NAS model improves social recommendation accuracy using neural attention.

problem Capturing and weighing friends' preferences in social recommendation systems.
method Proposes a Neural Attention mechanism (NAS) for Social collaborative filtering.
result NAS model outperforms state-of-the-art methods in publicly available datasets.

Each market has its singular characteristic. Its inner structure is directly responsible for the observed distributions of returns though this fact is widely overlooked. Big orders lead to doubling the tails. The behavior of a market maker with many or few ``friends'' who can reliably loan money or stock to him is quit…

Reward collapse occurs when ranking-based reward models yield uniform rewards for different prompts.

problem Reward collapse in aligning large language models with human preferences.
method Introduced a prompt-aware optimization scheme to derive closed-form expressions for reward distributions.
result Our prompt-aware utility functions significantly alleviate reward collapse during training.

We consider nonparametric estimation of L2L_2, Renyi-αα and Tsallis-αα divergences between continuous distributions. Our approach is to construct estimators for particular integral functionals of two densities and translate them into divergence estimators. For the integral functionals, our estimators are based on cor…

Framework infers coordination strategies from movement data.

problem Inferring individual movement strategies from group data.
method Formalizes Coordination Strategy Inference Problem; provides methodology to infer strategies.
result Framework accurately infers strategies in simulated and real-world datasets.

This paper considers stochastic bandits with side observations, a model that accounts for both the exploration/exploitation dilemma and relationships between arms. In this setting, after pulling an arm i, the decision maker also observes the rewards for some other actions related to i. We will see that this model is su…

Suppose kk centers are fit to mm points by heuristically minimizing the kk-means cost; what is the corresponding fit over the source distribution? This question is resolved here for distributions with p4p\geq 4 bounded moments; in particular, the difference between the sample cost and distribution cost decays with $…

Learning to cooperate with friends and compete with foes is a key component of multi-agent reinforcement learning. Typically to do so, one requires access to either a model of or interaction with the other agent(s). Here we show how to learn effective strategies for cooperation and competition in an asymmetric informat…

result Achieves sublinear memory performance on stable queries, reporting nearest neighbors efficiently.

Networks capture our intuition about relationships in the world. They describe the friendships between Facebook users, interactions in financial markets, and synapses connecting neurons in the brain. These networks are richly structured with cliques of friends, sectors of stocks, and a smorgasbord of cell types that go…

Combining logic and probability has been a long stand- ing goal of AI research. Markov Logic Networks (MLNs) achieve this by attaching weights to formulas in first-order logic, and can be seen as templates for constructing features for ground Markov networks. Most techniques for learning weights of MLNs are domain-size…

How can we correlate neural activity in the human brain as it responds to words, with behavioral data expressed as answers to questions about these same words? In short, we want to find latent variables, that explain both the brain activity, as well as the behavioral responses. We show that this is an instance of the C…

On many social networking web sites such as Facebook and Twitter, resharing or reposting functionality allows users to share others' content with their own friends or followers. As content is reshared from user to user, large cascades of reshares can form. While a growing body of research has focused on analyzing and c…
