In a practical recommender system, new interactions are continuously observed. Some interactions are expected, because they largely follow users' long-term preferences. Some other interactions are indications of recent trends in user…

Stacking-based deep neural network (S-DNN), in general, denotes a deep neural network (DNN) resemblance in terms of its very deep, feedforward network architecture. The typical S-DNN aggregates a variable number of individually learnable…

Social recommendation is effective in improving the recommendation performance by leveraging social relations from online social networking platforms. Social relations among users provide friends' information for modeling users' interest in…

Over the past decade, Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) have shown remarkable performance in most computer vision tasks. These tasks traditionally use a fixed dataset, and the model, once trained, is deployed as is. Adding new…

Attention is typically used to select informative sub-phrases that are used for prediction. This paper investigates the novel use of attention as a form of feature augmentation, i.e, casted attention. We propose Multi-Cast Attention…

Visual attention is a fundamental mechanism in the human brain, and it inspires the design of attention mechanisms in deep neural networks. However, most of the visual attention studies adopted eye-tracking data rather than the direct…

We exploit the core-periphery structure and the strong homophilic properties of online social networks to develop faster and more accurate algorithms for user interest prediction. The core of modern social networks consists of relatively…

In daily fantasy sports (DFS), match participation is highly time-sensitive. Users must act within a narrow window before a game begins, making match recommendation a time-critical task to prevent missed engagement and revenue loss.…

Session-based recommendation aims to predict items that an anonymous user would like to purchase based on her short behavior sequence. The current approaches towards session-based recommendation only focus on modeling users' interest…

User behavior modeling is a key technique for recommender systems. However, most methods focus on head users with large-scale interactions and hence suffer from data sparsity issues. Several solutions integrate side information such as…

Click-through rate (CTR) prediction tasks typically estimate the probability of a user clicking on a candidate item by modeling both user behavior sequence features and the item's contextual features, where the user behavior sequence is…

Standard Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) designs rarely focus on the importance of explicitly capturing diverse features to enhance the network's performance. Instead, most existing methods follow an indirect approach of increasing or…

Capturing the evolving trends of user interest is important for both recommendation systems and advertising systems, and user behavior sequences have been successfully used in Click-Through-Rate(CTR) prediction problems. However, if the…

We study multi-turn response generation in chatbots where a response is generated according to a conversation context. Existing work has modeled the hierarchy of the context, but does not pay enough attention to the fact that words and…

The ability to anticipate the future is essential when making real time critical decisions, provides valuable information to understand dynamic natural scenes, and can help unsupervised video representation learning. State-of-art video…
