If you have a question about this talk, please contact Alexander R Epstein.

Every time you send a message or watch a video online, your data travels through a vast network of cables spanning cities and continents. Using artificial intelligence and graph theory, we examine the underlying patterns of these networks so we can optimally design, scale and manage them.

In this talk, we’ll explore three questions: How can we map and understand the physical shape of the internet? Can we predict where new cable connections between cities should go and how much data they’ll carry? And more importantly, can we teach machines to design entirely new networks in any region or country? We build and integrate domain-specific databases and machine learning models to answer these questions. Our framework transforms network design from a manual art to an automated science.
