    Abstract: A method for generating a multi-layer predictive model includes collecting historical observable data from one or more pieces of equipment of a same type, wherein the historical observable data is collected at different hierarchical levels of the one or more pieces of equipment; collecting operational state indications of the pieces of equipment corresponding to the collected historical observable data; generating, from the collected historical observable data, a set of operational state models, wherein each operational state model corresponds to one of the different hierarchical levels; and generating, from outputs of the set of operational state models, a top-level operational model for the piece of equipment. The top-level operational model is operable to determine maintenance and replacement timing for the piece of equipment.

    Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may collect a first set of time series features relating to requests for a content item at a content distribution node in a communication network, generate a first prediction model based upon the first set of time series features to predict levels of demand for the content item at the content distribution node at future time periods, identify, via the first prediction model, a first time period of the future time periods when a predicted level of demand for the content item exceeds a threshold level of demand, identify a second time period of the future time periods when a predicted level of utilization of the communication network is below a threshold level of utilization, the second time period being prior to the first time period, and transfer the content item to the content distribution node in the second time period.

    Abstract: Determining a location of a user equipment (UE) based on historical location data and historical sector transition data is disclosed. A correlation between historic location information and a historic sector transition can be determined. The correlation can be stored in a searchable data set. A location of a current UE can be inferred based on a sector transition of the current UE. The sector transition of the current UE can be searched against eh data set to indicate a likely location of the current UE based on historical information. The searchable data set can be based on sparse location data enabling location determinations for a current UE that can otherwise lack location services. Moreover, an order of a sector transition can imbue a directionality to stored location information such that a likely location in a sector can be correlated to a transition from a prior sector of a network session of the UE.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards automatically detecting failure states and the cause of the failure. For a network, the technology collects status messages from equipment and customers into batches as they occur. The technology groups and aggregates messages, then transforms the aggregations to the frequency domain. Anomalies induce detectable changes in the particle distribution of a trained particle filter, from which an anomalous spectrogram is generated. The status messages of each device are iteratively removed from the larger set of messages, resulting in reduced subsets that are each aggregated, transformed into a modified spectrogram and compared against the anomalous spectrogram to obtain a distance score. The distance score for each device is used to rank the devices with respect to being the cause of the failure.

    Abstract: A method performed by a processing system including at least one processor includes defining a proposal for a proposed machine learning model, identifying an existing machine learning model, where the existing machine learning model shares a similarity with the proposed machine learning model, evaluating a fitness of the existing machine learning model for reuse in building the proposed machine learning model, building a new machine learning model that is consistent with the proposal for the proposed machine learning model by reusing a portion of the existing machine learning model, and monitoring a performance of the new machine learning model in a deployment environment.

    Abstract: Facilitating localization of faults in core, edge, and access networks is provided herein. Operations of a system can include establishing a restoration of a group of communication paths of a network infrastructure that includes network nodes between a root network node and a leaf network node. A fault is determined to exist in the group of communication paths between the root network node and the leaf network node. The operations also can include determining that a defined network node of the network nodes is a source of the fault based on respective positions of user equipment experiencing the fault relative to the defined network node. Further, the operations can include removing the fault based on controlling a functionality of the defined network node.
