Learning a QoE Metric from Social Media and Gaming Footage

Aikaterini Argyraki, Catalina Paz Alvarez Inostroza

Defining a universal metric for Quality of Experience (QoE) is notoriously hard due to the complex relationship between low-level performance metrics and user satisfaction. The most common metric, the Mean Opinion Score (MOS), has well-known biases and inc ...

Caching and Neutrality

Aikaterini Argyraki, Pavlos Nikolopoulos, Muhammad Abdullah

We are used to defining network neutrality as absence of traffic differentiation, like policing or shaping. These mechanisms, however, are often not what determines end-users’ quality of experience (QoE). Most content today is accessed through edge caches, ...
