Discussion points:

  • Joseph Thaliath  mentioned that H release maintenance is ready
  • Professor and students from NTUST presented slides and showed on a demo on their implementation. They had some questions as mentioned below:
    • Q1. What is the feature store? What is inside it? Why called SDK?
      • Joseph Thaliath  clarified, that it is for storing features required for training. SDK is required to abstract the type of feature store DB and give a simple API for user.
    • Q2.How does the API update the job status and notify if the job status is changed, and what protocol is adopted?
      • Joseph Thaliath We have notification http post API which can be enabled. Other wise the current training job status can be queried using a GET API.
    • Q3. Can the general training pipeline do the training if the data source or characteristic is different?
      • Joseph Thaliath  clarified that the general training pipeline for training a particular types of AI/ML model (e.g. time series) and not specific to every usecase (e.g. qoe prediction) 
    • Q4. What is the purpose to have an automated testing for AI/ML Framework?
      • Joseph Thaliath clarified that we require an automated testing framework to test the installation of AIML framework and the APIs.
  • Rittwik Jana asked how a model is packaged with an rApp.
    • Joseph Thaliath clarified, that the model is deployed as separate pod by the kserve and it will expose http APIs to provide input and get prediction results.
  • Joseph Thaliath was proposing to have a deeper dive session with NTUST to discuss more on the collaboration.
  • Rittwik Jana asked if we have an idea about how to get data for the energy saving usecase. Joseph Thaliath said it is not clear now on how to get data.
  • Joseph Thaliath mentioned that EPICs for I release is created.
  • Joseph Thaliath mentioned that for generic training pipeline, we can have separate discussion with Navaneethan Rajasekaran

    • Request to review the "I" Release plan
    • Request for contributors

Discussion points:

  • Joseph Thaliath presented the I release plan. Summary and more details are there in the "I" Release page.
  • Joseph Thaliath mentioned that if anyone is interested to discuss on those topics or willing to contribute, please send an email to jo.thaliath@samsung.com
  • @Navaneethan asked about the pre-processing step that is required before training the model. How is it handled or it is assumed it will not be there ?
  • Joseph Thaliath mentioned that in the current framework it can be handled as part of training pipeline or limited instructions for data transformation can be given to data extraction component. But it is not clear how it is handled from O-RAN alliance point of view.
  • @Navaneethan asked if  we are storing the model in the pickle format or any other form recommended?
  • Joseph Thaliath mentioned that the framework is transparent to the format, any format, the model sdk zip the file/folder in Model DB. We are assuming the entity using the model knows how to use the model after unziping
  • Deeepanshu Karnwal asked if continuous training flow is supported?
  • Joseph Thaliath mentioned that the current framework supports only one time offline training and if training is required again, it needs to be triggered again using the training API. There is no option to currently use previous model for further training.
  • SANDEEP KUMAR JAISAWAL mentioned that the current framework has option to trigger training API again and again but the only thing that we are not doing is retaining as soon as the new set of data is available.
  • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) mentioned that there will some changes in the interface used by AIMLFW for the H-release maintenance
  • Kevin Timoney will clarify the changes in the interface used by AIMLFW  by email.

      • Joseph Thaliath  mentioned that we will try out the new approach of filtered data stored in influx DB. We analyze and see which type of data organization is better. or maybe in different usecases , we can have different data organization options.
      • Regarding milliseconds information to be captured as part of QoE dataset, we can have an offline discussion. 
    • SMO
      • Joseph Thaliath mentioned that , we need to try the SMO Influx DB option. Need to check if this can skipped as DME itself has an option to store filtered data in Influx DB.

      • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) mentioned via chat that what we saw in the demo will be likely be wrapped up inside an ORAN rApp manager, when we have a clear R1 spec for app management, and the app package defn etc will likely evolve too. But this is the basis/internals  for what we plan for osc.

  3. Action item of the previous meeting
    1. Joseph Thaliath about deployment repository
      1. keep the separate repository from it/dep as RICPLT
  4. About F2F Demo
    1. Joseph Thaliath shared the situation and then we need to discuss the demo scope and quality.
  5. Marwan Mansour (from Dell) is interested in the inference platform, so Joseph Thaliathgave him the presentation about the flow again. 
  6. Vishal Varvate (from Capgemini) is working on ONAP, already has a training manager, and wants to discuss how to contribute
  7. Deeepanshu Karnwal(from HCL) is interested in xApp-related contribution, his company has already contributed several xApps such as AD xApp
  8. Discussion about cooperation with Keysight (Eng Wei Koo - Keysight)

Presentation: 

  1. Greetings
  2. hoejoo.lee The First sprint will start on the 12th -  O-RAN SC's dev sprint2 begins on the 12th and ends on the 30th Sep.(Releases - Releases - Confluence (o-ran-sc.org)
  3. hoejoo.lee Jira Task creation is in progress. For seed code contribution, we will use an epic name as 'seed code', after that I will bring the names for the next features. 
  4. G release 
    1. G Release
      1. G Feature Scope / Achievements:
        • Stand-alone installation with Kubeflow as a Training host backend and Kserve as an Inference host backend
        • Manual Deployment of ML rApp and ML xApp
        • Initial Training Job Management (Data extraction/feature management)
        • Sample ML pipeline and ML xApp: QoE Prediction model using LSTM with data from ricapp/qp) => will bring this issue as a discussion point to RICAPP project
  5. Introduction of the project
    1. Initial Repositories :
      1. Joseph Thaliath  said that we would create aiml-fw/dep repository and link to it/dep
      2. James Li worried about the separate deployment repository from it/dep. He thinks of integrating all deployment flows and manage together in the same repository.
      3. Avinash Bhat  suggested discussing in the 'integration' meeting
    2. Architecture Flow for Initial Seed Code Contribution
      1. James Li said that about the seed code, for python language, it is required to put on the dependencies in the requirements.txt to check on the license standing in the dependencies quickly.
      2. James Li also said that there might be some researchers who are interested in this project. They are mostly focusing on developing models, they might want to see the data set availability. 
      3. Joseph Thaliath said that currently, this project focuses on the development of the framework, and we try to show the demonstration with a sample use case and test the framework. Jack from the TOC meeting also worries about data management. After the G release we can discuss data management as well because then we secure the basic version framework.
      4. Sridhar Rao suggests working with ITU-T since there is data for many RAN use cases.
  6. Discussion with projects
    1. MVP contribution related to AIML workflow
      1. Joseph Thaliath mentioned that we would provide some feedback to get a better understanding of the expected end-to-end workflow
      2. Joseph Thaliath/ Avinash Bhat said that we will be following the discussion from the MVP-C meeting and presenting our views.
    2. EMCO framework
      1. Joseph Thaliathsaid that we are checking the cooperation with EMCO project, and they would be presenting a demo in the follow-up meeting. We will keep an eye on it. 
  7. CII badging
    1. Joseph Thaliathsaid that we also need to keep in mind about this
