The new roadmap on optical communications @IOPPublishing is now out!! https://t.co/pi3lfLrGrA

[Petar Popovski @PopovskiPetar]

IEEE JSAC has a Call for Papers on optical communication and networking and we have asked the team of Guest Editors to provide their perspective on the state of research in this area of communications.

@bayvel_p @AvHStiftung @TU_Muenchen How long will you stay?

[Laurent Schmalen @LSchmalen]

#Quantum #LDPC codes decoded with belief propagation don't need to perform poorly. If we use a modified ensemble decoder and an adapted #QLDPC code design, we can mitigate the effects of unavoidable short cycles. #QEC #ErrorCorrection

@AndreasAtETH I have a couple invite codes for scientists. DM me if interested

[Laurent Schmalen @LSchmalen]

@CraigGidney There is an interesting analogy in communications. Until the 90s, people were chasing for codes with good distance properties and good performance. Turbo codes from 1993 turned out to have amazing performance in the regime of interest with only logarithmic distance growth

@taodream @ECOC_Conference What’s the difference between PhD and EngD?

[Laurent Schmalen @LSchmalen]

@ID_AA_Carmack This was done in the GSM full rate speech codec. Only the MSBs were protected against bit errors by a convolution code. The LSBs of the residual signal (after linear prediction, sort of lossy compression ) were not protected as bit errors didn’t cause too many distortions

Call for Papers: IEEE VCC 2023

This brand-new conference supports researchers, professionals, and scholars in communications who may be unable to travel with a virtual platform to present their work.

Submit your paper by 1 Sept: https://t.co/udLuxDx3IX

[Tim O'Shea @oshtim]

The first IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning in Communications and Networking will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, May 2024. The submission deadline this September! Please spread the word and submit great work! @ieeeorg @comsoc #IEEE #ICMLCN https://t.co/4gGFkuRVRD

[Laurent Schmalen @LSchmalen]

@DarkoZibar14 @VILLUMFONDEN @ERC_Research Amazing! Great topic! Looking forward for collaboration

[Laurent Schmalen @LSchmalen]

@taodream Congrats! What’s the conclusion of the book? It is rather thin?

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

It's quite something that the world's top scientists put out a synthesis report that essentially says civilization as we know it will end unless the world comes together to stop rapidly expanding the fossil fuel industry but to instead rapidly end it, and almost no one cares

[Laurent Schmalen @LSchmalen]

@divbyzero I also like to think of Sudoku as an error correcting code, in particular a code on a graph. Solving a sudoku boils down to decoding a code word transmitted over an erasure channel.

[Laurent Schmalen @LSchmalen]

Very happy to have been elevated to the grade of #IEEE #Fellow by @IEEEorg . Thanks and appreciation go to all my collaborators and students from @BellLabs and @KITKarlsruhe without whom I couldn‘t have made these contributions!

[IEEE Photonics Society @IEEEPhotonics]

Fellow Friday is back! We will be highlighting #Photonics society members who have been elevated to the grade #IEEE #Fellow. Our first feature is @LSchmalen of @KITKarlsruhe for contributions to the design of error correction and modulation techniques for #opticalnetworks.

[Laurent Schmalen @LSchmalen]

@ShriramKMurthi In particular in Germany, you can graduate at any point during the year, there is no fixed schedule. Also funded projects can start at any point in time. PhD students are not treated as students but rather as research assistants that join/leave the lab or get a PhD at any time

[Laurent Schmalen @LSchmalen]

@GerryMcBride The Siemens mobile Xelibri line was completely out of line. Here are just a few examples
