Digital Twin-Assisted Collaborative Transcoding for Better User Satisfaction in Live Streaming
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a digital twin (DT)-assisted cloud-edge collaborative transcoding scheme to enhance user satisfaction in live streaming. We first present a DT-assisted transcoding workload estimation (TWE) model for the cloud-edge collaborative transcoding. Particularly, two DTs are constructed for emulating the cloud-edge collaborative transcoding process by analyzing spatial-temporal information of individual videos and transcoding configurations of transcoding queues, respectively. Two light-weight Bayesian neural networks are adopted to fit the TWE models in DTs, respectively. Moreover, we formulate a transcoding-path selection problem to maximize long-term user satisfaction within an average service delay threshold, taking the dynamics of video arrivals and video requests into account. The problem is transformed into a standard Markov decision process by using the Lyapunov optimization, which is further solved by a deep reinforcement learning algorithm. Simulation results based on the real-world dataset demonstrate that the proposed scheme can effectively enhance user satisfaction compared with benchmark schemes.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
