Paper Title: Offline Reinforcement Learning for Bandwidth Estimation in RTC Using a Fast Actor and Not-So-Furious Critic (🔗Link)
Submission for the 2nd Bandwidth Estimation Challenge at ACM MMSys 2024
🥈 FARC Ranked 2nd in the final challenge
Installation
Install the required Python packages
bash
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Download both testbed (🔗Link) and emulated (🔗Link) datasets from and put them into Datafolder
Split them into train and testfolders. We used 98% of the data for training and 2% for testing.
Final structure should look like this:
|-- Data
| |-- emulated_dataset
| | |-- train
| | |-- test
| |-- testbed_dataset
| | |-- train
| | |-- test
Training
To train the model, first run the train_critic.py script to train the critic model.
Once the training for the critic model is done, you can run the train_actor.py script to train the actor model.
Evaluation
To evaluate the model, run the evaluate.py script.
This will evaluate the model on the test subset of emulated dataset and save the results in the figs folder.
If you want to reproduce the figures in the paper, extract the call traces in the test-traces.zip and change the line 18 (data_dir) in eval.py to point to this folder.
This will evaluate the model on these call traces and save the figures in the figs folder.
ONNX Visualization
You can find the visualization of the ONNX model using the Netron tool below:
