Abstract
Caching popular videos at mobile edge servers (MESs) has been confirmed as a promising method to improve mobile users (MUs) perceived quality of experience (QoE) and to alleviate the server load. However, with the multiple bitrate encoding techniques prevalently employed in modern streaming services, caching deployment is challenging for the following three facts: (1) cooperative caching should be explored for MUs located at overlapped coverage areas of MESs; (2) there exists tradeoff consideration for caching either high bitrate videos or high diversity videos; and (3) the relationship between MU perceived QoE and MU received bitrate, known as QoE function, varies in different services. Aiming to maximize the MU perceived QoE, we formulate the multiple bitrate video caching problem, and prove this problem is NP-hard for any given positive and strictly increasing QoE function. We then propose a polynomial complexity algorithm based on a general QoE function, which can achieve an approximate ratio arbitrarily close to 1/2. Specifically, for a linear QoE function, we explore useful property of optimal solutions, based on which more efficient algorithms are proposed. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our solutions via both theoretical analysis and extensive simulations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
