Telecommunications-network content caching

A system, comprising:

• a control device having a control unit configured to perform first operations comprising:
• determining one or more cache-update instructions at least partly by:
• operating a trained scoring computational model of the one or more computational models to determine a plurality of content scores, each content score of the plurality of content scores is associated with a respective item of the at least two items of content;
• clustering the at least two items of content based at least in part on usage data associated with one or more network terminals to determine respective cluster labels for the at least two items of content;
• operating a trained prediction computational model of the one or more computational models to determine prediction values associated with the first network terminal based at least in part on the content scores, the cluster labels, and network-resource information;
• and
• determining the first cache-update instruction based at least in part on at least one of the prediction values;
• the one or more cache-update instructions comprising a first cache-update instruction indicating:
• a first item of content of at least two items of content;
• and
• a first network terminal;
• and
• transmitting the first cache-update instruction via a network;
• and
• a network gateway having a control unit configured to perform second operations comprising:
• receiving the first item of content from a content server;
• and
• after the control device transmits the first cache-update instruction, transmitting the first item of content to the first network terminal.

At least one tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• determining at least two content scores for at least two items of content;
• clustering the at least two items of content based at least in part on usage data associated with one or more network terminals to determine the at least two cluster labels for the at least two items of content;
• determining one or more cache-update instructions based at least in part on the content scores, the cluster labels, and network-resource information, wherein the one or more cache-update instructions comprise a first cache-update instruction indicating a first network terminal;
• operating a trained prediction computational model taking as input at least the cluster labels and the network-resource information to provide a first prediction value associated with the first item of content and a second prediction value associated with a second, different item of content of the at least two items of content;
• determining that the first prediction value is more favorable than the second prediction value, wherein, in response, the first cache-update instruction indicates a first item of content of the at least two items of content and excludes a second item of content of the at least two items of content;
• and
• transmitting the first cache-update instruction via a network.
