Modern recommendation systems can be broadly divided into two key stages: the ranking stage, where the system predicts various user engagements (e.g., click-through rate, like rate, follow rate, watch time), and the value model stage, which…
When approaching a clustering problem, choosing the right clustering algorithm and parameters is essential, as each clustering algorithm is proficient at finding clusters of a particular nature. Due to the unsupervised nature of clustering…
For many machine learning algorithms, predictive performance is critically affected by the hyperparameter values used to train them. However, tuning these hyperparameters can come at a high computational cost, especially on larger datasets,…
Index plays an essential role in modern database engines to accelerate the query processing. The new paradigm of "learned index" has significantly changed the way of designing index structures in DBMS. The key insight is that indexes could…
Large language models (LLMs) fine-tuning shows excellent implications. However, vanilla fine-tuning methods often require intricate data mixture and repeated experiments for optimal generalization. To address these challenges and streamline…
Although railway dispatching on large national networks is gradually becoming more computerized, there are still major obstacles to retrofitting (semi-)autonomous control systems. In addition to requiring extensive and detailed…
The performance of an algorithm often critically depends on its parameter configuration. While a variety of automated algorithm configuration methods have been proposed to relieve users from the tedious and error-prone task of manually…
High Performance Computing (HPC) systems rely on fixed user-provided estimates of job time limits. These estimates are often inaccurate, resulting in inefficient resource use and the loss of unsaved work if a job times out shortly before…
A natural optimization model that formulates many online resource allocation and revenue management problems is the online linear program (LP) in which the constraint matrix is revealed column by column along with the corresponding…
The DTW Barycenter Averaging (DBA) algorithm is a widely used algorithm for estimating the mean of a given set of point sequences. In this context, the mean is defined as a point sequence that minimises the sum of dynamic time warping…
A large-scale recommender system usually consists of recall and ranking modules. The goal of ranking modules (aka rankers) is to elaborately discriminate users' preference on item candidates proposed by recall modules. With the success of…
The increasingly wide usage of location aware sensors has made it possible to collect large volume of trajectory data in diverse application domains. Machine learning allows to study the activities or behaviours of moving objects (e.g.,…
In cloud computing paradigm, virtual resource autoscaling approaches have been intensively studied recent years. Those approaches dynamically scale in/out virtual resources to adjust system performance for saving operation cost. However,…

Continual instruction tuning enables large language models (LLMs) to learn incrementally while retaining past knowledge, whereas existing methods primarily focus on how to retain old knowledge rather than on selecting which new knowledge to…
Component-Based Development (CBD) is a popular approach to mitigating the costs of creating software systems. However, it is not clear to what extent the core component selection and adaptation activities of CBD can be implemented to…
An industrial recommender system generally presents a hybrid list that contains results from multiple subsystems. In practice, each subsystem is optimized with its own feedback data to avoid the disturbance among different subsystems.…
