According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Margin hedging in optical communication systems allows for overhead within the optical system. A machine learning model can be trained using the output of a physics based simulation of the optical system as well as the features of the optical system. A trained machine learning model can adjust the results of a physics based simulation of an optical network to more accur...
