In this work, we propose different variants of the self-attention based network for emotion prediction from movies, which we call AttendAffectNet. We take both audio and video into account and incorporate the relation among multiple…
In the contemporary film industry, accurately predicting a movie's earnings is paramount for maximizing profitability. This project aims to develop a machine learning model for predicting movie earnings based on input features like the…
Sequential recommendation systems that model dynamic preferences based on a use's past behavior are crucial to e-commerce. Recent studies on these systems have considered various types of information such as images and texts. However,…
Sequential recommendation demonstrates the capability to recommend items by modeling the sequential behavior of users. Traditional methods typically treat users as sequences of items, overlooking the collaborative relationships among them.…
Factorization methods for recommender systems tend to represent users as a single latent vector. However, user behavior and interests may change in the context of the recommendations that are presented to the user. For example, in the case…
In today's world, abundant digital content like e-books, movies, videos and articles are available for consumption. It is daunting to review everything accessible and decide what to watch next. Consequently, digital media providers want to…
In the majority of executive domains, a notion of normality is involved in most strategic decisions. However, few data-driven tools that support strategic decision-making are available. We introduce and extend the use of autoencoders to…
Recommender systems generally optimises user engagement, but this approach is dangerous in mental health contexts. When vulnerable users show signs of suicidal ideation, standard algorithms often trap them in echo chambers of harmful…
Recommender systems rely heavily on the predictive accuracy of the learning algorithm. Most work on improving accuracy has focused on the learning algorithm itself. We argue that this algorithmic focus is myopic. In particular, since…
A huge amount of user generated content related to movies is created with the popularization of web 2.0. With these continues exponential growth of data, there is an inevitable need for recommender systems as people find it difficult to…
Recommender system is one of the most critical technologies for large internet companies such as Amazon and TikTok. Although millions of users use recommender systems globally everyday, and indeed, much data analysis work has been done to…
The goal of recommendation is to show users items that they will like. Though usually framed as a prediction, the spirit of recommendation is to answer an interventional question---for each user and movie, what would the rating be if we…
Recommender systems leverage both content and user interactions to generate recommendations that fit users' preferences. The recent surge of interest in deep learning presents new opportunities for exploiting these two sources of…
Information technology has spread widely, and extraordinarily large amounts of data have been made accessible to users, which has made it challenging to select data that are in accordance with user needs. For the resolution of the above…
Information retrieval systems, such as online marketplaces, news feeds, and search engines, are ubiquitous in today's digital society. They facilitate information discovery by ranking retrieved items on predicted relevance, i.e. likelihood…
Sequential Recommender Systems (SRSs) are a popular type of recommender system that learns from a user's history to predict the next item they are likely to interact with. However, user interactions can be affected by noise stemming from…
Recommender systems are crucial tools to overcome the information overload brought about by the Internet. Rigorous tests are needed to establish to what extent sophisticated methods can improve the quality of the predictions. Here we…
Learning to rank with implicit feedback is one of the most important tasks in many real-world information systems where the objective is some specific utility, e.g., clicks and revenue. However, we point out that existing methods based on…
Sequential recommendation models aim to learn from users evolving preferences. However, current state-of-the-art models suffer from an inherent popularity bias. This study developed a novel framework, BiCoRec, that adaptively accommodates…
Stories can have tremendous power -- not only useful for entertainment, they can activate our interests and mobilize our actions. The degree to which a story resonates with its audience may be in part reflected in the emotional journey it…
