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

Read the original on arXiv AI →

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.

RiskTraf: Risk-Extrapolated Residual Learning for Multi-Variate Traffic Flow Prediction

RiskTraf introduces a risk-extrapolated residual learning approach for multi-variate traffic flow prediction, leveraging raw flow, speed, and occupancy data from the new PEMSB-3V benchmark. The method freezes a trained spatio-temporal backbone and adds a lightweight residual head that learns from historical speed and occupancy to correct flow predictions across different traffic regimes. Experiments show consistent improvements over various backbones and outperform existing debiasing and distribution-shift adaptation techniques.

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.
