PhD Researcher
Vincent Latzko received his Diploma degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from Technische Universität Darmstadt, with a focus on the fundamental theory of electromagnetic fields and the numerical solution of Maxwell’s equations (www.temf.de) using a multitude of mathematical and algorithmic methods (such as DG-FEM, FDTD, Symplectic or BEM/Integral Equation solvers). He worked extensively in fundamental research at one of Europe’s largest particle accelerator facilities, the GSI Helmholtzcentre for Heavy Ion Research (www.gsi.de).
In his diploma thesis with Prof. PhD Carsten Rother at the computer vision lab dresden he restored distorted depth maps using Regression Tree Fields, a non-parametric Gaussian Conditional Random Field method. He afterwards focused on analytical approaches for regression problems as well as on data driven, deep learning models.

Both paradigms allow vendors and designers to integrate dedicated circuitry for accelerating computation. Implementations like cryptographic or vector engines are well known, and nowadays Machine Learning (ML) blocks are often included to accelerate Deep Neural Network (DNN) inference. The shift toward diverse device architectures, as exemplified by RISC-V, is poised to gain momentum. The widespread integration of accelerators in smartphones, tablets, SoCs, and dedicated server systems, is opening up exciting new innovations. In this short paper we present computation offloading for specific workloads in the framework of Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) and energy optimisation. We honour inter- task dependency through use of a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). Our system model with multiple mobile users, Device- to-Device (D2D) links between User Equipments (UEs), and edge servers enables computational and communication cooperation. The system's energy efficiency is significantly improved by introducing accelerators to the UEs and the MEC. We study the capabilities of the devices (accelerators) and propose an effective solution.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inproceedings} }

Among various layer three block codes, Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) has emerged as an adaptable, powerful approach. However, its most straight-forward implementation, Full Vector Coding (FVC), introduces too much delay for widespread adoption. Handcrafted schemes were introduced to optimise coding delay, while keeping resilience reasonably high. These works have resulted in tailRLNC and PACE. For the first time we analyse their respective behaviours in a fair and comparable manner, as non-recovered packets were statistically ignored previously. We then introduce an environment that uses a consistent, unbiased simulator and interface it with a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) agent. This is the first time RLNC is joined with DRL. Our deep Q-network (DQN) based agent effectively uses an optimisation loop and utilises a customisable, expressive and extendable parametric loss function to learn a protocol. We demonstrate our agent recovers hand-tailored schemes and achieves state of the art.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inproceedings} }
