Edge caching for cognitive applications

Abstract:

For caching of cognitive applications in a communication network a first input signal from a sensor device is detected by a proxy having a cache associated therewith. A representation of the first input signal is computed and sent to a server. A handle function is applied to the representation of the first input signal to compute a first handle value corresponding to the first input signal. The representation of the first input signal is transformed using a cognitive processing model of an answer function to compute a first answer value. A content of the cache is modified by the proxy by storing the first answer value in association with the first handle value in the cache.
