Abstract

The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) based Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) has witnessed significant growth, posing a critical challenge in orchestrating AI models within next-generation 6G networks. Finding optimal AI model placement is significantly more challenging than placing traditional software-based VNFs, due to the introduction of numerous uncertain factors by AI models, such as varying computing resource consumption, dynamic storage requirements, and changing model performance. To address the AI model placement problem under uncertainties, this paper presents a novel approach employing a sequence-to-sequence (S2S) neural network which considers uncertainty estimations. The S2S model, characterized by its encoding-decoding architecture, is designed to take the service chain with a number of AI models as input and produce the corresponding placement of each AI model. To address the introduced uncertainties, our methodology incorporates the orthonormal certificate module for uncertainty estimation and utilizes fuzzy logic for uncertainty representation, thereby enhancing the capabilities of the S2S model. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method achieves competitive results across diverse AI model profiles, network environments, and service chain requests.
