  • A Conversation with Behnaz Arzani: Shaping the future of network management

    In this interview, Ubiquity's senior editor, Bushra Anjum, chats with Behnaz Arzani, a principal researcher at Microsoft Research, about her pioneering work in automated network management. Arzani discusses the challenges of managing large-scale networks, particularly during incidents, and explores the role of AI and heuristics in addressing these challenges. The conversation then moves to her recently open-sourced project, MetaOpt, which helps network operators analyze and improve the impact of various network algorithms in use.

  • Enabling Intentional Human Engagement with AI

    In this interview, Ubiquity's senior editor, Dr. Bushra Anjum, chats with Ming Yin, an assistant professor at Purdue University, about how intentional human interactions can fully realize the potential of AI in augmenting human intelligence. We also discuss Dr. Yin's research to empirically understand how humans engage with AI, computationally model this engagement, and design interventions to improve humans' engagement with AI by both influencing human behavior and adjusting AI designs.
