ResLearn-XR: Residual Learning for Network Traffic and Quality-of-Experience-Aware Modeling in Extended Reality

ResLearn-XR is a residual learning framework designed to predict extended reality (XR) network traffic and estimate Quality-of-Experience (QoE) risk. It uses a two‑stage temporal learning structure: a base sequence prediction model followed by task‑specific residual components that operate in value space for traffic forecasting and in logit space for probabilistic QoE risk estimation. The framework introduces a Data Descriptor Algorithm (DDA) to convert packet‑level observables into frame‑timing‑aware descriptors and is evaluated on a newly constructed XR Traffic‑QoE dataset, achieving significant reductions in SMAPE for both traffic prediction and QoE‑risk estimation compared to single‑stage baselines.

Beyond Measurement Metrics: A Human-Centered Framework for Semantic Validation of Network Traffic Classification

The paper proposes a human-centered framework for validating the semantic soundness of machine learning models used in network traffic classification. It extends existing knowledge-generation methods by integrating data, models, explainability tools, visualizations, and expert reasoning to iteratively explore, verify, and refine model behavior and preprocessing steps. The framework is built on literature findings, benchmark analyses, XAI experience, and expert feedback, offering practical guidance for ensuring models learn trustworthy, semantically meaningful patterns rather than spurious correlations.

Robust Federated Learning Under Real-World Client Churn

arXiv:2607. 06979v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) enables training shared models on private, on-device data, but production deployments remain constrained to slow, multi-day refresh cycles due to the complexity of coordinating massive client populations.
