Modeling ML Efficiency in Telecommunications

Abstract Machine learning (ML) models are envisioned to play a fundamental role in Beyond 5G networks. However, training these models presents significant challenges due to the vast amounts of data involved and the complexity of the algorithms, requiring substantial training time and computing resources. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of how dataset characteristics, model complexity, and the number of iterations influence model performance and training time. Furthermore, we take pioneering steps towards modeling the performance and training time of ML models, specifically within the telecommunications sector. Our findings can pave the way for informed decision-making processes in telecommunications, enabling a comprehensive understanding of expected performance and training time requirements. Leading to reduced development times and optimized energy consumption and resource allocation.
