Artificial intelligence in telecommunications

As society is propelled towards the information age, the key component of this change, the telecommunications network faces rapid and profound transformations. Novel approaches such as artificial intelligence (AI) will be essential to achieve these transformations efficiently. The paper is aimed at those engineers who, although familiar with telecommunications, may be unsure of artificial intelligence techniques. The document highlights the necessity for AI in telecommunications and provides a survey of AI techniques. Finally, it describes work being carried out in this field at Strathclyde University
