In this paper, we propose to use the discretized version of the so-called Enhanced Gaussian Noise (EGN) model to estimate the non-linearity effects of fiber on the performance of optical coherent and uncompensated transmission (CUT)…
The enhanced Gaussian noise (EGN) model is widely used for estimating the nonlinear interference (NLI) power accumulated in coherent fiber-optic transmission systems. Given a fixed fiber link, under the assumption that transmitted symbols…
This work explores the search for heterogeneous approximate multiplier configurations for neural networks that produce high accuracy and low energy consumption. We discuss the validity of additive Gaussian noise added to accurate neural…
An ML model based on precomputed per-channel SCI is proposed. Due to its superior accuracy over closed-form GN, an average SNR gain of 1.1 dB in an end-to-end link optimization and a 40% reduction in required lightpaths to meet traffic…
Flexible-grid Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) have been widely deployed in recent years to support the growing demand for bandwidth-intensive applications. To address this cost-efficiently, optimized utilization of EONs is required.…

Resource allocation with quality of service constraints is one of the most challenging problems in elastic optical networks which is normally formulated as an MINLP optimization program. In this paper, we focus on novel properties of…
We propose the generalized Newton's method (GeN) -- a Hessian-informed approach that applies to any optimizer such as SGD and Adam, and covers the Newton-Raphson method as a sub-case. Our method automatically and dynamically selects the…
In the post-Dennard era, optimizing embedded systems requires navigating complex trade-offs between energy efficiency and latency. Traditional heuristic tuning is often inefficient in such high-dimensional, non-smooth landscapes. In this…
Heterogeneous computing systems provide high performance and energy efficiency. However, to optimally utilize such systems, solutions that distribute the work across host CPUs and accelerating devices are needed. In this paper, we present a…
Speech enhancement is widely used as a front-end to improve the speech quality in many audio systems, while it is hard to extract the target speech in multi-talker conditions without prior information on the speaker identity. It was shown…
We present Exact Gauss-Newton (EGN), a stochastic second-order optimization algorithm that combines the generalized Gauss-Newton (GN) Hessian approximation with low-rank linear algebra to compute the descent direction. Leveraging the…
The harmonic structure of speech is resistant to noise, but the harmonics may still be partially masked by noise. Therefore, we previously proposed a harmonic gated compensation network (HGCN) to predict the full harmonic locations based on…
The rapidly growing traffic demands in fiber-optical networks require flexibility and accuracy in configuring lightpaths, for which fast and accurate quality of transmission (QoT) estimation is of pivotal importance. This paper introduces a…
Neural network pruning is a practical way for reducing the size of trained models and the number of floating-point operations. One way of pruning is to use the relative Hessian trace to calculate sensitivity of each channel, as compared to…
Approximate computing offers promising energy efficiency benefits for error-tolerant applications, but discovering optimal approximations requires extensive design space exploration (DSE). Predicting the accuracy of circuits composed of…
