用户体验质量(QoE)预测是现代多媒体系统的关键,尤其在5G自适应视频流中至关重要。准确的QoE估计支持智能化资源管理与以用户为中心的服务交付。现有方法依赖有限数据集且假设用户感知一致,难以适应真实世界的异构环境。本文提出一种基于人口统计的机器学习框架,用于个性化QoE预测。通过行为合理的人口统计数据增强策略,将小规模QoE数据集扩增六倍,模拟不同用户对卡顿、码率波动和画质下降的敏感度差异。利用扩增数据,评估经典机器学习模型及先进深度学习架构,包括基于注意力的MLP和TabNet。实验结果表明,各项指标(RMSE、MAE、R)均显著优于基线模型。其中,TabNet表现最优,得益于其特征选择与注意力机制。结果证实,人口统计增强可显著提升预测鲁棒性,为5G视频流中的个性化QoE智能提供可扩展路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Quality of Experience (QoE) prediction is a critical component of modern multimedia systems, particularly for adaptive video streaming in 5G networks. Accurate QoE estimation enables intelligent resource management and supports user centric service delivery. Existing QoE prediction approaches primarily rely on limited datasets and assume uniform user perception, which restricts their applicability in heterogeneous real world environments. This paper proposes a demographic aware machine learning framework for personalized QoE prediction. We introduce a behaviorally realistic demographic based data augmentation strategy that expands a small QoE dataset six fold by modeling varying user sensitivities to streaming impairments such as rebuffering, bitrate variation, and quality degradation. Using the augmented dataset, we evaluate a comprehensive set of classical machine learning models alongside advanced deep learning architectures, including an attention-based MLP and TabNet. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in prediction accuracy across RMSE, MAE, and R metrics compared to baseline models. Among all evaluated approaches, TabNet achieves the strongest performance, benefiting from its inherent feature selection and attention mechanisms. The results confirm that demographic-aware augmentation substantially enhances QoE prediction robustness and provides a scalable direction for personalized QoE-aware intelligence in 5G video streaming networks.
