Wireless Communications

HKUST proposes the “Reasoning-Empowered Task-Oriented Communication” framework, equipping AI agents with autonomous logical reasoning capabilities to determine what information to share, when to communicate, and why information exchange is necessary. The research team includes Prof. Khaled B. Letaief (front row, center), Prof. Zhang Jun (front row, left), Prof. Song Shenghui (front row, right), Dr. Wang Zixin (back row, right), Xie Songjie (back row, first left) and Li Hongru (back row, second left).
