Abstract: Responsible AI refers to the development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in an ethical, transparent and fair manner, aligned with societal values. The key pillars of responsible AI include fairness, explainability, transparency, privacy and security. We, at Intelicom Lab, IIITD, address research problems pertaining to many of these pillars. In this talk, we will discuss our recent contributions towards continual federated learning (FL) wherein ML models collaboratively adapt to new tasks without forgetting previous knowledge. In particular, we will discuss our recently proposed convergent continual adaptive optimization framework, wherein continual FL is realised  by adapting the learning rate at each edge user. Subsequently, we will discuss the robust FL methods applied to wireless networks, alongside their convergence analysis, followed by a testbed based demonstration of FL over a network of USRPs.

About the speaker:  Dr. Ranjitha Prasad is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering at the Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi. She obtained her Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Science in 2015. Her experience is in the general areas of signal processing, Bayesian statistics, and more recently, machine learning and deep neural networks. She has been a postdoctoral researcher at Nanyang Technological University and National University of Singapore, Singapore, and a scientist at TCS Innovation Labs, Delhi. She is the recipient of the Best Ph.D. thesis award (The Seshagiri Kaikini Medal) for 2014- 2015 from the Council of Indian Institute of Science, and the recipient of the Best Paper in the Communications Track at NCC 2014, held at IIT Kanpur. Her current research interests are Federated Learning, Explainable and Responsible AI.

 

All are cordially invited to attend the invited talk.
