, which are a key enabler of the global telecommunication infrastructure. Increasing demand (+ 20 % per year) requires a boost in capacity, and calls for operators to reduce the cost per transmitted bit. The search for a solution is leading researchers in the direction of ML techniques. In fact, ML is the technique of choice to tackle this kind of complex technical problem.
