Preference elicitation plays a central role in interactive recommender systems. Most preference elicitation approaches use either item queries that ask users to select preferred items from a slate, or attribute queries that ask them to…

In the last years, a growing number of challenging applications in navigation, logistics, and tourism were modeled as orienteering problems. This problem has been proposed in relation to a sport race where certain control points must be…

Individual investors are now massively using online brokers to trade stocks with convenient interfaces and low fees, albeit losing the advice and personalization traditionally provided by full-service brokers. We frame the problem faced by…

Recently, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have been applied to the problem of Cold-Start Recommendation, but the training performance of these models is hampered by the extreme sparsity in warm user purchase behavior. In this paper…

In a dynamic matching market, such as a marriage or job market, how should agents balance accepting a proposed match with the cost of continuing their search? We consider this problem in a discrete setting, in which agents have cardinal…

Personalization and recommendations are now accepted as core competencies in just about every online setting, ranging from media platforms to e-commerce to social networks. While the challenge of estimating user preferences has garnered…

When a user connects to the Internet to fulfill his needs, he often encounters a huge amount of related information. Recommender systems are the techniques for massively filtering information and offering the items that users find them…

Recommender systems attempts to identify and recommend the most preferable item (product-service) to an individual user. These systems predict user interest in items based on related items, users, and the interactions between items and…

Recommending playlists to users in the context of a digital music service is a difficult task because a playlist is often more than the mere sum of its parts. We present a novel method for generating playlist embeddings that are invariant…

The recent emergence of extreme climate events has significantly raised awareness about sustainable living. In addition to developing energy-saving materials and technologies, existing research mainly relies on traditional methods that…

Making personalized recommendation for cold-start users, who only have a few interaction histories, is a challenging problem in recommendation systems. Recent works leverage hypernetworks to directly map user interaction histories to…

Modern recommender systems may output considerably different recommendations due to small perturbations in the training data. Changes in the data from a single user will alter the recommendations as well as the recommendations of other…

Streaming services use recommender systems to surface the right music to users. Playlists are a popular way to present music in a list-like fashion, ie as a plain list of songs. An alternative are tours, where the songs alternate segues,…

Recommender systems apply data mining techniques and prediction algorithms to predict users' interest on information, products and services among the tremendous amount of available items. The vast growth of information on the Internet as…

Modern recommendation systems ought to benefit by probing for and learning from delayed feedback. Research has tended to focus on learning from a user's response to a single recommendation. Such work, which leverages methods of supervised…

Recommendation systems are present in multiple contexts as e-commerce, websites, and media streaming services. As scenarios get more complex, techniques and tools have to consider a number of variables. When recommending services/products…

Most current recommender systems used the historical behaviour data of user to predict user' preference. However, it is difficult to recommend items to new users accurately. To alleviate this problem, existing user cold start methods either…

The problem of mobile sequential recommendation is presented to suggest a route connecting some pick-up points for a taxi driver so that he/she is more likely to get passengers with less travel cost. Essentially, a key challenge of this…

Recommender systems (RSs) have emerged as very useful tools to help customers with their decision-making process, find items of their interest, and alleviate the information overload problem. There are two different lines of approaches in…

Recommender systems help users deal with information overload by providing tailored item suggestions to them. The recommendation of news is often considered to be challenging, since the relevance of an article for a user can depend on a…
