I korthet

This Master thesis project focuses on adapting time series foundation models for energy-efficient 5G orchestration by fine-tuning them on cloud-native network function telemetry metrics. The goal is to develop accurate forecasts for proactive network management, reducing over-provisioning and energy waste.

Ansvarsområden

Investigate adaptation of time series foundation models (e.g., TimesFM, TTM) to cloud-native 5G NF telemetry.
Conduct data collection from lab and testbed environments.
Perform systematic evaluation of foundation models in zero-shot and few-shot settings.
Potentially implement parameter-efficient fine-tuning techniques (LoRA, adapters).
Benchmark foundation models against classical baselines on NF energy, resource usage, and/or traffic prediction.
Develop a fine-tuning methodology for adapting foundation models to cloud-native 5G NF telemetry metrics.
Analyze model generalization across NF types, prediction targets, and training data regimes.
Provide recommendations for integrating foundation model-based forecasting into energy-aware network orchestration pipelines.

Krav

Background in machine learning, computer science, data science, or a related field.
Strong understanding of deep learning and time series modelling.
