When Digital Twin Meets Generative AI: Intelligent Closed-Loop Network Management
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) and digital twin (DT) are advanced data processing and virtualization technologies to revolutionize communication networks. Thanks to the powerful data processing capabilities of GAI, integrating it into DT is a potential approach to construct an intelligent holistic virtualized network for better network management performance. To this end, we propose a GAI-driven DT (GDT) network architecture to enable intelligent closed-loop network management. In the architecture, various GAI models can empower DT status emulation, feature abstraction, and network decision-making. The interaction between GAI-based and model-based data processing can facilitate intelligent external and internal closed-loop network management. To further enhance network management performance, three potential approaches are proposed, i.e., model light-weighting, adaptive model selection, and data-model-driven network management. We present a case study pertaining to data-model-driven network management for the GDT network, followed by some open research issues.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
