This paper presents a hybrid photonic integration concept based on the use of a polymer motherboard, InP EML arrays and InP PD arrays to realize WDM and SDM Terabit optical engines operating at 100-Gb/s or even at 20! 0-Gb/s per lane. The optical...

Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is targeted at understanding how models perform feature selection and derive their classification decisions. This paper explores post-hoc explanations for deep neural networks in the audio domain....

Experimental tests of the OFDM and OOK-based PHYs in the Li-Fi standard IEEE 802.15.13-2023 show that the higher peak data rates of OFDM and the longer reach of OOK make them suitable for deployment in down- and uplink use cases, respectively.

In recent years, immersive applications such as Cloud XR have emerged, which require very low latency to ensure a high quality of experience. This paper presents a congestion control algorithm combined with L4S to achieve stable and low latency...

We present a guard-ring free InGaAs/InP single photon avalanche diode with 20 µm diameter for the optical C-band. At 225 K, 25.6 µs dead time and 17% detection efficiency, the dark count rate is 3 kcps with 0.5% afterpulsing probability. This...

Due to the lack of a feedback channel in the C-V2X sidelink, finding a suitable MCS level is a difficult task. In this paper, we propose an ML approach that uses quantile prediction to predict the MCS level with the highest achievable data rate....

One of cost-effective ways to increase the transmission capacity of current standard wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission systems is to use a wavelength band other than the C-band to transmit in multi-band. We proposed the concept...

While the evaluation of explanations is an important step towards trustworthy models, it needs to be done carefully, and the employed metrics need to be well-understood. Specifically model randomization testing is often overestimated and regarded...

Rule-based and modified backpropagation XAI methods struggle with innovative layer building blocks and implementation-invariance issues. In this work we propose canonizations for popular deep neural network architectures and introduce an XAI...

Applying traditional post-hoc attribution methods to segmentation or object detection predictors offers only limited insights, as the obtained feature attribution maps at input level typically resemble the models' predicted segmentation mask or...

State-of-the-art machine learning models often learn spurious correlations embedded in the training data. This poses risks when deploying these models for high-stake decision-making, such as in medical applications like skin cancer detection. To...

Due to their perfect periodic autocorrelation property, Zadoff–Chu sequences are often used as stimulus signals in the measurement of radio channel responses. In this letter, the cross-correlation of a linear shift-invariant system's response to...

In this paper, we show that many of such unsuccessful samples in image-to-image translation lie at the fringe—relatively low-density areas of data distribution, where the DNN was not trained very well. To tackle this problem we propose to perform...

We propose a system to automatically generate enriched digital models from this data, consisting of two AI modules: one for 3D model reconstruction from 2D plans and one for 6D localization of images taken within a building in the corresponding...

Fraunhofer HHI Researchers investigate in this publication a cost-efficient capacity upgrade of optical transmission systems by the reuse of already deployed single mode fiber. This is enabled by the benefits of other transmission bands, to...
