Due to the rapid advancements of sensory and computing technology, multi-modal data sources that represent the same pattern or phenomenon have attracted growing attention. As a result, finding means to explore useful information from these…
We have witnessed the discovery of many techniques for network representation learning in recent years, ranging from encoding the context in random walks to embedding the lower order connections, to finding latent space representations with…
Transformers have shown great success in learning representations for language modelling. However, an open challenge still remains on how to systematically aggregate semantic information (word embedding) with positional (or temporal)…
Searching, browsing, and recommendations are common ways in which the "choice overload" faced by users in the online marketplace can be mitigated. In this paper we propose the use of hierarchical item categories, obtained from implicit…
Designing an embedding retrieval system requires navigating a complex design space of conflicting trade-offs between efficiency and effectiveness. This work structures these decisions as a vertical traversal of the system design stack. We…
Anomaly detection to recognize unusual events in large scale systems in a time sensitive manner is critical in many industries, eg. bank fraud, enterprise systems, medical alerts, etc. Large-scale systems often grow in size and complexity…
Multi-modal recommendation has gained traction as items possess rich attributes like text and images. Semantic ID-based approaches effectively discretize this information into compact tokens. However, two challenges persist: (1) Suboptimal…
Multi-label text classification refers to the problem of assigning each given document its most relevant labels from the label set. Commonly, the metadata of the given documents and the hierarchy of the labels are available in real-world…
Personalization lies at the core of boosting the product search system performance. Prior studies mainly resorted to the semantic matching between textual queries and user/product related documents, leaving the user collaborative behaviors…
As e-commerce platforms expand their product catalogs, accurately recommending long-tail items becomes increasingly important for enhancing both user experience and platform revenue. A key challenge is the long-tail problem, where extreme…
Hierarchical classification problems are commonly seen in practice. However, most existing methods do not fully utilize the hierarchical information among class labels. In this paper, a novel label embedding approach is proposed, which…
The joint optimization of representation learning and clustering in the embedding space has experienced a breakthrough in recent years. In spite of the advance, clustering with representation learning has been limited to flat-level…
We consider the problem of retrieving and ranking items in an eCommerce catalog, often called SKUs, in order of relevance to a user-issued query. The input data for the ranking are the texts of the queries and textual fields of the SKUs…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems critically depend on retrieval quality, yet no systematic comparison of modern retrieval methods exists for heterogeneous documents containing both text and tabular data. We benchmark ten…
The burgeoning volume of multi-modal data necessitates advanced retrieval paradigms beyond unimodal and cross-modal approaches. Composed Multi-modal Retrieval (CMR) emerges as a pivotal next-generation technology, enabling users to query…
The visual system processes a scene using a sequence of selective glimpses, each driven by spatial and object-based attention. These glimpses reflect what is relevant to the ongoing task and are selected through recurrent processing and…
This paper describes a hierarchical learning strategy for generating sparse representations of multivariate datasets. The hierarchy arises from approximation spaces considered at successively finer scales. A detailed analysis of stability,…
Feature extraction and matching are among central problems of computer vision. It is inefficent to search features over all locations and scales. Neurophysiological evidence shows that to locate objects in a digital image the human visual…
Sequential recommendation aims to recommend the next item of users' interest based on their historical interactions. Recently, the self-attention mechanism has been adapted for sequential recommendation, and demonstrated state-of-the-art…
Many machine intelligence techniques are developed in E-commerce and one of the most essential components is the representation of IDs, including user ID, item ID, product ID, store ID, brand ID, category ID etc. The classical encoding…
