ABSTRACT
While it is true that we are in the middle of one of the Artificial Intelligence hypes, it is also true that the combination of unprecedented computation-power and data availability with new variations of well seasoned Machine Learning algorithms is dramatically changing the optimization strategies for large ICT industries. Especially, the telecommunications industry has always had to deal with complex systems, stochastic contexts, combinatorial problems, and hard to predict users; Machine Learning-aided optimization was just waiting there to be used by telecoms. In this paper, we introduce some basic Machine Learning concepts, and discuss how it can be used in the context of telecommunications networks, particularly in optical and wireless networks.
