Mobile app stores are the key distributors of mobile applications. They regularly apply vetting processes to the deployed apps. Yet, some of these vetting processes might be inadequate or applied late. The late removal of applications might…
Challenges have become the state-of-the-art approach to benchmark image analysis algorithms in a comparative manner. While the validation on identical data sets was a great step forward, results analysis is often restricted to pure ranking…
Rapid expansion of online business has engulfed the GCC region. Such expansion causes competition among business entities, causing the need to identify the factors that the customers use to choose a suitable mobile business application.…
Conversational recommender systems (CRS) enhance user experience through multi-turn interactions, yet evaluating CRS remains challenging. User simulators can provide comprehensive evaluations through interactions with CRS, but building…
The energy inefficiency of the apps can be a major issue for the app users which is discussed on App Stores extensively. Previous research has shown the importance of investigating the energy related app reviews to identify the major causes…
The growing use of supervised machine learning in research and industry has increased the need for labeled datasets. Crowdsourcing has emerged as a popular method to create data labels. However, working on large batches of tasks leads to…
Effective caching is crucial for the performance of modern-day computing systems. A key optimization problem arising in caching -- which item to evict to make room for a new item -- cannot be optimally solved without knowing the future.…
In Conversational Recommendation Systems (CRS), a user can provide feedback on recommended items at each interaction turn, leading the CRS towards more desirable recommendations. Currently, different types of CRS offer various possibilities…
Participatory sensing is a powerful paradigm which takes advantage of smartphones to collect and analyze data beyond the scale of what was previously possible. Given that participatory sensing systems rely completely on the users'…
Personalized mobile artificial intelligence applications are widely deployed, yet they are expected to infer user behavior from sparse and irregular histories under a continuously evolving spatio-temporal context. This setting induces a…
In this paper, we propose a novel social network aware approach for user association in wireless small cell networks. The proposed approach exploits social relationships between user equipments (UEs) and their physical proximity to optimize…
In recent years, there have been efforts to collect human contact traces during social events (e.g., conferences) using Bluetooth devices (e.g., mobile phones, iMotes). The results of these studies have enabled the ability to do the…
We report an improvements to NeurIPS 2023 HomeRobot: Open Vocabulary Mobile Manipulation (OVMM) Challenge reinforcement learning baseline. More specifically, we propose more accurate semantic segmentation module, along with better place…
In this paper we present the first population-level, city-scale analysis of application usage on smartphones. Using deep packet inspection at the network operator level, we obtained a geo-tagged dataset with more than 6 million unique…
The emergence of multiple sensory devices on or near a human body is uncovering new dynamics of extreme edge computing. In this, a powerful and resource-rich edge device such as a smartphone or a Wi-Fi gateway is transformed into a personal…
Industrial recommendation systems (RS) rely on the multi-stage pipeline to balance effectiveness and efficiency when delivering items from a vast corpus to users. Existing RS benchmark datasets primarily focus on the exposure space, where…
Recommender Systems (RS) currently represent a fundamental tool in online services, especially with the advent of Online Social Networks (OSN). In this case, users generate huge amounts of contents and they can be quickly overloaded by…
Difficulty is one of the key drivers of player engagement and it is often one of the aspects that designers tweak most to optimise the player experience; operationalising it is, therefore, a crucial task for game development studios. A…
