Tutorial: Modern Theoretical Tools for Understanding and Designing Next-generation Information Retrieval System
Time is now to bring the community a systematic tutorial on how we successfully adapt those tools and make significant progress in understanding, designing, and eventually productionize impactful IR systems.
From Intervention to Domain Transportation: A Novel Perspective to Optimize Recommendation
The interventional nature of recommendation has attracted increasing attention in recent years.
Towards Robust Off-policy Learning for Runtime Uncertainty
Off-policy learning plays a pivotal role in optimizing and evaluating policies prior to the online deployment.
Rethinking Neural vs. Matrix-Factorization Collaborative Filtering: the Theoretical Perspectives
The recent work by Rendle et al. (2020), based on empirical observations, argues that matrix-factorization collaborative filtering (MCF) compares favorably to neural collaborative filtering (NCF), and conjectures the dot product's superiority over the feed-forward neural network as similarity function.
Towards the D-Optimal Online Experiment Design for Recommender Selection
Selecting the optimal recommender via online exploration-exploitation is catching increasing attention where the traditional A/B testing can be slow and costly, and offline evaluations are prone to the bias of history data.
A Temporal Kernel Approach for Deep Learning with Continuous-time Information
Sequential deep learning models such as RNN, causal CNN and attention mechanism do not readily consume continuous-time information.
Understanding the role of importance weighting for deep learning
The recent paper by Byrd & Lipton (2019), based on empirical observations, raises a major concern on the impact of importance weighting for the over-parameterized deep learning models.
Theoretical Understandings of Product Embedding for E-commerce Machine Learning
The generalization performance in the downstream machine learning task is controlled by the alignment between the embeddings and the product relatedness measure.
Adversarial Counterfactual Learning and Evaluation for Recommender System
The feedback data of recommender systems are often subject to what was exposed to the users; however, most learning and evaluation methods do not account for the underlying exposure mechanism.
Inductive Representation Learning on Temporal Graphs
Moreover, node and topological features can be temporal as well, whose patterns the node embeddings should also capture.
Self-attention with Functional Time Representation Learning
To bridge the gap between modelling time-independent and time-dependent event sequence, we introduce a functional feature map that embeds time span into high-dimensional spaces.
Product Knowledge Graph Embedding for E-commerce
In this paper, we propose a new product knowledge graph (PKG) embedding approach for learning the intrinsic product relations as product knowledge for e-commerce.
Knowledge-aware Complementary Product Representation Learning
Standard usage of representation learning emphasizes on only one set of embedding, which is problematic for modelling such properties of complementariness.
Generative Graph Convolutional Network for Growing Graphs
Here we propose a unified generative graph convolutional network that learns node representations for all nodes adaptively in a generative model framework, by sampling graph generation sequences constructed from observed graph data.
