Abstract
A method performed by a node for predicting a behavior of users of a communications network is described. The node manages an artificial neural network. The node merges a first pre-existing predictive model of the behavior in a first group of users with a second model of the behavior in a second group of users. The merging comprises establishing connections between the first model and the second model. Each of the connections has a respective weight. The respective weights of the connections are learned by respective connections of neurons in the artificial neural network based on data from a third group of users. The node also obtains a third model for predicting the behavior in the third group of users, based on the merged models and the data from the third group of users.
