Study uses EEG and ML to predict movie ratings with 72% accuracy.
Paper classifies movie genres using multimodal data.
We propose in this paper a constructive procedure that transforms locally, even at singular configurations, the kinematics of a car towing trailers into Kumpera-Ruiz normal form. This construction converts the nonholonomic motion planning problem into an algebraic problem (the resolution of a system of polynomial equat…
For proper subsets U of {1,2,...,31} we define and construct U-regular isotopy invariants of the Carter-Rieger-Saito movies (representing knotted surfaces) and use these to show that there are ambient isotopic knotted surfaces represented by movies M1 and M2 for which movie-moves of type 31 are required to get from M1 …
We present a grid diagram analogue of Carter, Rieger and Saito's smooth movie theorem. Specifically, we give definitions for grid movies, grid movie isotopies and present a definition of grid planar isotopy as a particular subset of the grid diagram moves: stabilization, destabilization and commutation. We show that gr…
'There is no terror in the bang, only is the anticipation of it' - Alfred Hitchcock. Yet there is everything in correctly anticipating the bang a movie would make in the box-office. Movies make a high profile, billion dollar industry and prediction of movie revenue can be very lucrative. Predicted revenues can be used …
A shadow diagram is a knot diagram with under-over information omitted; a shadow movie is a sequence of shadow diagrams related by shadow Reidemeister moves. We show that not every shadow movie arises as the shadow of a Reidemeister movie, meaning a sequence of classical knot diagrams related by classical Reidemeister …
Feature extraction has gained increasing attention in the field of machine learning, as in order to detect patterns, extract information, or predict future observations from big data, the urge of informative features is crucial. The process of extracting features is highly linked to dimensionality reduction as it impli…
As more and more people shift their movie watching online, competition between movie viewing websites are getting more and more intense. Therefore, it has become incredibly important to accurately predict a given user's watching list to maximize the chances of keeping the user on the platform. Recent studies have sugge…
Study of equivariant movie moves for involutive links.
Two singular links are cobordant if one can be obtained from the other by singular link isotopy together with a combination of births or deaths of simple unknotted curves, and saddle point transformations. A movie description of a singular link cobordism in 4-space is a sequence of singular link diagrams obtained from …
GWCA analyzes cross-graph correlations for movie retrieval.
Discovering content and stories in movies is one of the most important concepts in multimedia content research studies. Network models have proven to be an efficient choice for this purpose. When an audience watches a movie, they usually compare the characters and the relationships between them. For this reason, most o…
The goal of recommendation is to show users items that they will like. Though usually framed as a prediction, the spirit of recommendation is to answer an interventional question---for each user and movie, what would the rating be if we "forced" the user to watch the movie? To this end, we develop a causal approach to …
We present a marked analogue of Carter and Saito's movie theorem. Our definition of marking was chosen to coincide with the markings that arise in link Floer homology. In order to deal with complications arising from certain isotopies, we define three equivalence relations for marked surfaces and work over an equivalen…
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…
We adapt the optimization's concept of momentum to reinforcement learning. Seeing the state-action value functions as an analog to the gradients in optimization, we interpret momentum as an average of consecutive -functions. We derive Momentum Value Iteration (MoVI), a variation of Value Iteration that incorporates …
The left-invariant sub-Riemannian problem on the Engel group is considered. The problem gives the nilpotent approximation to generic nonholonomic systems in four-dimensional space with two-dimensional control, for instance to a system which describes motion of mobile robot with a trailer. The global optimality of extre…
Consider a movie studio aiming to produce a set of new movies for summer release: What types of movies it should produce? Who would the movies appeal to? How many movies should it make? Similar issues are encountered by a variety of organizations, e.g., mobile-phone manufacturers and online magazines, who have to creat…
This project explores several Machine Learning methods to predict movie genres based on plot summaries. Naive Bayes, Word2Vec+XGBoost and Recurrent Neural Networks are used for text classification, while K-binary transformation, rank method and probabilistic classification with learned probability threshold are employe…
We generalize the notion of planar bicycle tracks -- a.k.a. one-trailer systems -- to so-called tractor/tractrix systems in general Riemannian manifolds and prove explicit expressions for the length of the ensuing tractrices and for the area of the domains that are swept out by any given tractor/tractrix system. These …
Relational probabilistic models have the challenge of aggregation, where one variable depends on a population of other variables. Consider the problem of predicting gender from movie ratings; this is challenging because the number of movies per user and users per movie can vary greatly. Surprisingly, aggregation is not…
New Lie systems derived from Goursat distributions with applications to differential equations.
