  • 用规则锚定神经网络潜空间,实现学习不遗忘。
  • 在3G数据上训练,跨8个新场景表现超越所有基线。
  • 提出新评估方法,真实反映策略泛化能力。

长期以来,自适应码率(ABR)将神经策略与规则系统割裂:前者擅于学习却易遗忘,后者从不学习也不遗忘。现有融合方式仅让规则外部调控神经网络。本文打破这一界限,提出神经-符号流形对齐(NSMA),将规则决策作为锚点嵌入神经策略的潜空间,使模型持续学习有效行为,同时保留规则所知的常识。为避免传统带宽统计误导,提出纹理感知泛化评估协议,通过多轨迹训练过程检验策略鲁棒性。仅在3G数据上训练的NSMA,无需微调即在4G、5G和WiFi的8个未见数据集及真实播放器上超越所有主流基线。潜空间探查与可视化验证了设计初衷。代码已公开。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

For decades, ABR has kept two kinds of intelligence apart. Neural policies learn rich behaviors yet forget them the moment the environment changes; rules never learn, and never forget. Every prior attempt to combine them has kept this separation, letting rules supervise, constrain, or override the network from outside. We dissolve the boundary itself. But no union can be trusted before it can be tested, and ABR has never known how to measure what its policies learn or forget. The field's yardstick is bandwidth statistics, and we show it misleads. Identical statistics can hide entirely different outcomes, while wildly different statistics can hide similar ones. We replace the yardstick before building the bridge, with Texture-Aware Generalization Evaluation, a protocol that judges a policy by its whole training journey across traces whose temporal nature is laid bare. What truly breaks a policy is invisible. No statistic reveals it, no feature extracts it, yet rules walk through it untouched, for they reason from physics and owe the data nothing. So we build the bridge. Neuro-Symbolic Manifold Alignment (NSMA) embeds rule decisions as anchors inside the latent space of the neural policy, so that it keeps learning where learning pays, and can no longer forget what rules have always known. Generalization cannot be argued, only survived. We raise NSMA on 3G traces alone and release it, without fine-tuning, into eight unseen datasets spanning 4G, 5G, and WiFi, and onto a real-world player. It outperforms every state-of-the-art baseline. And when we open its latent space to ask why, probing and visualization return the same answer the design promised. https://tinyzqh.github.io/NSMA/
