What Connects Us All? From Fibres to Graphs to Neurons

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 backbone networks so we can optimally design, scale and manage them.

In this talk, we’ll explore three questions:

Can we map the physical shape of the internet? 
Can we forecast how these networks will expand?
Can we teach machines to design networks and build the internet of the future?

We answer these three questions through the lens of graph analysis, link prediction and graph generation. Our framework transforms network design from a manual process to an intelligent and automated science.

This talk is part of the Accelerate Lunchtime Seminar Series series.
