Abstract
Examples relate to predicting available access points. In one example, a computing device may: obtain a set of training fingerprints, each training fingerprint specifying, for a client device, i) a set of access points, and ii) cellular signal strength measurements for each cellular tower in a set of cellular towers; generate a plurality of classes based on the set of training fingerprints, each class specifying at least one access point, the access points of each class corresponding to the set of access points specified by at least one training fingerprint, and each combination being different from combinations specified by each other class in the plurality of classes; and train a predictive model to receive, as input, an input fingerprint specifying a cellular signal strength measurement for each cellular tower in a set of input cellular towers and produce, as output, at least one of the plurality of classes.
