5G – MLFO Functionalities

Functionalities of the machine learning function orchestrator (MLFO):

  • MLFO can monitor & manage ML pipeline
  • Policy-based ML pipeline deployment
  • Optimal placement of ML pipeline nodes in the network
  • Intent-based specification
  • Standard representation & interoperable integration of data handling [ITU-T Y.3174], [b-ML5G-I-148], and ML marketplaces [ITU-T Y.ML-IMT2020-MP]
  • Chaining/split of ML pipeline nodes, selection of ML models, monitoring model performance, reselection and update
  • MLFO decouples ML functions from the underlying network (reduces ML pipeline operational costs)
