Most CNN-based biomedical reconstruction methods rely on trainable regularizers or PnP denoisers—but both need strict stability constraints that limit model expressivity. Dr. Unser will show how making activation functions trainable (with controlled slopes) can break this bottleneck and open the door to more powerful reconstruction networks.

Unlocking 6G Potential!

ELAA systems are key to major 6G performance improvements, but we need to tackle the challenges of computational complexity and interconnection cost.

The solution? Distributed signal processing! It offers a scalable pathway by moving baseband tasks—like channel estimation and beamforming—from centralized processing to cooperative designs with local computing and limited information exchange.
