Over the past few months, we have been working closely with Tech in Asia to produce a documentary called “Crossing Borders,” which tells a story about the Greater Southeast Asia (ASEAN + Taiwan) startup ecosystem and some of the founders who make tech innovation happen here.
The story is complex. As varied as Southeast Asia is, its founders are even more varied.
This short video introduces you to three of these founders whose journeys have taken them to Taiwan.
Joel Leong (AW#13) -- co-founder of ShopBack, the region’s largest cash-back rewards platform, which is based in Singapore and has an R&D team in Taiwan
Jin-Ni Gan (AW#19) -- A Malaysian founder who lives in Singapore, Jin-Ni founded a micro-mobility startup called Telepod, which seeks to enable better transportation options, and a cleaner environment
Hai Ho (AW#18) -- A blockchain-focused founder based in Vietnam, Hai created Triip, which seeks to help residents of the region travel to places that are not normally on the typical tourist maps
The video is a good primer for showing some of the reasons why Southeast Asia founders launch here, or explore the market dynamics of this thriving country. Among them are:
* Mobile penetration rates that rank among the largest in Asia
*A digital economy and strong e-commerce legacy worth north of US$42 billion GMV per year
*Large pockets of SEA communities in cities like Taipei, which include a demographic that spans the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia (in fact there are over 80,000 Vietnamese in Taiwan)
*A population of engineering graduates numbering over 25,000 per year which many startups turn to for their backend and front end engineering development
*And don’t forget the many global technology companies, like Google and Microsoft, that have staged R&D practices here
For many founders out there who do not think of Taiwan as a tech-forward, e-economy-driven country, which shares similarities to the SEA ecosystem, this video and these facts may be an eye-opening experience.
If you are a founder in Southeast Asia, or a founder working on AI / Blockchain and would like to belong to a community of founders who work together to solve critical problems, apply for our next cohort, AppWorks Accelerator #21.

The COVID19 pandemic has been a challenging experience for many founders, but it has not slowed many of them down. Stay tuned for a follow up video we produced showing how founders in Southeast Asia have dealt with COVID19 and regional lockdown.

Abstract:
1.Deep Learning based Wireless Resource Allocation
【Abstract】
Judicious resource allocation is critical to mitigating interference, improving network efficiency, and ultimately optimizing wireless network performance. The traditional wisdom is to explicitly formulate resource allocation as an optimization problem and then exploit mathematical programming to solve it to a certain level of optimality. However, as wireless networks become increasingly diverse and complex, such as high-mobility vehicular networks, the current design methodologies face significant challenges and thus call for rethinking of the traditional design philosophy. Meanwhile, deep learning represents a promising alternative due to its remarkable power to leverage data for problem solving. In this talk, I will present our research progress in deep learning based wireless resource allocation. Deep learning can help solve optimization problems for resource allocation or can be directly used for resource allocation. We will first present our research results in using deep learning to solve linear sum assignment problems (LSAP) and reduce the complexity of mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP), and introduce graph embedding for wireless link scheduling. We will then discuss how to use deep reinforcement learning directly for wireless resource allocation with application in vehicular networks.
2.Deep Learning in Physical Layer Communications
【Abstract】
It has been demonstrated recently that deep learning (DL) has great potentials to break the bottleneck of the conventional communication systems. In this talk, we present our recent work in DL in physical layer communications. DL can improve the performance of each individual (traditional) block in the conventional communication systems or jointly optimize the whole transmitter or receiver. Therefore, we can categorize the applications of DL in physical layer communications into with and without block processing structures. For DL based communication systems with block structures, we present joint channel estimation and signal detection based on a fully connected deep neural network, model-drive DL for signal detection, and some experimental results. For those without block structures, we provide our recent endeavors in developing end-to-end learning communication systems with the help of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) and generative adversarial net (GAN). At the end of the talk, we provide some potential research topics in the area.
3.Machine Learning Interference Management
【Abstract】
In this talk, we discuss how machine learning algorithms can address the performance issues of high-capacity ultra-dense small cells in an environment with dynamical traffic patterns and time-varying channel conditions. We introduce a bi adaptive self-organizing network (Bi-SON) to exploit the power of data-driven resource management in ultra-dense small cells (UDSC). On top of the Bi-SON framework, we further develop an affinity propagation unsupervised learning algorithm to improve energy efficiency and reduce interference of the operator deployed and the plug-and-play small cells, respectively. Finally, we discuss the opportunities and challenges of reinforcement learning and deep reinforcement learning (DRL) in more decentralized, ad-hoc, and autonomous modern networks, such as Internet of things (IoT), vehicle -to-vehicle networks, and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks.
