Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is a three-level hierarchical Bayesian model for topic inference. In spite of its great success, inferring the latent topic distribution with LDA is time-consuming. Motivated by the transfer learning…
We develop a new collaborative filtering (CF) method that combines both previously known users' preferences, i.e. standard CF, as well as product/user attributes, i.e. classical function approximation, to predict a given user's interest in…
Matrix factorization (MF) is one of the most efficient methods for rating predictions. MF learns user and item representations by factorizing the user-item rating matrix. Further, textual contents are integrated to conventional MF to…
Knowledge tracing is a sequence prediction problem where the goal is to predict the outcomes of students over questions as they are interacting with a learning platform. By tracking the evolution of the knowledge of some student, one can…
Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is a prominent generative probabilistic model used for uncovering abstract topics within document collections. In this paper, we explore the effectiveness of augmenting topic models with Large Language…
Topic modeling is admittedly a convenient way to monitor markets trend. Conventionally, Latent Dirichlet Allocation, LDA, is considered a must-do model to gain this type of information. By given the merit of deducing keyword with token…
As users often express their preferences with binary behavior data~(implicit feedback), such as clicking items or buying products, implicit feedback based Collaborative Filtering~(CF) models predict the top ranked items a user might like by…
Topic models have emerged as fundamental tools in unsupervised machine learning. Most modern topic modeling algorithms take a probabilistic view and derive inference algorithms based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) or its variants. In…
In latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), topics are multinomial distributions over the entire vocabulary. However, the vocabulary usually contains many words that are not relevant in forming the topics. We adopt a variable selection method…
Matrix factorization is a widely adopted recommender system technique that fits scalar rating values by dot products of user feature vectors and item feature vectors. However, the formulation of matrix factorization as a scalar fitting…
Online reviews provided by consumers are a valuable asset for e-Commerce platforms, influencing potential consumers in making purchasing decisions. However, these reviews are of varying quality, with the useful ones buried deep within a…
Model-based approaches to recommendation can recommend items with a very high level of accuracy. Unfortunately, even when the model embeds content-based information, if we move to a latent space we miss references to the actual semantics of…
Factorization machines (FMs) are a powerful tool for regression and classification in the context of sparse observations, that has been successfully applied to collaborative filtering, especially when side information over users or items is…
Collaborative filtering (CF) aims to build a model from users' past behaviors and/or similar decisions made by other users, and use the model to recommend items for users. Despite of the success of previous collaborative filtering…
Personalizing the outputs of large language models (LLMs) to align with individual user preferences is an active research area. However, previous studies have mainly focused on classification or ranking tasks and have not considered…
Movie Recommender System is widely applied in commercial environments such as NetFlix and Tubi. Classic recommender models utilize technologies such as collaborative filtering, learning to rank, matrix factorization and deep learning models…
Data often comes in the form of an array or matrix. Matrix factorization techniques attempt to recover missing or corrupted entries by assuming that the matrix can be written as the product of two low-rank matrices. In other words, matrix…
Recommendation systems and computing advertisements have gradually entered the field of academic research from the field of commercial applications. Click-through rate prediction is one of the core research issues because the prediction…
Context-aware recommendation algorithms focus on refining recommendations by considering additional information, available to the system. This topic has gained a lot of attention recently. Among others, several factorization methods were…
Feature selection is a crucial step in large-scale industrial machine learning systems, directly affecting model accuracy, efficiency, and maintainability. Traditional feature selection methods rely on labeled data and statistical…
