Efficient Top-N Recommendation by Linear Regression

Talk with Yves Raimond at the GPU Tech Conference on Marth 28, 2018 in San Jose, CA. Abstract: In this talk, we will survey how Deep Learning methods can be applied to personalization and recommendations. We will cover why standard Deep Learning approaches don't perform better than typical collaborative filtering techniques. Then we will survey we will go over recently published research at the intersection of Deep Learning and recommender systems, looking at how they integrate new types of data, explore new models, or change the recommendation problem statement. We will also highlight some of the ways that neural networks are used at Netflix and how we can use GPUs to train recommender systems. Finally, we will highlight promising new directions in this space.

Recurrent Neural Networks for Recommendations and Personalization with Nick P...

Databricks

In the last few years, RNNs have achieved significant success in modeling time series and sequence data, in particular within the speech, language, and text domains. Recently, these techniques have been begun to be applied to session-based recommendation tasks, with very promising results. This talk explores the latest research advances in this domain, as well as practical applications. I will provide an overview of RNNs, covering common architectures and applications, before diving deeper into RNNs for session-based recommendations. I will pay particular attention to the challenges inherent in common personalization tasks and the specific adjustments to models and optimization techniques required for success.

Machine learning

Tushar Nikam

Machine learning(ML) is the scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems used to progressively improve their performance on a specific task. Machine learning algorithms build a mathematical model of sample data, known as “Training Data", in order to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to perform the task. Machine learning algorithms are used in the applications of email filtering, detection of network intruders and computer vision, where it is infeasible to develop an algorithm of specific instructions for performing the task. Machine learning is closely related to computational statistics, which focuses on making predictions using computers. The study of mathematical optimization delivers methods, theory and application domains to the field of machine learning. Data mining is a field of study within machine learning and focuses on exploratory data analysis through unsupervised learning. In its application across business problems, Machine learning is the study of computer systems that learn from data and experience. It is applied in an incredibly wide variety of application areas, from medicine to advertising, from military to pedestrian. Any area in which you need to make sense of data is a potential customer of machine learning.

Crafting Recommenders: the Shallow and the Deep of it!

Sudeep Das, Ph.D.

Sudeep Das presented on recommender systems and advances in deep learning approaches. Matrix factorization is still the foundational method for collaborative filtering, but deep learning models are now augmenting these approaches. Deep neural networks can learn hierarchical representations of users and items from raw data like images, text, and sequences of user actions. Models like wide and deep networks combine the strengths of memorization and generalization. Sequence models like recurrent neural networks have also been applied to sessions for next item recommendation.

Déjà Vu: The Importance of Time and Causality in Recommender Systems

This document discusses the importance of time and causality in recommender systems. It summarizes that (1) time and causality are critical aspects that must be considered in data collection, experiment design, algorithms, and system design. (2) Recommender systems operate within a feedback loop where the recommendations influence future user behavior and data, so effects like reinforcement of biases can occur. (3) Both offline and online experimentation are needed to properly evaluate systems and generalization over time.

Offline evaluation of recommender systems: all pain and no gain?

Mark Levy

Recommender Systems (Machine Learning Summer School 2014 @ CMU)

National Institute of Biologics

The document summarizes a presentation on recommender systems given by Xavier Amatriain. It begins with introductions to recommender systems and collaborative filtering. Traditional collaborative filtering approaches include user-based and item-based methods. User-based CF finds similar users to a target user and recommends items they liked. Item-based CF finds similar items to those a target user liked and predicts ratings. Both approaches address sparsity and scalability challenges with dimensionality reduction techniques.

Collaborative Filtering Recommender Based on Co-occurrence Matrix

Marjan Sterjev

Latent factor models for Collaborative Filtering

sscdotopen

The document discusses latent factor models for collaborative filtering. It describes how latent factor models (1) map both users and items to a latent factor space to characterize them, (2) approximate ratings as the dot product of user and item vectors, and (3) can be used to predict unknown ratings. It also covers techniques like stochastic gradient descent and alternating least squares for training latent factor models on explicit and implicit feedback data.

