We introduce an unsupervised approach to efficiently discover the underlying features in a data set via crowdsourcing. Our queries ask crowd members to articulate a feature common to two out of three displayed examples. In addition we also…
The QUIC transport protocol represents a significant evolution in web transport technologies, offering improved performance and reduced latency compared to traditional protocols like TCP. Given the growing number of QUIC implementations,…
360-degree video provides an immersive 360-degree viewing experience and has been widely used in many areas. The 360-degree video live streaming systems involve capturing, compression, uplink (camera to video server) and downlink (video…
Adaptive bitrate (ABR) streaming enables video users to adapt the playing bitrate to the real-time network conditions to achieve the desirable quality of experience (QoE). In this work, we propose a novel crowdsourced streaming framework…
In this paper, we present a digital twin (DT)-assisted adaptive video streaming scheme to enhance personalized quality-of-experience (PQoE). Since PQoE models are user-specific and time-varying, existing schemes based on universal and…
The 360-degree video allows users to enjoy the whole scene by interactively switching viewports. However, the huge data volume of the 360-degree video limits its remote applications via network. To provide high quality of experience (QoE)…
Fog computing extends the cloud computing paradigm by allocating substantial portions of computations and services towards the edge of a network, and is, therefore, particularly suitable for large-scale, geo-distributed, and data-intensive…
The wide adoption of multimedia service capable mobile devices, the availability of better networks with higher bandwidths, and the availability of platforms offering digital content has led to an increasing popularity of multimedia…
Clearly, no one likes webpages with poor quality of experience (QoE). Being perceived as slow or fast is a key element in the overall perceived QoE of web applications. While extensive effort has been put into optimizing web applications…
Improvements in networking technologies and the steadily increasing numbers of users, as well as the shift from traditional broadcasting to streaming content over the Internet, have made video applications (e.g., live and Video-on-Demand…
The multimedia content and streaming are a major means of information exchange in the modern era and there is an increasing demand for such services. This coupled with the advancement of future wireless networks B5G/6G and the proliferation…
The popularity of immersive videos has prompted extensive research into neural adaptive tile-based streaming to optimize video transmission over networks with limited bandwidth. However, the diversity of users' viewing patterns and Quality…
This paper proposes and evaluates a novel algorithm for streaming video over HTTP. The problem is formulated as a non-convex optimization problem which is constrained by the predicted available bandwidth, chunk deadlines, available video…
To better serve users' demands in mobile applications (e.g., navigation), mobile crowdsourcing platforms can iteratively align large language model (LLM)-generated content (e.g., AI-generated traffic condition predictions) with human…
Crowdsourcing is a relatively economic and efficient solution to collect annotations from the crowd through online platforms. Answers collected from workers with different expertise may be noisy and unreliable, and the quality of annotated…
Outlier detection is a crucial part of robust evaluation for crowdsourceable assessment of Quality of Experience (QoE) and has attracted much attention in recent years. In this paper, we propose some simple and fast algorithms for outlier…
For distributed systems to properly react to peaks of requests, their adaptation activities would benefit from the estimation of the amount of requests. This paper proposes a solution to produce a short-term forecast based on data…
The Internet is integral to modern life, influencing communication, business, and lifestyles globally. As dependence on Internet services grows, the demand for high-quality service delivery increases. Service providers must maintain high…
In mobile networks, users may lose coverage when entering a building due to the high signal attenuation at windows and walls. Under such conditions, services with minimum bit-rate requirements, such as video streaming, often show poor…
Multimedia streaming over the Internet (live and on demand) is the cornerstone of modern Internet carrying more than 60% of all traffic. With such high demand, delivering outstanding user experience is a crucial and challenging task. To…
