For our CS 244 final project, we present the recreation of two results from the paper Neural Adaptive Streaming with Pensieve. First, we present a recreation of Figure 11, which compares Pensieve to other ABR algorithms across three different network types. Next, we present a recreation of Figure 13, which compares Pensieve algorithms trained on multiple simulated videos to Pensieve algorithms trained on a single test video. In order to gain additional insight into the robustness and flexibility of Pensieve ABR algorithms, we extended the experiments conducted by the original authors. Specifically, we tested each algorithm in Figure 11 on additional network types, and we trained and evaluated Pensieve algorithms using additional test videos beyond the lone video discussed in the original paper.
