AI/ML platform project (@SANDEEP KUMAR JAISAWAL )

• Minutes & Meeting: Meeting notes

• Calendar: https://lists.o-ran-sc.org/g/main/calendar

• Repos created

  • Working on ci-management jobs ... request for help to @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) @Henrik Andersson

    • https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ci-management/+/9441

• Some question re data access - based on NONRTRIC ICS/DME demo- See below

• Working on integrated component installation - scripts etc

• Creating QoE assist xApp

• Adding unit tests

Data Access for AI-ML platform for Training/Inference @SANDEEP KUMAR JAISAWAL @John Keeney (Ericsson EST)

• Follow-on from NONRTRIC ICS/DME demo

  • "PM Collection & Delivery to rApps" 

    • Demo: PM Data Collection & Delivery to rApps

      • Video: Hi-Res

• Would be good to have a dedicated call - @Patrik Buhr@Henrik Andersson @Björn Magnusson know more  

  • We would to see others using the functions, feedback, requirements, suggestions etc.

• Keenly watching R1 interface - Should A1ML training & inference use the R1 DME interface for data?

  • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) AIML will need some interface - whether R1-DME or "other"-DME 

    • "R1" is currently to/from rApps ... but maybe R1 will be extended from intra SMO communications? Ref SMO Decomposition topic in O-RAN WG1. DME Interface will likely be similar for both

    • NONRTRIC ICS seems a good candidate for this while spec activities continue in O-RAN Alliance.

  • Historical data:

    • No 'Data lake' as yet ... but files previously collected can be queried, just add a previous start date to job/subscription

      • Can manually add older PM files to the 'collected' files

    • Would be good to consider what a DME interface to a data-lake might look like.

  • Can you query for multiple nodes in one subscription? - need to check. (@Patrik Buhr)

LFN DTF (@Timo Perala (Nokia))

• Agenda will be finalized this week.
