Key Points
- The paper proposes building an RCA knowledge base from support tickets to speed up and improve root cause analysis during communications network outages when “five 9s” reliability can’t be guaranteed.
- It evaluates three LLM-based knowledge base construction methods—fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and a hybrid approach—using both lexical and semantic similarity metrics.
- Experiments on a real industrial dataset show the resulting knowledge base is effective as an initial resource for accelerating RCA and supporting higher network resilience.
- The study focuses on performance comparison methodology and shows practical potential for turning unstructured ticket data into an actionable RCA asset.
- Overall, the work targets operational continuity by reducing outage diagnosis time and helping prevent repeat disruptions through better RCA outputs.
