Sentiment analysis provides a useful overview of customer review contents. Many review websites allow a user to enter a summary in addition to a full review. Intuitively, summary information may give additional benefit for review sentiment…
Negative user preference is an important context that is not sufficiently utilized by many existing recommender systems. This context is especially useful in scenarios where the cost of negative items is high for the users. In this work, we…
Recommender systems have become an essential tool for providers and users of online services and goods, especially with the increased use of the Internet to access information and purchase products and services. This work proposes a novel…
Interest in online rating data has increased in recent years in which ordinal ratings of products or local businesses are provided by users of a website, such as Yelp or Amazon. One source of heterogeneity in ratings is that users apply…
When a user finds an interesting recommendation in a recommender system, the user may want to recall related items recommended in the past to reconsider or to enjoy them again. If the system can pick up such "recalled" items at each user's…
Meta-learning approaches have shown great success in vision and language domains. However, few studies discuss the practice of meta-learning for large-scale industrial applications. Although e-commerce companies have spent many efforts on…
This paper provides an introduction to Double/Debiased Machine Learning (DML). DML is a general approach to performing inference about a target parameter in the presence of nuisance functions: objects that are needed to identify the target…
The success of deep active learning hinges on the choice of an effective acquisition function, which ranks not yet labeled data points according to their expected informativeness. Many acquisition functions are (partly) based on the…
Capturing users' precise preferences is of great importance in various recommender systems (eg., e-commerce platforms), which is the basis of how to present personalized interesting product lists to individual users. In spite of significant…
Learning to rank with biased click data is a well-known challenge. A variety of methods has been explored to debias click data for learning to rank such as click models, result interleaving and, more recently, the unbiased learning-to-rank…
While non-parametric models, such as neural networks, are sufficient in the load forecasting, separate estimates of fixed and shiftable loads are beneficial to a wide range of applications such as distribution system operational planning,…
In online review sites, the analysis of user feedback for assessing its helpfulness for decision-making is usually carried out by locally studying the properties of individual reviews. However, global properties should be considered as well…
We study a model of user decision-making in the context of recommender systems via numerical simulation. Our model provides an explanation for the findings of Nguyen, et. al (2014), where, in environments where recommender systems are…
Users' reviews contain valuable information which are not taken into account in most recommender systems. According to the latest studies in this field, using review texts could not only improve the performance of recommendation, but it can…
Deep neural network models represent the state-of-the-art methodologies for natural language processing. Here we build on top of these methodologies to incorporate temporal information and model how to review data changes with time.…
Click-through rate (CTR) prediction is a critical task in online advertising systems. Models like Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are simple but stateless. They consider each target ad independently and cannot directly extract useful…
The number of social images has exploded by the wide adoption of social networks, and people like to share their comments about them. These comments can be a description of the image, or some objects, attributes, scenes in it, which are…
The emerging technique of deep learning has been widely applied in many different areas. However, when adopted in a certain specific domain, this technique should be combined with domain knowledge to improve efficiency and accuracy. In…
Various work has suggested that the memorability of an image is consistent across people, and thus can be treated as an intrinsic property of an image. Using computer vision models, we can make specific predictions about what people will…
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed via public-facing interfaces to interact with millions of users, each with diverse preferences. Despite this, preference tuning of LLMs predominantly relies on reward models trained…
