Enjoy the challenge

[Paul Almasan @PaulAlmasan]

I'm excited to introduce our new paper on network traffic compression using graph learning methods. Our method effectively exploits spatial correlations and temporal patterns present in network traffic to outperform GZIP by 50-65% on real-world networks. https://t.co/HL2ElTt5ed

[José Suárez-Varela @jsuarezvarela]

I'm thrilled to announce that our position paper “Graph Neural Networks for Communication Networks: Context, Use Cases and Opportunities” has been accepted in the pretigious IEEE Network Magazine 🎉🎉
