A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a powerful system of distributed caching servers that aims to accelerate content delivery, like high-definition video, IoT applications, and ultra-low-latency services, efficiently and with fast velocity.…
Content Centric Networking (CCN) is a new network infrastructure around content dissemination and retrieval, shift from host addresses to named data. Each CCN router has a cache to store the chunks passed by it. Therefore the caching…
Caching has recently attracted a lot of attention in the wireless communications community, as a means to cope with the increasing number of users consuming web content from mobile devices. Caching offers an opportunity for a win-win…
Information dissemination applications (video, news, social media, etc.) with large number of receivers need to be efficient but also have limited loss tolerance. The new Information-Centric Networks (ICN) paradigm offers an alternative…
Caching plays a crucial role in networking systems to reduce the load on the network and is commonly employed by content delivery networks (CDNs) in order to improve performance. One of the commonly used mechanisms, Least Recently Used…
Video streaming is growing in popularity and has become the most bandwidth-consuming Internet service. As such, robust streaming in terms of low latency and uninterrupted streaming experience, particularly for viewers in distant areas, has…
Micro-videos platforms such as TikTok are extremely popular nowadays. One important feature is that users no longer select interested videos from a set, instead they either watch the recommended video or skip to the next one. As a result,…
In many domain applications, a continuous timeline of human locations is critical; for example for understanding possible locations where a disease may spread, or the flow of traffic. While data sources such as GPS trackers or Call Data…
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…
Internet video delivery has undergone a tremendous explosion of growth over the past few years. However, the quality of video delivery system greatly depends on the Internet bandwidth. Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are utilized to improve the…
Video content is responsible for more than 70% of the global IP traffic. Consequently, it is important for content delivery infrastructures to rapidly detect and respond to changes in content popularity dynamics. In this paper, we propose…
Accurately capturing feature interactions is essential in recommender systems, and recent trends show that scaling up model capacity could be a key driver for next-level predictive performance. While prior work has explored various model…
Content Delivery Networks (CDN) are witnessing the outburst of video streaming (e.g., personal live streaming or Video-on-Demand) where the video content, produced or accessed by mobile phones, must be quickly transferred from a point to…
Content-Centric Networking (CCN) offers a novel architectural paradigm that seeks to address the inherent limitations of the prevailing Internet Protocol (IP)-based networking model. In contrast to the host-centric communication approach of…
Recent progress in multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) has significantly advanced video understanding. However, their performance on long-form videos remains limited by computational constraints and suboptimal frame selection. We…
Multimedia compression allows us to watch videos, see pictures and hear sounds within a limited bandwidth, which helps the flourish of the internet. During the past decades, multimedia compression has achieved great success using hand-craft…
Industry recommender systems usually suffer from highly-skewed long-tail item distributions where a small fraction of the items receives most of the user feedback. This skew hurts recommender quality especially for the item slices without…
The increasing importance of videos as a medium for engagement, communication, and content creation makes them critical for organizations to consider for user feedback. However, sifting through vast amounts of video content on social media…
Douyin, internationally known as TikTok, has become one of the most successful short-video platforms. To maintain its popularity, Douyin has to provide better Quality of Experience (QoE) to its growing user base. Understanding the…
The front end bottleneck in datacenter workloads has come under increased scrutiny, with the growing code footprint, involvement of numerous libraries and OS services, and the unpredictability in the instruction stream. Our examination of…
