Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Efficient resource dimensioning is critical in the dynamic NFV landscape, particularly in complex 5G core (5GC) deployments. We propose a Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based solution that automatically generates NF resource configurations to meet SLA targets while optimizing infrastructure use. Since the available data maps configurations to KPIs, direct training in the reverse direction (KPIs to configurations) is infeasible. We address this with inverse input reconstruction. A second challenge arises because multiple valid configurations can satisfy the same KPI, which we solve by designing a loss function that balances inference accuracy with aggregate resource usage. Finally, since collecting sufficient experimental data is prohibitively slow (30– 60 minutes per sample), we design and implement a 5GC simulator to generate representative datasets. We evaluate our solution in this setting and show that it enables accurate and efficient configuration generation, demonstrating its feasibility for complex NFV services.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
