Short-form UGC video platforms, like Kwai and TikTok, have been an emerging and irreplaceable mainstream media form, thriving on user-friendly engagement, and kaleidoscope creation, etc. However, the advancing content-generation modes,…

The scaling laws for recommender systems have been increasingly validated, where MetaFormer-based architectures consistently benefit from increased model depth, hidden dimensionality, and user behavior sequence length. However, whether…

Recommender systems are emerging technologies that nowadays can be found in many applications such as Amazon, Netflix, and so on. These systems help users to find relevant information, recommendations, and their preferred items. Slightly…

Recommender systems are a kind of data filtering that guides the user to interesting and valuable resources within an extensive dataset. by providing suggestions of products that are expected to match their preferences. However, due to data…

HTTP-based video streaming is a key application on the Internet today, comprising the majority of Internet traffic today. Yet customers remain dissatisfied with video quality, resulting in lost revenue for content providers. Recent studies…

Between matrix factorization or Random Walk with Restart (RWR), which method works better for recommender systems? Which method handles explicit or implicit feedback data better? Does additional information help recommendation? Recommender…

Recent studies into streaming media delivery suggest that performance gains from cache hierarchies such as Information-Centric Networks (ICNs) may be negated by Dynamic Adaptive Streaming (DAS), the de facto method for retrieving multimedia…

We present RAG Playground, an open-source framework for systematic evaluation of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. The framework implements and compares three retrieval approaches: naive vector search, reranking, and hybrid…

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has become a crucial rendering technique for many real-time applications. However, the limited hardware resources on today's mobile platforms hinder these applications, as they struggle to achieve real-time…

Short video applications like TikTok and Kwai have been a great hit recently. In order to meet the increasing demands and take full advantage of visual information in short videos, objects in each short video need to be located and analyzed…

Modern video recommendation systems aim to optimize user engagement and platform objectives, yet often face structural exposure imbalances caused by behavioral biases. In this work, we focus on the post-ranking stage and present LAFB…

Unraveling quality of experience (QoE) of video streaming is very challenging in bandwidth shared wireless networks. It is unclear how QoE metrics such as starvation probability and buffering time interact with dynamics of streaming traffic…

We propose a new algorithm for recommender systems with numeric ratings which is based on Pattern Structures (RAPS). As the input the algorithm takes rating matrix, e.g., such that it contains movies rated by users. For a target user, the…

Recommender systems typically suggest to users content similar to what they consumed in the past. If a user happens to be exposed to strongly polarized content, she might subsequently receive recommendations which may steer her towards more…

Conversational recommender systems (CRS) aim to recommend high-quality items to users through interactive conversations. Although several efforts have been made for CRS, two major issues still remain to be solved. First, the conversation…

Video caching can significantly improve backhaul traffic congestion by locally storing the popular content that users frequently request. A privacy-preserving method is desirable to learn how users' demands change over time. As such, this…

While graph-based collaborative filtering recommender systems have been introduced several years ago, there are still several shortcomings to deal with, the temporal information being one of the most important. The new link stream paradigm…

Streaming platforms, like Netflix and YouTube, strive to offer high streaming quality (SQ), in terms of bitrate, delays, etc., to their users. Meanwhile, a significant share of content consumption of these platforms is heavily influenced by…

Recommender Systems use the user's profile to generate a recommendation list with unknown items to a target user. Although the primary goal of traditional recommendation systems is to deliver the most relevant items, such an effort…

A recommender system generates personalized recommendations for a user by computing the preference score of items, sorting the items according to the score, and filtering top-K items with high scores. While sorting and ranking items are…
