Liquid Neural Networks: Next-Generation AI for Telecom from First Principles

Abstract: Recently, a novel type of neural networks, known as liquid neural networks (LNNs), has been designed from first principles to address robustness and interpretability challenges facing artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. The potential of LNNs in telecommunications is explored in this paper. First, we illustrate the mechanisms of LNNs and highlight their unique advantages over traditional networks. Then we highlight the opportunities that LNNs bring to future wireless networks. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and design directions for the implementation of LNNs. Finally, we summarize the performance of LNNs in two case studies.
