Abstract(in English) With wide deployment of video platforms on which users can upload their generating videos, such as YouTube and niconico, User-Generated Content (UGC) has been attracting a lot of attention. UGC is reported to have different characteristics of popularity from commercial video delivery services such as Netflix and Hulu. Popularity of some UGC has a tendency of short-term temporal variation. This feature degrades the performance of caching methods such as widely deployed LRU. New caching methods taking account of manually analyzed viewing tendency of UGCs have been proposed. Viewing tendencies are generally quite different for platforms, regions and times. It is difficult to respond to these diverse UGC dynamics in these existing proposals because of complexity of manual analysis of viewing tendency and manual tuning of caching strategy. In this paper, we newly propose a machine learning approach for caching policy for UGCs. In our approach, cache hit ratio of the content is predicted and caching policy is designed by using this predicted cache hit ratio. Our performance evaluation results using YouTube traces show that our proposed method can improve cache performance when compared with several conventional approaches.
