As conventional storage density reaches its physical limits, the cost of a gigabyte of storage is no longer plummeting, but rather has remained mostly flat for the past decade. Meanwhile, file sizes continue to grow, leading to ever fuller…
Recent years have witnessed the rising of short-form video platforms such as TikTok. Apart from conventional videos, short-form videos are much shorter and users frequently change the content to watch. Thus, it is crucial to have an…
Understanding the factors that impact the popularity dynamics of social media can drive the design of effective information services, besides providing valuable insights to content generators and online advertisers. Taking YouTube as case…
Video summarization aims to extract keyframes/shots from a long video. Previous methods mainly take diversity and representativeness of generated summaries as prior knowledge in algorithm design. In this paper, we formulate video…
360-degree videos have gained increasing popularity in recent years with the developments and advances in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies. In such applications, a user only watches a video scene within a field…
When individuals in a population can be classified in classes or categories, the coverage of a sample, $C$, is defined as the probability that a randomly selected individual from the population belongs to a class represented in the sample.…
Inferring the quality of streaming video applications is important for Internet service providers, but the fact that most video streams are encrypted makes it difficult to do so. We develop models that infer quality metrics (\ie, startup…
Crowdsourced live video streaming (livecast) services such as Facebook Live, YouNow, Douyu and Twitch are gaining more momentum recently. Allocating the limited resources in a cost-effective manner while maximizing the Quality of Service…
This work is devoted to a certain class of probabilistic snapshots for elements of the observed data stream. We show you how one can control their probabilistic properties and we show some potential applications. Our solution can be used to…
Generative conversational interfaces powered by large language models (LLMs) typically stream output token-by-token at a rate determined by computational budget, often neglecting actual human reading speeds and the cognitive load associated…
Video analytics are often performed as cloud services in edge settings, mainly to offload computation, and also in situations where the results are not directly consumed at the video sensors. Sending high-quality video data from the edge…
Retrieval of live, user-broadcast video streams is an under-addressed and increasingly relevant challenge. The on-line nature of the problem requires temporal evaluation and the unforeseeable scope of potential queries motivates an approach…
With the dawn of the Big Data era, data sets are growing rapidly. Data is streaming from everywhere - from cameras, mobile phones, cars, and other electronic devices. Clustering streaming data is a very challenging problem. Unlike the…
Much of the delivery of University education is now by synchronous or asynchronous video. For students, one of the challenges is managing the sheer volume of such video material as video presentations of taught material are difficult to…
Micro-video popularity prediction (MVPP) forecasts the popularity a newly uploaded short-form video will attract within a fixed number of days after upload. This task supports downstream applications in recommendation, advertising, and…
In spite of much progress and many advances, cost-effective, high-quality video delivery over the internet remains elusive. To address this ongoing challenge, we propose Sunstar, a solution that leverages simultaneous downloads from…
Automatic resource scaling is one advantage of Cloud systems. Cloud systems are able to scale the number of physical machines depending on user requests. Therefore, accurate request prediction brings a great improvement in Cloud systems'…
Video sharing and entertainment websites have rapidly grown in popularity and now constitute some of the most visited websites on the Internet. Despite the active user engagement on these online video-sharing platforms, most of recent…
Current approaches for activity recognition often ignore constraints on computational resources: 1) they rely on extensive feature computation to obtain rich descriptors on all frames, and 2) they assume batch-mode access to the entire test…
The Video comprises approximately ~85\% of all internet traffic, but video encoding/compression is being historically done with hard coded rules, which has worked well but only to a certain limit. We have seen a surge in video compression…
