Abstract

Measuring and monitoring YouTube Quality of Experience is a challenging task, especially when dealing with cellular networks and smartphone users. Using a large-scale database of crowdsourced YouTube-QoE measurements in smartphones, we conceive multiple machine-learning models to infer different YouTube-QoE-relevant metrics and userbehavior- related metrics from network-level measurements, without requiring root access to the smartphone, video-player embedding, or any other reverse-engineering-like approaches. The dataset includes measurements from more than 360 users worldwide, spanning over the last five years. Our preliminary results suggest that QoE-based monitoring of YouTube mobile can be realized through machine learning models with high accuracy, relying only on network-related features and without accessing any higher-layer metric to perform the estimations.