The Financial Crisis of 2008 is a worldwide financial crisis causing a worldwide economic decline that is the most severe since the 1930s. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the global financial crisis gave impact on USD 3.4 trillion losses from financial institutions around the world between 2007 and …
In this paper, we study the combinatorial multi-armed bandit problem (CMAB) with probabilistically triggered arms (PTAs). Under the assumption that the arm triggering probabilities (ATPs) are positive for all arms, we prove that a class of upper confidence bound (UCB) policies, named Combinatorial UCB with exploration …
Learning visual feature representations for video analysis is a daunting task that requires a large amount of training samples and a proper generalization framework. Many of the current state of the art methods for video captioning and movie description rely on simple encoding mechanisms through recurrent neural networ…

New procedures connect braid charts, triplane diagrams, and braid movies for knotted surfaces.
Study new -contact distributions and Lie systems.
Much work has been done in understanding human creativity and defining measures to evaluate creativity. This is necessary mainly for the reason of having an objective and automatic way of quantifying creative artifacts. In this work, we propose a regression-based learning framework which takes into account quantitative…
This study's goal is to create a model of sentiment analysis on a 2000 rows IMDB movie comments and 3200 Twitter data by using machine learning and vector space techniques; positive or negative preliminary information about the text is to provide. In the study, a vector space was created in the KNIME Analytics platform…
We present 27 problems encountered in automating the translation of movie/TV show subtitles. We categorize each problem in one of the three categories viz. problems directly related to textual translation, problems related to subtitle creation guidelines, and problems due to adaptability of machine translation (MT) eng…
We show that if is a fibered ribbon knot in bounding a ribbon disk , then given an extra transversality condition the fibration on extends to a fibration of . This partially answers a question of Casson and Gordon. In particular, we show the fibration alway…
AI2V learns user representations by focusing on recent interests.
The paper extends surface link coloring theory to triplane diagrams and knots.
We use deep learning to model interactions across two or more sets of objects, such as user-movie ratings, protein-drug bindings, or ternary user-item-tag interactions. The canonical representation of such interactions is a matrix (or a higher-dimensional tensor) with an exchangeability property: the encoding's meaning…
Throughout science and technology, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and associated area under the curve (AUC) measures constitute powerful tools for assessing the predictive abilities of features, markers and tests in binary classification problems. Despite its immense popularity, ROC analysis has been su…
Distributions over rankings are used to model data in various settings such as preference analysis and political elections. The factorial size of the space of rankings, however, typically forces one to make structural assumptions, such as smoothness, sparsity, or probabilistic independence about these underlying distri…
Using the diagrammatic calculus for Soergel bimodules developed by B. Elias and M. Khovanov, we show that Rouquier complexes are functorial over braid cobordisms. We explicitly describe the chain maps which correspond to movie move generators.
Generators and relations found for foam categories.
The scheduling of films is a major problem for the movie theatre exhibition business. The problem is two-fold: movie exhibitors ideally would like to schedule films to screens in their various locations to maximize attendance and revenue, but would also like to schedule these films such that neighbouring theatre locati…
This paper presents a novel model for multimodal learning based on gated neural networks. The Gated Multimodal Unit (GMU) model is intended to be used as an internal unit in a neural network architecture whose purpose is to find an intermediate representation based on a combination of data from different modalities. Th…

The train dataset comprises 4,536,891 ratings provided by 171,670 users on 23,974$ movies, as well as the household groupings of a subset of the users. The test dataset comprises 5,450 rating…
Study compares BERT with other sentiment analysis models.
ANT learns sparse embeddings for large vocabularies efficiently.
Dataset pruning is the process of removing sub-optimal tuples from a dataset to improve the learning of a machine learning model. In this paper, we compared the performance of different algorithms, first on an unpruned dataset and then on an iteratively pruned dataset. The goal was to understand whether an algorithm (s…
Recommending items to users is a challenging task due to the large amount of missing information. In many cases, the data solely consist of ratings or tags voluntarily contributed by each user on a very limited subset of the available items, so that most of the data of potential interest is actually missing. Current ap…
