Abstract: Techniques for configuring an entity are disclosed. The techniques include generating, based on multiple sets of features inputted into a machine learning model, predictions of multiple sets of performance metrics for multiple configurations of the entity. The techniques also include calculating a change in efficiency between each configuration in the multiple configurations and the base configuration based on a first set of performance metrics for the base configuration and a second set of performance metrics generated by the machine learning model for the configuration. The techniques further include determining, based on values of the change in efficiency calculated for the multiple configurations, a second set of configuration values with a highest increase in efficiency over the base configuration. The techniques additionally include causing the second set of configuration values to be outputted in association with the entity.
