Explanations of artificial intelligence: Author proposes model that highlights evidence of fairness
Artificial intelligence (AI) is used in a variety of ways, such as building new kinds of credit scores that go beyond the traditional FICO score. However, while these tools can powerfully and accurately predict outcomes, their internal operations are often difficult to explain and interpret.
Slicing capacity-centered mode selection for network-assisted full-duplex cell-free distributed massive MIMO systems
Network-assisted full-duplex (NAFD) systems enable uplink and downlink communications within the same time-frequency resources, so as to avoid the overhead of switching uplink/downlink modes. However, as the number of users and access points (APs) proliferated, mass access brings significant overhead in mode selection.