Matrix Factorization Techniques For Recommender Systems

Lei Guo

The document discusses matrix factorization techniques for recommender systems. It begins by describing common recommender system strategies like content-based and collaborative filtering approaches. It then introduces matrix factorization methods, which characterize both users and items by vectors of latent factors inferred from rating patterns. The basic matrix factorization model approximates user ratings as the inner product of user and item vectors in the joint latent factor space. Learning algorithms like stochastic gradient descent and alternating least squares are used to compute the user and item vectors by minimizing a regularized error function on known ratings.

Efficient Top-N Recommendation for Very Large Scale Binary Rated Datasets

Fabio Aiolli

It discusses using memory-based collaborative filtering with an asymmetric similarity measure and scoring function. It also covers techniques like locality tuning, calibration, and ranking aggregation. These methods achieved the top score on the MSD Challenge competition, outperforming matrix factorization and other approaches on the large music recommendation task.

[CIKM 2014] Deviation-Based Contextual SLIM Recommenders

YONG ZHENG

Context-aware recommender systems (CARS) help improve the effectiveness of recommendations by adapting to users' preferences in different contextual situations. One approach to CARS that has been shown to be particularly effective is Context-Aware Matrix Factorization (CAMF). CAMF incorporates contextual dependencies into the standard matrix factorization (MF) process, where users and items are represented as collections of weights over various latent factors. In this paper, we introduce another CARS approach based on an extension of matrix factorization, namely, the Sparse Linear Method (SLIM). We develop a family of deviation-based contextual SLIM (CSLIM) recommendation algorithms by learning rating deviations in different contextual conditions. Our CSLIM approach is better at explaining the underlying reasons behind contextual recommendations, and our experimental evaluations over five context-aware data sets demonstrate that these CSLIM algorithms outperform the state-of-the-art CARS algorithms in the top-$N$ recommendation task. We also discuss the criteria for selecting the appropriate CSLIM algorithm in advance based on the underlying characteristics of the data.

[SAC 2015] Improve General Contextual SLIM Recommendation Algorithms By Facto...

YONG ZHENG

This document summarizes a research paper that improves on a previous context-aware recommender system algorithm called GCSLIM by factorizing contexts to address its sparsity problem. The paper introduces GCSLIM and its drawback of measuring context deviations in pairs, which can result in unknown deviations when new context combinations are encountered. To solve this, the paper represents each context as a vector and calculates deviations as the Euclidean distance between vectors. Experimental results on a restaurant dataset show improved precision and MAP over baselines. The conclusions discuss how factorizing contexts can alleviate but not fully solve sparsity, and future work to address cold start issues.

February 2016 HUG: Apache Kudu (incubating): New Apache Hadoop Storage for Fa...

Over the past several years, the Hadoop ecosystem has made great strides in its real-time access capabilities, narrowing the gap compared to traditional database technologies. With systems such as Impala and Apache Spark, analysts can now run complex queries or jobs over large datasets within a matter of seconds. With systems such as Apache HBase and Apache Phoenix, applications can achieve millisecond-scale random access to arbitrarily-sized datasets. Despite these advances, some important gaps remain that prevent many applications from transitioning to Hadoop-based architectures. Users are often caught between a rock and a hard place: columnar formats such as Apache Parquet offer extremely fast scan rates for analytics, but little to no ability for real-time modification or row-by-row indexed access. Online systems such as HBase offer very fast random access, but scan rates that are too slow for large scale data warehousing workloads. This talk will investigate the trade-offs between real-time transactional access and fast analytic performance from the perspective of storage engine internals. It will also describe Kudu, the new addition to the open source Hadoop ecosystem with out-of-the-box integration with Apache Spark, that fills the gap described above to provide a new option to achieve fast scans and fast random access from a single API. Speakers: David Alves. Software engineer at Cloudera working on the Kudu team, and a PhD student at UT Austin. David is a committer at the Apache Software Foundation and has contributed to several open source projects, including Apache Cassandra and Apache Drill.

