In today's day and age when almost every industry has an online presence with users interacting in online marketplaces, personalized recommendations have become quite important. Traditionally, the problem of collaborative filtering has been tackled using Matrix Factorization which is linear in nature. We extend the wor…
This work presents a methodology to design trajectory tracking feedback control laws, which embed non-parametric statistical models, such as Gaussian Processes (GPs). The aim is to minimize unmodeled dynamics such as undesired slippages. The proposed approach has the benefit of avoiding complex terramechanics analysis …
Scheduling the transmission of time-sensitive data to multiple users over error-prone communication channels is studied with the goal of minimizing the long-term average age of information (AoI) at the users under a constraint on the average number of transmissions at the source node. After each transmission, the sourc…
Recommender systems are used in variety of domains affecting people's lives. This has raised concerns about possible biases and discrimination that such systems might exacerbate. There are two primary kinds of biases inherent in recommender systems: observation bias and bias stemming from imbalanced data. Observation b…
We develop the first general semi-bandit algorithm that simultaneously achieves O(logT) regret for stochastic environments and O(T) regret for adversarial environments without knowledge of the regime or the number of rounds T. The leading problem-dependent constants of our bounds are …
The paper improves DFA for CNN and RNN training to match BP accuracy.
problem Low accuracy in CNN and RNN training using DFA.
method Divide network into modules, apply DFA within, use sparse backward weight, and incorporate dilated convolution and sparse matrix multiplication.
result Achieves BP-level accuracy in CNN and RNN training.
The market events of 2007-2009 have reinvigorated the search for realistic return models that capture greater likelihoods of extreme movements. In this paper we model the medium-term log-return dynamics in a market with both fundamental and technical traders. This is based on a Poisson trade arrival model with variable…
In this work we present a new approach on studying dynamical systems. Combining the two ways of expressing the uncertainty, using probabilistic theory and credibility theory, we have research the generalized fractional hybrid equations. We have introduced the concepts of generalized fractional Wiener process, generaliz…
We explore hybrid subgroups of certain non-arithmetic lattices in PU(2,1). We show that all of Mostow's lattices are virtually hybrids; moreover, we show that some of these non-arithmetic lattices are hybrids of two non-commensurable arithmetic lattices in PU(1,1).
New method learns from either positive or negative feedback alone.
problem Limited applicability of existing preference optimization methods in scenarios with only unpaired feedback.
method Decouples learning from positive and negative feedback, using expectation-maximization (EM) to optimize probability of positive outcomes and explicitly incorporate negative examples.
result Stable learning from negative feedback alone demonstrated.
User preferences for items can be inferred from either explicit feedback, such as item ratings, or implicit feedback, such as rental histories. Research in collaborative filtering has concentrated on explicit feedback, resulting in the development of accurate and scalable models. However, since explicit feedback is oft…
In the present paper, a fuzzy logic based method is combined with wavelet decomposition to develop a step-by-step dynamic hybrid model for the estimation of financial time series. Empirical tests on fuzzy regression, wavelet decomposition as well as the new hybrid model are conducted on the well known SP500 index fin…
Recommender systems recommend items more accurately by analyzing users' potential interest on different brands' items. In conjunction with users' rating similarity, the presence of users' implicit feedbacks like clicking items, viewing items specifications, watching videos etc. have been proved to be helpful for learni…
