Responsible incident prediction

Abstract

A disclosed method for incident dependency prediction includes identifying, for a newly-occurring network incident of interest, one or more similar historical incidents; obtaining causal dependency data for the one or more similar historical incidents, the causal dependency data identifying one or more historical responsible incidents responsible for causing the similar historical incidents; identifying candidate root cause incidents each occurring within a recent time interval and satisfying similarity criteria with a corresponding one of the one or more historical responsible incidents; and transmitting a prompt to an incident dependency prediction model, the prompt requesting prediction of a root cause incident responsible for causing the newly-occurring network incident of interest based on feature information for each of the candidate root cause incidents and for the incident of interest.
