• Saravanan from Samsung team propose improvement in AD xApp in terms of improving the the ML model to improve the efficiency.

  • Following are the details : To Automate anomaly detection using Statistical/ML models to reduce effort to less then an Hour, we analysed multiple machine learning algorithms like Isolation Forest, CBLOF, KNN, OCSVM, XGBOOST, Random Forest. Among all machine-learning algorithms, XGBoost has performed well on seen and unseen data. Hence, we can say that XGBoost model can work on multiple circle in cellular network.
