3rd Invited talk by Scientific commitee - LINCS Annual Workshop with its Scientific Committee

“Machine learning in telco networks and how to evaluate it” by Holger Karl (Universität Paderborn, DE).
Applying machine learning in telco networks is often considered promising, with distributed deployment of both inference and training considered mandatory to deal with the large scale of such networks. Such deployments challenge current evaluation techniques: How do we know that an ML approach is actually good, when confronted with the challenges of realistic networks? This talk will briefly present two toolkits, one emulation-based, one simulation-based, for such evaluation challenges. Mostly, the talk is intended to kickstart a discussion on what kinds of tools and evaluation setups are needed for realistic, convincing performance evaluation campaigns.
