For more information, visit www.hcltech.com Network Quality of Service (QoS) Classification Complaint Identification for Medical DevicesA leading telecom service provider wanted to introduce QoS analytics capabilities in a device management platform that they were using from HCL using HCL AION, a solution to provide Descriptive and Predictive Analytics insights for the CPE devices was developed. The Descriptive Analytics included
dashboards for QoS Analysis, Degraded QoS and Statistical insights. Predictive Analytics included quality -based traffc patterns, forecasts of error rates, noise and signal strengths. Customer Order ForecastingA leading telecom service provider wanted to automate order volume and trend monitoring (which was being monitored manually). No telemetry was defined for order volume variation. AION was introduced for AI/ML based forecasting to help in defining telemetry for order volume variation. A time series forecasting model was developed that was trained automatically every 24 hours (or as per configured interval) to forecast volumes for the next period (1 hour or configured interval).The problem was to identify cases of medical device complaints given a set of device services report records using unsupervised and supervised techniques. The complaint data was passed through AION pipeline where data profiling and feature selection were performed. Constant features were removed, and low variance features were handled. Features with empty rows were imputed appropriately. Supervised classification and unsupervised clustering was performed as two diferent approaches to categorize complaints.Proof Points

Sweden based multinational clothing customer The problem was to identify cases of medical device complaints given a set of device services report records using unsupervised and supervised techniques. The complaint data was passed through AION pipeline where data profiling and feature selection were performed. Constant features were removed, and low variance features were handled. Features with empty rows were imputed appropriately. Supervised classification and unsupervised clustering was performed as two different approaches to categorize complaints. Major Japanese industrial customer Apart from basic AutoML capabilities, custome r appreciated the features like Uncertainty quantification (provides a confidence level of the model in predictions) & explainability(Provides the explanation behind the prediction). Model explainability is part of responsible AI & hence part of compliance in certain geographies.Dutch based multinational conglomerate customer Customer appreciated AION’s collaborative solution related to all the data science related work across organization. Centralised MLOps capability was area of keen interest & resulted in identification of areas of engagement with customer.
