Deriving highly interpretable cognitive patterns for network assurance

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a network assurance system that monitors a network labels time periods with positive labels, based on the network assurance system detecting problems in the network during the time periods. The network assurance system assigns tags to discrete portions of a feature space of measurements from the monitored network, based on whether a particular range of values in the feature space has a threshold probability of occurring during a positively-labeled time period. The network assurance system determines a set of the assigned tags that frequently co-occur with the positively-labeled time periods in which problems are detected in the network. The network assurance system causes performance of a mitigation action in the network based on the set of assigned tags that frequently co-occur with the positively-labeled time periods.
