This article proposes the so-called large user interface models (LUIMs) to enable the generation of user interfaces and prediction of usability using artificial intelligence in the context of mobile applications.
Recommender systems often rely on models which are trained to maximize accuracy in predicting user preferences. When the systems are deployed, these models determine the availability of content and information to different users. The gap…
This paper focuses on extending the success of large language models (LLMs) to sequential decision making. Existing efforts either (i) re-train or finetune LLMs for decision making, or (ii) design prompts for pretrained LLMs. The former…
Conventional recommendation systems frequently fail to fully exploit the high-dimensional semantic signals inherent in multimedia content, thereby limiting the fidelity of user preference modeling. While Multimodal Large Language Models…
Cardinality estimation (CardEst) is an essential component in query optimizers and a fundamental problem in DBMS. A desired CardEst method should attain good algorithm performance, be stable to varied data settings, and be friendly to…
Recommender system is a very promising way to address the problem of overabundant information for online users. Though the information filtering for the online commercial systems received much attention recently, almost all of the previous…
Recommender systems are indispensable because they influence our day-to-day behavior and decisions by giving us personalized suggestions. Services like Kindle, Youtube, and Netflix depend heavily on the performance of their recommender…
