  • Publication number: 20230135397
    Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to selecting network routes based on aggregating models that can predict routing performance in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include communicating, to second routing equipment, a first model describing a delay predicted to be caused to a future communication by the future communication being transited via the first routing equipment. The method can further include receiving, from the second routing equipment, a current communication for transit via the first routing equipment to destination equipment, wherein the first routing equipment was selected by the second routing equipment based on the first model, and second models, other than the first model, describing respective predicted delays from other routing equipment other than the first routing and second routing equipment.

  • Publication number: 20220092641
    Abstract: Machine learning (ML) can be used to gather data on prospective customers from publicly available online sources. The ML can provide data on a likelihood of near future, customers and subscribers and a list of people with low interest in the company's products. The ML system can be recursively updated as new public data becomes available online. Thus, the ML system can be used to generate targeted advertising and root cause analysis based on a relationship between people's statuses and their respective interests in certain products and/or services.

  • Publication number: 20210390210
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, computer-readable media, and devices for making content recommendations in a manner that protects private user data. In one example, a method includes collecting content consumption history data for a specific user of a telecommunications network, inserting random noise into the content consumption history data to produce anonym ized data, sending the anonym ized data over a network to a centralized device, receiving correlation data from the centralized device, wherein the correlation data indicates correlations among a plurality of items of content that is available for consumption via the telecommunications network, and predicting a likelihood that the specific user would be interested in a particular item of the plurality of items of content, wherein the predicting is based on the content consumption history data and on the correlation data. The steps may be carried out by a processor of a user endpoint device.
