Reinforcement learning for autonomous telecommunications networks

Abstract:

Systems and methods include steps of determining a state of a network based on telemetry data; determining a value of a reward associated with the state; determining an action to take on the network to bring the network to a next state that is expected to have a better than or equal to value of the reward; and causing the action to be implemented in the network. The steps can also include continuing the determining steps and the causing step.