Splice Machine is an open-source database that combines the benefits of modern lambda architectures with the full expressiveness of ANSI-SQL. Like lambda architectures, it employs separate compute engines for different workloads - some call this an HTAP database (Hybrid Transactional and Analytical Platform). This talk describes the architecture and implementation of Splice Machine V2.0. The system is powered by a sharded key-value store for fast short reads and writes, and short range scans (Apache HBase) and an in-memory, cluster data flow engine for analytics (Apache Spark). It differs from most other clustered SQL systems such as Impala, SparkSQL, and Hive because it combines analytical processing with a distributed Multi-Value Concurrency Method that provides fine-grained concurrency which is required to power real-time applications. This talk will highlight the Splice Machine storage representation, transaction engine, cost-based optimizer, and present the detailed execution of operational queries on HBase, and the detailed execution of analytical queries on Spark. We will compare and contrast how Splice Machine executes queries with other HTAP systems such as Apache Phoenix and Apache Trafodian. We will end with some roadmap items under development involving new row-based and column-based storage encodings. Speakers: Monte Zweben, is a technology industry veteran. Monte’s early career was spent with the NASA Ames Research Center as the Deputy Chief of the Artificial Intelligence Branch, where he won the prestigious Space Act Award for his work on the Space Shuttle program.

Parallel analytics as a service

Petrie Wong

Recently, massively parallel processing relational database systems (MPPDBs) have gained much momentum in the big data analytic market. With the advent of hosted cloud computing, we envision that the offering of MPPDB-as-a-Service (MPPDBaaS) will become attractive for companies having analytical tasks on only hundreds gigabytes to some ten terabytes of data because they can enjoy high-end parallel analytics at a cheap cost. This paper presents Thrifty, a prototype implementation of MPPDB-as-a-service. The major research issue is how to achieve a lower total cost of ownership by consolidating thousands of MPPDB tenants on to a shared hardware infrastructure, with a performance SLA that guarantees the tenants can obtain the query results as if they are executing their queries on dedicated machines. Thrifty achieves the goal by using a tenant-driven design that includes (1) a cluster design that carefully arranges the nodes in the cluster into groups and creates an MPPDB for each group of nodes, (2) a tenant placement that assigns each tenant to several MPPDBs (for high availability service through replication), and (3) a query routing algorithm that routes a tenant’s query to the proper MPPDB at run-time. Experiments show that in a MPPDBaaS with 5000 tenants, where each tenant requests 2 to 32 nodes MPPDB to query against 200GB to 3.2TB of data, Thrifty can serve all the tenants with a 99.9% performance SLA guarantee and a high availability replication factor of 3, using only 18.7% of the nodes requested by the tenants.

Data Science Salon: A Journey of Deploying a Data Science Engine to Production

Formulatedby

Presented by Mostafa Madjipour., Senior Data Scientist at Time Inc. Next DSS NYC Event 👉 https://datascience.salon/newyork/ Next DSS LA Event 👉 https://datascience.salon/la/ Reducing the gap between R&D and production is still a challenge for data science/ machine learning engineering groups in many companies. Typically, data scientists develop the data-driven models in a research-oriented programming environment (such as R and python). Next, the data/machine learning engineers rewrite the code (typically in another programming language) in a way that is easy to integrate with production services. This process has some disadvantages: 1) It is time consuming; 2) slows the impact of data science team on business; 3) code rewriting is prone to errors. A possible solution to overcome the aforementioned disadvantages would be to implement a deployment strategy that easily embeds/transforms the model created by data scientists. Packages such as jPMML, MLeap, PFA, and PMML among others are developed for this purpose. In this talk we review some of the mentioned packages, motivated by a project at Time Inc. The project involves development of a near real-time recommender system, which includes a predictor engine, paired with a set of business rules.

10 More Lessons Learned from Building Real-Life ML Systems: A year ago I presented a collection of 10 lessons in MLConf. These goal of the presentation was to highlight some of the practical issues that ML practitioners encounter in the field, many of which are not included in traditional textbooks and courses. The original 10 lessons included some related to issues such as feature complexity, sampling, regularization, distributing/parallelizing algorithms, or how to think about offline vs. online computation. Since that presentation and associated material was published, I have been asked to complement it with more/newer material. In this talk I will present 10 new lessons that not only build upon the original ones, but also relate to my recent experiences at Quora. I will talk about the importance of metrics, training data, and debuggability of ML systems. I will also describe how to combine supervised and non-supervised approaches or the role of ensembles in practical ML systems.

