US Patent 10536344 Privacy-aware model generation for hybrid machine learning systems

In one embodiment, a network assurance service executing in a local network clusters measurements obtained from the local network regarding a plurality of devices in the local network into measurement clusters. The network assurance service computes aggregated metrics for each of the measurement clusters. The network assurance service sends a machine learning model computation request to a remote service outside of the local network that includes the aggregated metrics for each of the measurement clusters. The remote service uses the aggregated metrics to train a machine learning-based model to analyze the local network. The network assurance service receives the trained machine learning-based model to analyze performance of the local network. The network assurance service uses the receive machine learning-based model to analyze performance of the local network.
