SPC 2023-08-28 Meeting notes

SPC meeting had long discussion of how to implement the GB initiative to support Network Intelligence and AI.  Beth Cohen gave an introduction to the Thoth project and suggested that it might be a good base to support it.  Big rocks are:  Good standardized data set (generic or donated), what is the best way to address network optimization or operational optimization.  How much of these projects fall within the purview of LFN and how do they relate to other AI initiatives within LF overall.

  • How do we bring AI experts into the discussion - needs a separate public workgroup. 
    • 5G-SBP model work?  Probably too big
    • Suggestion for a group under the TAC - so would be open 
    • Creation of a SIG is probably the best
