The Internet has recently witnessed the convergence of online social network services and online video services: users import videos from content sharing sites, and propagate them along the social connections by re-sharing them. Such social…
Often we consider machine learning models or statistical analysis methods which we endeavour to alter, by introducing a randomized mechanism, to make the model conform to a differential privacy constraint. However, certain models can often…
With the exponentially increasing volume of online data, searching and finding required information have become an extensive and time-consuming task. Recommender Systems as a subclass of information retrieval and decision support systems by…
Collaborative Filtering (CF) is one of the most commonly used recommendation methods. CF consists in predicting whether, or how much, a user will like (or dislike) an item by leveraging the knowledge of the user's preferences as well as…
Personalized recommendation stands as a ubiquitous channel for users to explore information or items aligned with their interests. Nevertheless, prevailing recommendation models predominantly rely on unique IDs and categorical features for…
Massive data exist among user local platforms that usually cannot support deep neural network (DNN) training due to computation and storage resource constraints. Cloud-based training schemes provide beneficial services but suffer from…
Sequential recommendation is an advanced recommendation technique that utilizes the sequence of user behaviors to generate personalized suggestions by modeling the temporal dependencies and patterns in user preferences. However, it requires…
A successful machine learning (ML) algorithm often relies on a large amount of high-quality data to train well-performed models. Supervised learning approaches, such as deep learning techniques, generate high-quality ML functions for…
