Approaches for optimizing network demand forecasting models and network topology using hyperparameter selection are provided. An approach includes defining a pool of features that are usable in models that predict demand of network resources, wherein the pool of features includes at least one historical forecasting feature and at least one event forecasting feature. The approach also includes generating, using a computer device, an optimal model using a subset of features selected from the pool of features. The approach further includes predicting future demand on a network using the optimal model. The approach additionally includes allocating resources in the network based on the predicted future demand.

Hyperparameter and network topology selection in network demand forecasting

A system, method and program product for selecting an algorithm and feature set to solve a problem. A perpetual analytics system is disclosed that provides a genetic algorithm for jointly selecting an algorithm and feature set to solve a problem, comprising: an evolutionary computing engine for processing data encoded as chromosomes, wherein each chromosome encodes an algorithm and a feature set; a domain knowledge store that maintains a plurality of algorithms and a plurality of features; a system for applying a generation of chromosomes to a set of data to provide a set of results; and a fitness function for evaluating the set of results to rate a performance of each chromosome in the set of chromosomes; wherein the evolutionary computing engine is adapted to evolve a subset of the set of chromosomes into a new generation of chromosomes.
