Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed herein for using machine learning models to predict proper resource levels and performance levels of those resources. One mechanism for predicting proper resource levels and performance levels of those resources may involve a use of a machine learning model that is enabled to receive user data as input and output a predication for one or more actions for each user. The users may be clustered based on the user action predicted by the machine learning model and one or more action sequences may be executed against each action cluster.
