The film industry is one of the most popular entertainment industries and one of the biggest markets for business. Among the contributing factors to this would be the success of a movie in terms of its popularity as well as its box office…
Users on the internet usually require venues to provide better purchasing recommendations. This can be provided by a reputation system that processes ratings to provide recommendations. The rating aggregation process is a main part of…
Support Vector Regression (SVR) has achieved high performance on forecasting future behavior of random systems. However, the performance of SVR models highly depends upon the appropriate choice of SVR parameters. In this study, a novel…
We consider the problem of assessing the changing performance levels of individual students as they go through online courses. This student performance (SP) modeling problem is a critical step for building adaptive online teaching systems.…
This paper provides robust, new evidence on the causal drivers of market troughs. We demonstrate that conclusions about these triggers are critically sensitive to model specification, moving beyond restrictive linear models with a flexible…
The cloud computing industry has grown rapidly over the last decade, and with this growth there is a significant increase in demand for compute resources. Demand is manifested in the form of Virtual Machine (VM) requests, which need to be…
Trend following and momentum investing are common strategies employed by asset managers. Even though they can be helpful in the proper situations, they are limited in the sense that they work just by looking at past, as if we were driving…
Nowadays Big Data are becoming more and more important. Many sectors of our economy are now guided by data-driven decision processes. Big Data and business intelligence applications are facilitated by the MapReduce programming model while,…
The primary aim of this research was to find a model that best predicts which fallen angel bonds would either potentially rise up back to investment grade bonds and which ones would fall into bankruptcy. To implement the solution, we…
In this paper, we present DiRecGNN, an attention-enhanced entity recommendation framework for monitoring cloud services at Microsoft. We provide insights on the usefulness of this feature as perceived by the cloud service owners and lessons…
Despite high-profile successes in the field of Artificial Intelligence, machine-driven technologies still suffer important limitations, particularly for complex tasks where creativity, planning, common sense, intuition, or learning from…
This paper presents a cloud-based learning model predictive controller that integrates three interacting components: a set of agents, which must learn to perform a finite set of tasks with the minimum possible local cost; a coordinator,…
New dynamic cloud pricing options are emerging with cloud providers offering resources as a wide range of CPU frequencies and matching prices that can be switched at runtime. On the other hand, cloud providers are facing the problem of…
Personality is a psychological factor that reflects people's preferences, which in turn influences their decision-making. We hypothesize that accurate modeling of users' personalities improves recommendation systems' performance. However,…
Clouds gather a vast volume of telemetry from their networked systems which contain valuable information that can help solve many of the problems that continue to plague them. However, it is hard to extract useful information from such raw…
This project investigates factors that influence the perceived helpfulness of Amazon product reviews through machine learning techniques. After extensive feature analysis and correlation testing, we identified key metadata characteristics…
Product recommendation systems are important for major movie studios during the movie greenlight process and as part of machine learning personalization pipelines. Collaborative Filtering (CF) models have proved to be effective at powering…
People often rely on online reviews to make purchase decisions. The present work aimed to gain an understanding of a machine learning model's prediction mechanism by visualizing the effect of sentiments extracted from online hotel reviews…
Applications requiring real-time processing of large volumes of data have been the main driver for rethinking the traditional cloud, giving rise to novel cloud models. Distributed cloud (DC) is a model that allows users to dynamically…
Today's business ecosystem has become very competitive. Customer satisfaction has become a major focus for business growth. Business organizations are spending a lot of money and human resources on various strategies to understand and…
