Abstract: The tutorial will be covered in two parts and introduce attendees to the applications and solutions of Artificial Intelligence/Machine and Deep Learning for the next generation communication systems. In the first part, we will begin with a brief introduction and history of artificial intelligence, machine learning and the emergence of deep learning. There would be a brief recap of various new algorithms with use cases. We will discuss autoencoders, convolutional neural networks, and recurrent neural networks, reinforcement learning, federated learning and others. In the second part, we will briefly look at the recent research results and applicability of machine and deep learning for beyond 5G communication networks for inclusivity for urban and rural areas.
