Abstract
Multicast short video streaming (MSVS) can effectively reduce network traffic load by delivering identical video sequences to multiple users simultaneously. The existing MSVS schemes mainly rely on the aggregated video requests to reserve bandwidth and computing resources, which cannot satisfy users' diverse and dynamic service requirements, particularly when users' swipe behaviors exhibit spatiotemporal fluctuation. In this article, we propose a user-centric resource management scheme based on the digital twin (DT) technique, which aims to enhance user satisfaction as well as reduce resource consumption. Firstly, we design a user DT (UDT)-assisted resource reservation framework. Specifically, UDTs are constructed for individual users, which store users' historical data for updating multicast groups and abstracting useful information. The swipe probability distributions and recommended video lists are abstracted from UDTs to predict bandwidth and computing resource demands. Parameterized sigmoid functions are leveraged to characterize multicast groups' user satisfaction. Secondly, we formulate a joint non-convex bandwidth and computing resource reservation problem which is transformed into a convex piecewise problem by utilizing a tangent function to approximately substitute the concave part. A low-complexity scheduling algorithm is then developed to find the optimal resource reservation decisions. Simulation results based on the real-world dataset demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms benchmark schemes in terms of user satisfaction and resource consumption.

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
