Storage has become a constrained resource on smartphones. Gaming is a popular activity on mobile devices and the explosive growth in the number of games coupled with their growing size contributes to the storage crunch. Even where storage is plentiful, it takes a long time to download and install a heavy app before it …
The paper tackles carousel personalization in music streaming apps using contextual bandits.
It is widely acknowledged that addiction relapse is highly associated with spatial-temporal factors such as some specific places or time periods. Current studies suggest that those factors can be utilized for better relapse interventions, however, there is no relapse prevention application that makes use of those facto…
RL platform enhances user journeys in healthcare apps.
Study user engagement in mobile health apps for health workers in resource-poor settings.
We propose a modelling framework for the optimal selection of crypto assets. Crypto assets differ by two essential features: security (technological) and stability (governance). Investors make choices over crypto assets similarly to how they make choices by using a recommender app: the app presents each investor with a…
Smart phone apps that enable users to easily track their diets have become widespread in the last decade. This has created an opportunity to discover new insights into obesity and weight loss by analyzing the eating habits of the users of such apps. In this paper, we present diet2vec: an approach to modeling latent str…
Smartphone app diagnoses pulmonary diseases from chest X-rays.
Study how predictions affect the data they're based on, improving generalization guarantees.
Generalized linear models with nonlinear feature transformations are widely used for large-scale regression and classification problems with sparse inputs. Memorization of feature interactions through a wide set of cross-product feature transformations are effective and interpretable, while generalization requires more…
