Now that everyone can easily record videos, the quantity of which is continuously increasing, research on methods for improved video retrieval is important in the contemporary world. In cases where target videos are to be identified within…
Traditional recommendation systems represent user preferences in dense representations obtained through black-box encoder models. While these models often provide strong recommendation performance, they lack interpretability for users,…
Autoregressive (AR) models have demonstrated impressive capabilities in generating high-fidelity music. However, the conventional next-token prediction paradigm in AR models does not align with the human creative process in music…
Joint caching and recommendation has been recently proposed for increasing the efficiency of mobile edge caching. While previous works assume collaboration between mobile network operators and content providers (who control the…
Music generation aims to create music segments that align with human aesthetics based on diverse conditional information. Despite advancements in generating music from specific textual descriptions (e.g., style, genre, instruments), the…
Users are able to access millions of songs through music streaming services like Spotify, Pandora, and Deezer. Access to such large catalogs, created a need for relevant song recommendations. However, user preferences are highly subjective…
Music recommendation services collectively spin billions of songs for millions of listeners on a daily basis. Users can typically listen to a variety of songs tailored to their personal tastes and preferences. Music is not the only type of…
Multimedia content is of predominance in the modern Web era. Investigating how users interact with multimodal items is a continuing concern within the rapid development of recommender systems. The majority of previous work focuses on…
Micro-video recommendation aims to capture user preferences from the collaborative and context information of the interacted micro-videos, thereby predicting the appropriate videos. This target is often hindered by the inherent noise within…
We propose a visually conditioned music remixing system by incorporating deep visual and audio models. The method is based on a state of the art audio-visual source separation model which performs music instrument source separation with…
Recommender systems have become integral to our digital experiences, from online shopping to streaming platforms. Still, the rationale behind their suggestions often remains opaque to users. While some systems employ a graph-based approach,…
Reranking is a critical component of modern retrieval systems, which typically pair an efficient first-stage retriever with a more expressive model to refine results. While large reasoning models have driven rapid progress in text-centric…
Emerging short-video platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and ShareChat present unique challenges for recommender systems, primarily originating from a continuous stream of new content. ShareChat alone receives approximately 2 million…
Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled the development of Video-LLMs, advancing multimodal learning by bridging video data with language tasks. However, current video understanding models struggle with processing long…
Personalized recommendation stands as a ubiquitous channel for users to explore information or items aligned with their interests. Nevertheless, prevailing recommendation models predominantly rely on unique IDs and categorical features for…
Question Answering (QA) systems have traditionally relied on structured text data, but the rapid growth of multimedia content (images, audio, video, and structured metadata) has introduced new challenges and opportunities for…
Most conversational recommendation approaches are either not explainable, or they require external user's knowledge for explaining or their explanations cannot be applied in real time due to computational limitations. In this work, we…
Recommender systems have become the dominant means of curating cultural content, significantly influencing individual cultural experience. Since recommender systems tend to optimize for personalized user experience, they can overlook…
Short video streaming systems such as TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, etc., have reached billions of active users worldwide. At the core of such systems are (proprietary) recommendation algorithms which recommend a sequence of…
Recommender systems have become the dominant means of curating cultural content, significantly influencing the nature of individual cultural experience. While the majority of research on recommender systems optimizes for personalized user…
