自适应视频流系统旨在优化用户体验(QoE)以提升用户满意度。然而,用户画像和视频内容的差异导致不同用户对QoE因素的权重不同,形成个性化QoE函数,从而带来不同的优化目标。这种变化使得神经网络难以泛化,出现因目标演化导致的‘弹性损失’,阻碍传统模型的有效适应。为此,本文提出塑性感知的专家混合模型(PA-MoE),通过动态调节网络弹性,在保留记忆的同时实现选择性遗忘。具体而言,利用噪声注入促进过时知识的遗忘,赋予神经网络更强的适应能力。此外,我们推导了PA-MoE的后悔界,从理论上量化其学习性能。实验表明,在动态流媒体环境下,PA-MoE相比基线方法提升QoE达45.5%。进一步分析显示,该模型通过优化神经元利用率有效缓解了弹性损失。最后,通过引入不同强度的噪声进行参数敏感性分析,结果与理论预测高度一致。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Adaptive video streaming systems are designed to optimize Quality of Experience (QoE) and, in turn, enhance user satisfaction. However, differences in user profiles and video content lead to different weights for QoE factors, resulting in user-specific QoE functions and, thus, varying optimization objectives. This variability poses significant challenges for neural networks, as they often struggle to generalize under evolving targets - a phenomenon known as plasticity loss that prevents conventional models from adapting effectively to changing optimization objectives. To address this limitation, we propose the Plasticity-Aware Mixture of Experts (PA-MoE), a novel learning framework that dynamically modulates network plasticity by balancing memory retention with selective forgetting. In particular, PA-MoE leverages noise injection to promote the selective forgetting of outdated knowledge, thereby endowing neural networks with enhanced adaptive capabilities. In addition, we present a rigorous theoretical analysis of PA-MoE by deriving a regret bound that quantifies its learning performance. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that PA-MoE achieves a 45.5% improvement in QoE over competitive baselines in dynamic streaming environments. Further analysis reveals that the model effectively mitigates plasticity loss by optimizing neuron utilization. Finally, a parameter sensitivity study is performed by injecting varying levels of noise, and the results align closely with our theoretical predictions.