10 more lessons learned from building Machine Learning systems

1. Machine learning applications at Quora include answer ranking, feed ranking, topic recommendations, user recommendations, and more. A variety of models are used including logistic regression, gradient boosted decision trees, neural networks, and matrix factorization. 2. Implicit signals like watching and clicking tend to be more useful than explicit signals like ratings. However, both implicit and explicit signals combined can better represent long-term goals. 3. The outputs of machine learning models will often become inputs to other models, so models need to be designed with this in mind to avoid issues like feedback loops.

Triantafyllia Voulibasi

ISSEL

This document summarizes a thesis on automating test routine creation through natural language processing. The author proposes using word embeddings and recommender systems to automatically generate test cases from requirements documents and link them together. The methodology involves representing text as word vectors, calculating similarity between requirements and test blocks, and applying association rule mining on test block sequences. An experiment on a space operations dataset showed the approach improved productivity in test creation and requirements tracing over manual methods. Future work could explore using deep learning models and collecting additional evaluation metrics from users.

Data ops in practice - Swedish style

Lars Albertsson

DataOps requires a cultural shift that brings the principles of lean manufacturing and DevOps to data analytics. It breaks down silos between developers, data scientists, and operators, resulting in rapid cycle times and low error rates. At Spotify in 2013, the concept of DataOps did not exist but the Swedish company needed a way to align the people, processes, and technologies of the data organization to accelerate the development of high-quality analytics. The result was a Swedish-style DataOps, influenced by Scandinavian culture and agile principles, that enabled the company to become a true data-driven leader.

An All-Around Benchmark of the DBaaS Market

The entire database market is moving towards Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), resulting in a heterogeneous DBaaS landscape shaped by database vendors, cloud providers, and DBaaS brokers. This DBaaS landscape is rapidly evolving and the DBaaS products differ in their features but also their price and performance capabilities. In consequence, selecting the optimal DBaaS provider for the customer needs becomes a challenge, especially for performance-critical applications. To enable an on-demand comparison of the DBaaS landscape we present the benchANT DBaaS Navigator, an open DBaaS comparison platform for management and deployment features, costs, and performance. The DBaaS Navigator is an open data platform that enables the comparison of over 20 DBaaS providers for the relational and NoSQL databases. This talk will provide a brief overview of the benchmarked categories with a focus on the technical categories such as price/performance for NoSQL DBaaS and how ScyllaDB Cloud is performing.

Radically Outperforming DynamoDB @ Digital Turbine with SADA and Google Cloud

Digital Turbine, the Leading Mobile Growth & Monetization Platform, did the analysis and made the leap from DynamoDB to ScyllaDB Cloud on GCP. Suffice it to say, they stuck the landing. We'll introduce Joseph Shorter, VP, Platform Architecture at DT, who lead the charge for change and can speak first-hand to the performance, reliability, and cost benefits of this move.

TrustArc

Global data transfers can be tricky due to different regulations and individual protections in each country. Sharing data with vendors has become such a normal part of business operations that some may not even realize they’re conducting a cross-border data transfer! The Global CBPR Forum launched the new Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules framework in May 2024 to ensure that privacy compliance and regulatory differences across participating jurisdictions do not block a business's ability to deliver its products and services worldwide. To benefit consumers and businesses, Global CBPRs promote trust and accountability while moving toward a future where consumer privacy is honored and data can be transferred responsibly across borders. This webinar will review: - What is a data transfer and its related risks - How to manage and mitigate your data transfer risks - How do different data transfer mechanisms like the EU-US DPF and Global CBPR benefit your business globally - Globally what are the cross-border data transfer regulations and guidelines

So You've Lost Quorum: Lessons From Accidental Downtime

The best thing about databases is that they always work as intended, and never suffer any downtime. You'll never see a system go offline because of a database outage. In this talk, Bo Ingram -- staff engineer at Discord and author of ScyllaDB in Action --- dives into an outage with one of their ScyllaDB clusters, showing how a stressed ScyllaDB cluster looks and behaves during an incident. You'll learn about how to diagnose issues in your clusters, see how external failure modes manifest in ScyllaDB, and how you can avoid making a fault too big to tolerate.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots

Pablo Gómez Abajo

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots. To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
