Feature Learning based Deep Supervised Hashing with Pairwise Labels

1 code implementation12 Nov 2015 Wu-Jun Li, Sheng Wang, Wang-Cheng Kang

For another common application scenario with pairwise labels, there have not existed methods for simultaneous feature learning and hash-code learning.

Deep Hashing Image Retrieval

Column sampling based discrete supervised hashing

no code implementations AAAI 2016 Wang-Cheng Kang, Wu-Jun Li and Zhi-Hua Zhou

COSDISH is an iterative method, in each iteration of which several columns are sampled from the semantic similarity matrix and then the hashing code is decomposed into two parts which can be alternately optimized in a discrete way.

Translation-based Recommendation

1 code implementation8 Jul 2017 Ruining He, Wang-Cheng Kang, Julian McAuley

Modeling the complex interactions between users and items as well as amongst items themselves is at the core of designing successful recommender systems.

Visually-Aware Fashion Recommendation and Design with Generative Image Models

no code implementations7 Nov 2017 Wang-Cheng Kang, Chen Fang, Zhaowen Wang, Julian McAuley

Here, we seek to extend this contribution by showing that recommendation performance can be significantly improved by learning `fashion aware' image representations directly, i. e., by training the image representation (from the pixel level) and the recommender system jointly; this contribution is related to recent work using Siamese CNNs, though we are able to show improvements over state-of-the-art recommendation techniques such as BPR and variants that make use of pre-trained visual features.

Self-Attentive Sequential Recommendation

8 code implementations20 Aug 2018 Wang-Cheng Kang, Julian McAuley

Sequential dynamics are a key feature of many modern recommender systems, which seek to capture the `context' of users' activities on the basis of actions they have performed recently.

Recommendation Through Mixtures of Heterogeneous Item Relationships

2 code implementations29 Aug 2018 Wang-Cheng Kang, Mengting Wan, Julian McAuley

Recommender Systems have proliferated as general-purpose approaches to model a wide variety of consumer interaction data.

Complete the Look: Scene-based Complementary Product Recommendation

1 code implementation CVPR 2019 Wang-Cheng Kang, Eric Kim, Jure Leskovec, Charles Rosenberg, Julian McAuley

We design an approach to extract training data for this task, and propose a novel way to learn the scene-product compatibility from fashion or interior design images.

Candidate Generation with Binary Codes for Large-Scale Top-N Recommendation

no code implementations12 Sep 2019 Wang-Cheng Kang, Julian McAuley

Generating the Top-N recommendations from a large corpus is computationally expensive to perform at scale.

Learning to Embed Categorical Features without Embedding Tables for Recommendation

no code implementations21 Oct 2020 Wang-Cheng Kang, Derek Zhiyuan Cheng, Tiansheng Yao, Xinyang Yi, Ting Chen, Lichan Hong, Ed H. Chi

Embedding learning of categorical features (e. g. user/item IDs) is at the core of various recommendation models including matrix factorization and neural collaborative filtering.

Do LLMs Understand User Preferences? Evaluating LLMs On User Rating Prediction

no code implementations10 May 2023 Wang-Cheng Kang, Jianmo Ni, Nikhil Mehta, Maheswaran Sathiamoorthy, Lichan Hong, Ed Chi, Derek Zhiyuan Cheng

In this paper, we conduct a thorough examination of both CF and LLMs within the classic task of user rating prediction, which involves predicting a user's rating for a candidate item based on their past ratings.

Farzi Data: Autoregressive Data Distillation

no code implementations15 Oct 2023 Noveen Sachdeva, Zexue He, Wang-Cheng Kang, Jianmo Ni, Derek Zhiyuan Cheng, Julian McAuley

We study data distillation for auto-regressive machine learning tasks, where the input and output have a strict left-to-right causal structure.
