Abstract
A telecommunication system can include a control device and a network gateway. The control device can determine cache-update instructions by operating trained computational models. The network gateway can receive cache-update instructions from the control device and transmit corresponding items of content to network terminals. In some examples, the network terminals can receive the items of content and store them in respective content caches at the at the network terminals. In some examples, the control device can determine respective content scores for at least two items of content; cluster the at least two items of content based at least in part on usage data associated with the network terminals to determine respective cluster labels for the at least two items of content; and determine the cache-update instructions based at least in part on the content scores, the cluster labels, and network-resource information.
