Abstract(in English) The advances in network technologies such as network function virtualization (NFV) and network slicing enable flexible and quick integration of networks. However, the operation of networks using these new technologies can be challenging due to a greater number of network elements and their more complex composition. It is difficult to maintain a variety of service level agreements (SLAs) in next-generation networks by the conventional manual-based operation. To address this problem, in this paper, we adopt artificial intelligence (AI) which has been applied in many industries in this decade. We propose network analysis models using machine learning (ML) technology, and evaluate the models in the fifth generation (5G) core network. In our approach, the features for building models are derived from the time difference of the performance data collected from each node, and two types of models are created with the training data sets using the original features and those using the combined features. We evaluate the analysis performance of these two models in five failure cases. The experiment on the test network shows that the performance of the models depends on the failure cases. In particular, the analysis model trained with the combined features presents better results for the cases where a failure in one node causes some impacts in other nodes.
