Building an AI Ecosystem around collaborative agents based on LLMs

Mr. Taeyoung Kim
CEO, AIFactory

Abstract

As we move beyond using the knowledge and creative capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, research and development are underway to establish an AI ecosystem centered around LLMs. This presentation will introduce a system that leverages the remarkable performance and flexibility of LLMs for general tasks, integrating a variety of tools through collaboration with task-specific AIs to address user requests. Our approach, by integrating the strengths of specific AI with the general capabilities of LLMs, creates a more holistic, robust, and adaptable solution to meet diverse user requirements. Further, we will delve into the concept of autonomous agents that can contribute to the improvement and optimization of the system's decision-making process. These agents, working in sync with LLMs, represent the next step in our journey towards a truly intelligent and responsive AI ecosystem. Join us as we explore the future of AI, its applications, and how LLM-based agents are reshaping the landscape of AI technology.

AI model for sound-based sleep monitoring

Dr. Daewoo Kim
Chief AI Officer, Asleep Inc.

Abstract

With a growing interest in sleep monitoring at home, sound-based sleep staging with deep learning has emerged as a potential solution. However, collecting labeled data is restrictive in the home environments due to the inconvenience of installing medical equipment at home. To handle this, we propose novel training approaches using accessible real-world sleep sound data. Our key contributions include a new semi-supervised learning technique that considers the time-series nature of sleep sound. Our model was evaluated on various datasets including a labeled home sleep sound dataset and the public PSG-Audio dataset, demonstrating the robustness and generalizability of our model across real-world scenarios.

KDDI Views on 6G Mobile Core

Mr. Akito Suzuki
Core Researcher, KDDI Research, Inc.

Video

Abstract

Toward the 6G mobile network, KDDI has proposed a 6G RAN architecture, named user-centric RAN, to provide personalized radio signals for each user. Based on the promising idea of convergence between RAN and CORE networks, we are proposing the 6G mobile core system called user-centric core to cooperate with user-centric RAN, which is a highly efficient, automated, and customizable mobile network which satisfies the diverse requirements of each user/service. From the U-Plane perspective, we believe that the conventional UPF processing, which binds the forwarding process of one IP flow to one CPU core, may become a bottleneck in achieving high-capacity communication requirements in 6G, and we are studying the feasibility of a UPF acceleration method by assigning multiple CPU cores to one IP flow. Our presentation introduces the key technologies to realize them, i.e., "Full-SBA," "Lightweight," "Component," and "multi-CPU core processing UPF."
