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

Proof of Reifenberg theorem in metric spaces, expanding on Cheeger and Colding's work.
Cold-start PV forecasting uses synthetic histories to train time-series foundation models.
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…
SPARC tackles cold-start nodes in graphs by using spectral embeddings.
Content-based news recommendation systems need to recommend news articles based on the topics and content of articles without using user specific information. Many news articles describe the occurrence of specific events and named entities including people, places or objects. In this paper, we propose a graph traversal…

The paper investigates quantitative rigidity using Colding's monotonicity formulas for Ricci curvature.
Graph neural networks improve cold start for new items in recommender systems.
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…

Study shows rigidity for entropy minimizers in non-monotone cases.
TransCORALNet uses transformer and CORAL for supply chain credit assessment with cold start.
Self-shrinkers are the special solutions of mean curvature flow in 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.
We prove that `volume cone implies metric cone' in the setting of RCD spaces, thus generalising to this class of spaces a well known result of Cheeger-Colding valid in Ricci-limit spaces.
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…

Uniform Laplace comparison for Kähler Ricci flow on Fano manifolds.
FAB-COST improves cold-start recommendation accuracy with less data.
We construct Colding-Minicozzi limit minimal laminations in open domains in $\rth$ with the singular set of -convergence being any properly embedded -curve. By Meeks' -regularity theorem, the singular set of convergence of a Colding-Minicozzi limit minimal lamination is a locally finit…
Study minimal surfaces in complex hyperbolic space, linking entropy and volume.
Motivated and inspired by the recent work of Colding [5] and Colding-Minicozzi [6] we derive several families of monotonicity formulas for manifolds with nonnegative Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature, extending the formulas in [5, 6].
New algorithm reduces cold-start costs in multi-armed bandits for many products.
In recommender systems, cold-start issues are situations where no previous events, e.g. ratings, are known for certain users or items. In this paper, we focus on the item cold-start problem. Both content information (e.g. item attributes) and initial user ratings are valuable for seizing users' preferences on a new ite…

Study self shrinkers with medium entropy in 4D space.
We prove topological sphere theorems for RCD(n-1, n) spaces which generalize Colding's results and Petersen's result to the RCD setting. We also get an improved sphere theorem in the case of Einstein stratified spaces.
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 is to extend the Cheeger-Colding Theory to the class of conic Kahler-Einstein metrics. This extension provides a technical tool for [LTW] in which we prove a version of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture for Fano varieties with certain singularity.
We use the Dong-Sogge-Zelditch formula to obtain a lower bound for the volume of the nodal sets of eigenfunctions. Our result improves the recent results of Sogge-Zelditch and in dimensions n \leq 5 gives a new proof for the lower bounds of Colding-Minicozzi.
Restricted Boltzman Machines (RBMs) have been successfully used in recommender systems. However, as with most of other collaborative filtering techniques, it cannot solve cold start problems for there is no rating for a new item. In this paper, we first apply conditional RBM (CRBM) which could take extra information in…
Memory-Augmented Meta-Optimization improves cold-start recommendation.
Providing long-range forecasts is a fundamental challenge in time series modeling, which is only compounded by the challenge of having to form such forecasts when a time series has never previously been observed. The latter challenge is the time series version of the cold-start problem seen in recommender systems which…

High-dimensional unimodal distributions can cause MCMC methods to fail.
Cold-start is a very common and still open problem in the Recommender Systems literature. Since cold start items do not have any interaction, collaborative algorithms are not applicable. One of the main strategies is to use pure or hybrid content-based approaches, which usually yield to lower recommendation quality tha…

They help the user in accelerating the process of search while helping businesses maximize sales. Post phenomenal success in computer vision and speech recognition, deep learn…
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…
In silico drug-target interaction (DTI) prediction is an important and challenging problem in biomedical research with a huge potential benefit to the pharmaceutical industry and patients. Most existing methods for DTI prediction including deep learning models generally have binary endpoints, which could be an oversimp…
