AI summary

Systems and methods provide a demand forecasting and network optimization for telecommunications services in a network. The systems and methods use classical and quantum computing devices. The computing devices evaluate data types using statistical symmetry recognition and operate between classical and quantum environments. Computing devices receive deposited data, batch data, and streamed data that relates to telecommunications services and segregate the data into spatial and temporal factors. The computing devices receive an analytic request for a forecast of the telecommunications services and conduct a multi-class plural-factored elastic cluster (MPEC) analysis for the telecommunications services using the segregated data. The MPEC analysis includes generating vectors comprised of slopes from plural coefficients to determine demand elasticity from plural features. The computing devices generate, based on the multi-class plural-factored elastic cluster model, a real-time demand-based forecast for the telecommunications services, and output the demand-based forecast.
