We study the problem of making item recommendations to ephemeral groups, which comprise users with limited or no historical activities together. Existing studies target persistent groups with substantial activity history, while ephemeral…
Social recommendation has emerged as a powerful approach to enhance personalized recommendations by leveraging the social connections among users, such as following and friend relations observed in online social platforms. The fundamental…
Process mining bridges the gap between process management and data science by discovering process models using event logs derived from real-world data. Besides mandatory event attributes, additional attributes can be part of an event…
In this paper, we present a new DBMS performance benchmark that can simulate user exploration with any specified dashboard design made of standard visualization and interaction components. The distinguishing feature of our SImulation-BAsed…
Click-through rate prediction plays an important role in the field of recommender system and many other applications. Existing methods mainly extract user interests from user historical behaviors. However, behavioral sequences only contain…
Far-memory systems, where applications store less-active data in more energy-efficient memory media, are increasingly adopted by data centers. However, applications are bottlenecked by on-demand data fetching from far- to local-memory. We…
Recommender systems are increasingly successful in recommending personalized content to users. However, these systems often capitalize on popular content. There is also a continuous evolution of user interests that need to be captured, but…
Personalized recommendation systems leverage deep learning models and account for the majority of data center AI cycles. Their performance is dominated by memory-bound sparse embedding operations with unique irregular memory access patterns…
The session search task aims at best serving the user's information need given her previous search behavior during the session. We propose an extended relevance model that captures the user's dynamic information need in the session. Our…
Owing to its nature of scalability and privacy by design, federated learning (FL) has received increasing interest in decentralized deep learning. FL has also facilitated recent research on upscaling and privatizing personalized…
Sequential recommender systems have recently achieved significant performance improvements with the exploitation of deep learning (DL) based methods. However, although various DL-based methods have been introduced, most of them only focus…
In recent years, \emph{search story}, a combined display with other organic channels, has become a major source of user traffic on platforms such as e-commerce search platforms, news feed platforms and web and image search platforms. The…
The research on intent-enhanced sequential recommendation algorithms focuses on how to better mine dynamic user intent based on user behavior data for sequential recommendation tasks. Various data augmentation methods are widely applied in…
Digital human recommendation system has been developed to help customers find their favorite products and is playing an active role in various recommendation contexts. How to timely catch and learn the dynamics of the preferences of the…
Pioneering efforts have verified the effectiveness of the diffusion models in exploring the informative uncertainty for recommendation. Considering the difference between recommendation and image synthesis tasks, existing methods have…
The continued improvement of large language models (LLMs) increasingly depends on eliciting high-quality, user-generated data, yet such data are costly to provide and often withheld due to privacy and effort concerns. This creates a…
Pseudo-relevance feedback (PRF) can enhance average retrieval effectiveness over a sufficiently large number of queries. However, PRF often introduces a drift into the original information need, thus hurting the retrieval effectiveness of…
Generative models such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Variational Auto-Encoders (VAEs) are widely utilized to model the generative process of user interactions. However, these generative models suffer from intrinsic…
Self-supervised learning has made unsupervised pretraining relevant again for difficult computer vision tasks. The most effective self-supervised methods involve prediction tasks based on features extracted from diverse views of the data.…
Sequential recommendation based on multi-interest framework models the user's recent interaction sequence into multiple different interest vectors, since a single low-dimensional vector cannot fully represent the diversity of user…
