Bayesian neural networks with data augmentation show a persistent cold posterior effect.

problem Understanding the cold posterior effect in Bayesian neural networks with data augmentation.
method Developed principled Bayesian neural networks using data augmentation, providing exact likelihoods and tight bounds.
result The cold posterior effect persists even in models incorporating data augmentation, suggesting it's not an artifact.

Playlist recommendation involves producing a set of songs that a user might enjoy. We investigate this problem in three cold-start scenarios: (i) cold playlists, where we recommend songs to form new personalised playlists for an existing user; (ii) cold users, where we recommend songs to form new playlists for a new us…

The cold posterior effect is explored through PAC-Bayes bounds for small sample sizes.

problem The cold posterior effect in approximate Bayesian inference for small datasets.
method Investigation through PAC-Bayes generalization bounds, focusing on temperature parameter λ.
result The temperature parameter λ in PAC-Bayes bounds captures the cold posterior effect.

method Detailed proof of Cheeger and Colding's result, expanding on their arguments.
result BiLipschitz version of the Reifenberg theorem in metric spaces.

We address the cold start problem in recommendation systems assuming no contextual information is available neither about users, nor items. We consider the case in which we only have access to a set of ratings of items by users. Most of the existing works consider a batch setting, and use cross-validation to tune param…

Graph neural networks improve cold start for new items in recommender systems.

problem Cold start problem for new items in recommender systems.
method Item hierarchy graphs and bespoke graph neural network architecture.
result Our method achieves better forecasting quality than state-of-the-art with comparable computational time.

The item cold-start problem seriously limits the recommendation performance of Collaborative Filtering (CF) methods when new items have either none or very little interactions. To solve this issue, many modern Internet applications propose to predict a new item's interaction from the possessing contents. However, it is…

Paper presents content-based models for game recommendation in cold start scenarios.

problem Cold start problem in game recommendation where new games and players have no historical data.
method Uses survey data to develop content-based interaction models that generalize to new games, players, and both.
result Content models outperform collaborative filtering in predicting new interactions.

Self-shrinkers are the special solutions of mean curvature flow in Rn+1\mathbf{R}^{n+1} that evolve by shrinking homothetically; they serve as singularity models for the flow. The entropy of a hypersurface introduced by Colding-Minicozzi is a Lyapunov functional for the mean curvature flow, and is fundamental to their th…

Cold posteriors in BNNs harm performance, likely due to incorrect likelihood.

problem Cold posteriors in Bayesian neural networks degrade performance.
method Developed a generative model explaining cold posteriors and matched it to the tempered likelihoods.
result Cold posteriors are a result of using the wrong likelihood for image classification datasets.

This work explores the ability of collective matrix factorization models in recommender systems to make predictions about users and items for which there is side information available but no feedback or interactions data, and proposes a new formulation with a faster cold-start prediction formula that can be used in rea…

We continue the work of [10], studying properties of digital images determined by fixed point invariants. We introduce pointed versions of invariants that were introduced in [10]. We introduce freezing sets and cold sets to show how the existence of a fixed point set for a continuous self-map restricts the map on the c…

In this paper, we study the structure of the pointed-Gromov-Hausdorff limits of sequences of Ricci shrinkers. We define a regular-singular decomposition following the work of Cheeger-Colding for manifolds with a uniform Ricci curvature lower bound, and prove that the regular part of any Ricci shrinker limit space is co…
