In this paper an optimization algorithm for time synchronization in telecommunication network is proposed based on VAE(Variational Auto Encoder)framework. Firstly features are represented in latent space under proposed framework while performance of synchronization network is measured and evaluated. Secondly optimization algorithm is further designed with which feature of abnormal samples and benchmark are adaptively merged for smooth adjustment with low risk in practical network operation. Meanwhile considering the characteristics as domain knowledge of synchronization network, a novel metric is adopted to reduce the fluctuation of adjustment. The simulation results verified that performance of synchronization network is significantly improved by optimization templates reconstructed through decoding part of VAE model. It is implied that prior knowledge of synchronization in latent space is introduced with certain interpret-ability for assessment of monitoring performance while optimization adjustment can be properly operated through novel metric proposed in this algorithm.
