- Pensieve AI – MIT researchers developed new artificial intelligence that uses machine learning to select different video adjusting algorithms based on network conditions, ensuring faster video streaming and higher video quality delivery
- Algorithm Training – Used system of rewards and penalties to train Pensieve to recognize efficient buffering techniques, achieving 10-30% less rebuffering and 10-20% better video quality than other systems
- Next Improvements – Can be trained to prioritize either continuous playback over quality or quality over smoothness of videos, with researchers already testing Pensieve on streaming virtual reality content, which requires more bandwidth and high quality experience
