SUMMARY:What Connects Us All? From Fibers to Graphs  to Neurons - Akanksha

DESCRIPTION:Every time you send a message or watch a video online\, your d
 ata travels through a vast network of cables spanning cities and continent
 s. Using artificial intelligence and graph theory\, we examine the underly
 ing patterns of these networks so we can optimally design\, scale and mana
 ge them.\n\nIn this talk\, we'll explore three questions: \nHow can we map
  and understand the physical shape of the internet? Can we predict where n
 ew cable connections between cities should go and how much data they'll ca
 rry? And more importantly\, can we teach machines to design entirely new n
 etworks in any region or country? \nWe build and integrate domain-specific
  databases and machine learning models to answer these questions. Our fram
 ework transforms network design from a manual art to an automated science.
