Deep Learning for Latent Events Forecasting in Content Caching Networks

Abstract

A novel Twitter context aided content caching (TAC) framework is proposed for enhancing the caching efficiency by taking advantage of the legibility and massive volume of Twitter data. For the purpose of promoting the caching efficiency, three machine learning models are proposed to predict latent events and events popularity, utilizing collected Twitter data with geo-tags and geographic information of the adjacent base stations (BSs). Firstly, we propose a latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) model for latent events forecasting because of the superiority of LDA model in natural language processing (NLP). Then, we conceive long short-term memory (LSTM) with skip-gram embedding approach and LSTM with continuous skip-gram-Geo-aware embedding approach for the events popularity forecasting. Furthermore, we associate the predict latent events and the popularity of the events with the caching strategy. Lastly, we propose a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) based content transmission scheme. Extensive practical experiments demonstrate that: 1) the proposed TAC framework outperforms conventional caching framework and is capable of being employed in practical applications thanks to the associating ability with public interests; 2) the proposed LDA approach conserves superiority for natural language processing (NLP) in Twitter data; 3) the perplexity of the proposed skip-gram based LSTM is lower compared with conventional LDA approach; and 4) evaluation of the model demonstrates that the hit rates of tweets of the model vary from 50% to 65% and the hit rate of the caching contents is up to approximately 75% with smaller caching space compared to conventional algorithms. Simulation results also shows that the proposed NOMA-enabled caching scheme outperforms conventional least frequently used (LFU) scheme by 25%.
