Applications that allow sharing of user-created short videos exploded in popularity in recent years. A typical short video application allows a user to swipe away the current video being watched and start watching the next video in a video…
Short-form videos have become one of the most popular user-generated content formats nowadays. Popular short-video platforms use a simple streaming approach that preloads one or more videos in the recommendation list in advance. However,…
The surge in popularity of short-form video content, particularly through platforms like TikTok and Instagram, has led to an exponential increase in data traffic, presenting significant challenges in network resource management. Traditional…
Short video streaming applications have recently gained substantial traction, but the non-linear video presentation they afford swiping users fundamentally changes the problem of maximizing user quality of experience in the face of the…
Video transcoding is the process of converting a video to the format supported by the viewer's device. Video transcoding requires huge storage and computational resources, thus, many video stream providers choose to carry it out on the…
Bandwidth consumption is a significant concern for online video service providers. Practical video streaming systems usually use some form of HTTP streaming (progressive download) to let users download the video at a faster rate than the…
Social media platforms use short, highly engaging videos to catch users' attention. While the short-form video feeds popularized by TikTok are rapidly spreading to other platforms, we do not yet understand their impact on cognitive…
We propose a digital twin-assisted adaptive preloading scheme to enhance bandwidth efficiency and user quality of experience (QoE) in short video streaming. We first analyze the relationship between the achievable throughput and video…
Video stream is converted to several formats to support the user's device, this conversion process is called video transcoding, which imposes high storage and powerful resources. With emerging of cloud technology, video stream companies…
This paper describes a new approach for allocating resources to video streaming traffic. Assuming that the future channel state can be predicted for a certain time, we minimize the fraction of the bandwidth consumed for smooth streaming by…
Short-format videos have exploded on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Despite this, the research community lacks large-scale empirical studies into how people engage with short-format videos and the role of recommendation…
The knowledge of future throughput variations in mobile networks becomes more and more possible today thanks to the rich contextual information provided by mobile applications and services and smartphone sensors. It is even likely that such…
The exponential growth of data storage demands has necessitated the evolution of hierarchical storage management strategies [1]. This study explores the application of streaming machine learning [3] to revolutionize data prefetching within…
Recently, HTTP-Based Adaptive Streaming has become the de facto standard for video streaming over the Internet. It allows the client to adapt media characteristics to varying network conditions in order to maximize Quality of Experience…
Short video platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts have gained immense popularity in the last few years and are responsible for a large and growing fraction of Internet traffic. We identify two unique opportunities for…
We present and evaluate a procedure that utilizes mobility and throughput prediction to prefetch video streaming data in integrated cellular and WiFi networks. The effective integration of such heterogeneous wireless technologies will be…
In today's digital landscape, video content dominates internet traffic, underscoring the need for efficient video processing to support seamless live streaming experiences on platforms like YouTube Live, Twitch, and Facebook Live. This…
In anticipatory networking, channel prediction is used to improve communication performance. This paper describes a new approach for allocating resources to video streaming traffic while accounting for quality of service. The proposed…
Video streaming often requires transcoding content into different resolutions and bitrates to match the recipient's internet speed and screen capabilities. Video encoders like x264 offer various presets, each with different tradeoffs…
This paper proposes a generative method to dynamically simulate users' short video watching journey for watch time prediction in short video recommendation. Unlike existing methods that rely on multimodal features for video content…
