This paper investigates the parameter space of machine learning (ML) algorithms in aggravating or mitigating fairness bugs. Data-driven software is increasingly applied in social-critical applications where ensuring fairness is of paramount…

Recently, real-world recommendation systems need to deal with millions of candidates. It is extremely challenging to conduct sophisticated end-to-end algorithms on the entire corpus due to the tremendous computation costs. Therefore,…

Click-through prediction (CTR) models transform features into latent vectors and enumerate possible feature interactions to improve performance based on the input feature set. Therefore, when selecting an optimal feature set, we should…

Problem solving is a composite cognitive process, invoking a number of cognitive mechanisms, such as perception and memory. Individuals may form collectives to solve a given problem together in collaboration, especially when complexity is…

Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have recently enabled a popular class of algorithms for collaborative filtering (CF). Nevertheless, the theoretical underpinnings of their empirical successes remain elusive. In this paper, we endeavor to…

When using machine learning to aid decision-making, it is critical to ensure that an algorithmic decision is fair and does not discriminate against specific individuals/groups, particularly those from underprivileged populations. Existing…

In this paper, we propose a graph classification approach for automatically determining whether to use a monolithic or a decomposition-based solution method. In this approach, an optimization problem is represented as a graph that captures…

This survey provides an examination of the use of Deep Neural Networks (DNN) in Collaborative Filtering (CF) recommendation systems. As the digital world increasingly relies on data-driven approaches, traditional CF techniques face…

The purpose of this article is to introduce a new iterative algorithm with properties resembling real life bipartite graphs. The algorithm enables us to generate wide range of random bigraphs, which features are determined by a set of…

Collaborative Filtering (CF) is one of the most commonly used recommendation methods. CF consists in predicting whether, or how much, a user will like (or dislike) an item by leveraging the knowledge of the user's preferences as well as…

Accuracy is the most important parameter among few others which defines the effectiveness of a machine learning algorithm. Higher accuracy is always desirable. Now, there is a vast number of well established learning algorithms already…

Collaborative filtering (CF) is a popular technique in today's recommender systems, and matrix approximation-based CF methods have achieved great success in both rating prediction and top-N recommendation tasks. However, real-world…

Feature selection is an important process in machine learning and knowledge discovery. By selecting the most informative features and eliminating irrelevant ones, the performance of learning algorithms can be improved and the extraction of…

Cognitive diagnosis is an essential research topic in intelligent education, aimed at assessing the level of mastery of different skills by students. So far, many research works have used deep learning models to explore the complex…

Existing multiplex graph models often assume homophily, where connected nodes tend to belong to the same class or share similar attributes. Consequently, these models may struggle with graphs exhibiting heterophily, where connected nodes…

We consider the problem of selecting $k$ seed nodes in a network to maximize the minimum probability of activation under an independent cascade beginning at these seeds. The motivation is to promote fairness by ensuring that even the least…

Research on recommender systems algorithms, like other areas of applied machine learning, is largely dominated by efforts to improve the state-of-the-art, typically in terms of accuracy measures. Several recent research works however…

In this paper, we study collaborative filtering in an interactive setting, in which the recommender agents iterate between making recommendations and updating the user profile based on the interactive feedback. The most challenging problem…

Random graph models are widely used to understand network properties and graph algorithms. Key to such analyses are the different parameters of each model, which affect various network features, such as its size, clustering, or degree…

For modern recommender systems, the use of low-dimensional latent representations to embed users and items based on their observed interactions has become commonplace. However, many existing recommendation models are primarily designed for…
