Widespread ML use is expected in optical network management, yet model selection, training, evaluation, and deployment often require substantial human effort and empirical decisions. MachineLearning-as-a-Service (MLaaS) reduces this burden by streamlining the creation, assessment, and deployment of ML models for optical networking. The talk covers beneficial use cases, an MLaaS architecture, and performance results for two cases.","Machine-Learning-as-a-Service for Optical Networks: Use Cases and Benefits  \nDownloaded from: [https://research.chalmers.se](https://research.chalmers.se), 2023-10-28 13:59 UTC  \nCitation for the original published paper (version of record):  \nNatalino Da Silva, C., Mohammadiha, N., Panahi, A. et al (2023).

Monti1  \n1Department of Electrical Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden 2Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden  \n3Ericsson Research, Gothenburg, Sweden  \nABSTRACT  \nMachine Learning (ML) models have been a valuable tool to assist on the design and operation of optical networks. Several use cases have benefited from ML models, such as Quality-of-Transmission (QoT) estimation, device modeling, constellation shaping, and attack/anomaly prediction/detection. ML models are expected to be ubiquitous in optical network management and operations thereof. However, the amount of human intervention and empirical decisions needed to select the exact ML model, train and evaluate its performance, and ultimately deploy and use the model, may become a bottleneck for widespread ML use in optical networks. MachineLearning-as-a-Service (MLaaS) has the potential to greatly reduce human intervention and empirical decisions during the creation, evaluation, and deployment of ML models. In this talk, we will firstly discuss optical network use cases that can benefit from MLaaS. Then, we detail our proposed architecture for MLaaS. Finally, performance results for two use cases will be presented.","cbCaisl45Hg5cwTh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisl45Hg5cwTh","pdf",315137,1,2,"English","en",105,"# Overview\n## Optical-network ML use cases\n## MLaaS architecture\n## Performance results","[{\"question\":\"Which optical network tasks can benefit from MLaaS-supported machine learning models?\",\"answer\":\"Tasks include Quality-of-Transmission (QoT) estimation, device modeling, constellation shaping, and attack/anomaly prediction or detection.\"},{\"question\":\"Why can human effort limit widespread ML adoption in optical networks?\",\"answer\":\"Selecting the right ML model, training and evaluating performance, and deploying it can require significant human intervention and empirical decisions.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the MLaaS approach aim to improve in the ML lifecycle?\",\"answer\":\"MLaaS reduces the need for manual steps during creation, evaluation, and deployment of ML models, helping integrate them more broadly into optical network operations.\"}]","Machine-Learning-as-a-Service for Optical Networks -
