AI-Enhanced Troubleshooting & RCA Acceleration

Leveraging Retrieval Augmentation Generation (RAG) for domain-specific context integration.

MEF Accelerator Silent Comet

Revolutionizing troubleshooting processes and expediting Root Cause Analysis (RCA) resolution without relying on specialized network expertise.

This Accelerator explores how to augment the output of LLMs with external knowledge using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). This process includes collecting domain data, performing data preprocessing and transformation to vectors, and storing them in a vector database for efficient retrieval. We then enhance the model with domain-specific context sourced directly from these vectorized information stores, providing an additional layer of context to prompts beyond manual question fine-tuning.

We maintain flexibility by remaining open to leveraging Machine Learning (ML) techniques instead of LLMs, contingent upon the nature of the data available from domain providers. Each domain provider can aim to adapt Silent Comet’s approach based on the type of data they have. For unstructured data sources, LLMs can be used to extract insights and facilitate decision-making. Conversely, when dealing with structured datasets, ML algorithms can be employed to perform pattern recognition and predictive analytics. This dynamic approach ensures that we can effectively harness the power of both LLMs and ML to enhance troubleshooting and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) processes across diverse network environments.

To ensure comprehensive coverage, Silent Comet targets two domains for project implementation, utilizing the same or different technology stacks for comparison.
We plan to select pre-trained LLM base models for testing and evaluation in individual domains, building a platform to integrate them with specific domains using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).
By collecting diverse network-domain documents and performing data cleaning to ensure consistency and remove noise, we aim for continuous improvement aligned with updated network documentation and human interactions.
Additionally, this project will establish best practices for building RAG-based solutions, including the evaluation of data sources' usefulness for specific domains, methods for measuring solution quality, and strategies for evolving the knowledge base without compromising solution quality.
