Integrating human expertise into machine learning systems often reduces the role of experts to labeling oracles, a paradigm that limits the amount of information exchanged and fails to capture the nuances of human judgment. We address this…

A high-dimensional and incomplete (HDI) matrix frequently appears in various big-data-related applications, which demonstrates the inherently non-negative interactions among numerous nodes. A non-negative latent factor (NLF) model performs…
