Abstract
The boom of video streaming industry has resulted in the increasing demands for transcoding services from heterogeneous users. Recent advances of blockchain technology allow some startups to realize decentralized collaborative transcoding through device-to-device (D2D) networks, where a group of transcoders are selected to perform transcoding cooperatively. For the blockchain-enabled D2D transcoding systems, it's imperative to jointly design transcoder selection, task scheduling and resource allocation schemes in order to provide efficient and trustworthy transcoding services. In this paper, viewing the involved multi-dimensional complex factors and channel fluctuation, we propose a novel deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based transcoder selection framework for blockchain enabled D2D transcoding systems where both the platform dynamics and channel statistics are captured. To reduce the action space size, we adopt a two-stage decision approach to first select the transcoders through a normal DRL based framework and then obtain the optimal task scheduling, power control, and resource allocation scheme by solving a stochastic optimization problem with the constrained stochastic successive convex approximation (CSSCA) approach. Simulation results show that our proposed framework can achieve high transcoding revenue while meeting the quality of service (QoS) requirements, and it can well handle dynamic cases.

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
