    Multi-task Neural Network for Non-discrete Attribute Prediction in Knowledge Graphs

    Full text link
    Many popular knowledge graphs such as Freebase, YAGO or DBPedia maintain a list of non-discrete attributes for each entity. Intuitively, these attributes such as height, price or population count are able to richly characterize entities in knowledge graphs. This additional source of information may help to alleviate the inherent sparsity and incompleteness problem that are prevalent in knowledge graphs. Unfortunately, many state-of-the-art relational learning models ignore this information due to the challenging nature of dealing with non-discrete data types in the inherently binary-natured knowledge graphs. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-task neural network approach for both encoding and prediction of non-discrete attribute information in a relational setting. Specifically, we train a neural network for triplet prediction along with a separate network for attribute value regression. Via multi-task learning, we are able to learn representations of entities, relations and attributes that encode information about both tasks. Moreover, such attributes are not only central to many predictive tasks as an information source but also as a prediction target. Therefore, models that are able to encode, incorporate and predict such information in a relational learning context are highly attractive as well. We show that our approach outperforms many state-of-the-art methods for the tasks of relational triplet classification and attribute value prediction.Comment: Accepted at CIKM 201

    A Survey on Point-of-Interest Recommendations Leveraging Heterogeneous Data

    Full text link
    Tourism is an important application domain for recommender systems. In this domain, recommender systems are for example tasked with providing personalized recommendations for transportation, accommodation, points-of-interest (POIs), or tourism services. Among these tasks, in particular the problem of recommending POIs that are of likely interest to individual tourists has gained growing attention in recent years. Providing POI recommendations to tourists \emph{during their trip} can however be especially challenging due to the variability of the users' context. With the rapid development of the Web and today's multitude of online services, vast amounts of data from various sources have become available, and these heterogeneous data sources represent a huge potential to better address the challenges of in-trip POI recommendation problems. In this work, we provide a comprehensive survey of published research on POI recommendation between 2017 and 2022 from the perspective of heterogeneous data sources. Specifically, we investigate which types of data are used in the literature and which technical approaches and evaluation methods are predominant. Among other aspects, we find that today's research works often focus on a narrow range of data sources, leaving great potential for future works that better utilize heterogeneous data sources and diverse data types for improved in-trip recommendations.Comment: 35 pages, 19 figure

    How machine learning informs ride-hailing services: A survey

    Get PDF
    In recent years, online ride-hailing services have emerged as an important component of urban transportation system, which not only provide significant ease for residents’ travel activities, but also shape new travel behavior and diversify urban mobility patterns. This study provides a thorough review of machine-learning-based methodologies for on-demand ride-hailing services. The importance of on-demand ride-hailing services in the spatio-temporal dynamics of urban traffic is first highlighted, with machine-learning-based macro-level ride-hailing research demonstrating its value in guiding the design, planning, operation, and control of urban intelligent transportation systems. Then, the research on travel behavior from the perspective of individual mobility patterns, including carpooling behavior and modal choice behavior, is summarized. In addition, existing studies on order matching and vehicle dispatching strategies, which are among the most important components of on-line ride-hailing systems, are collected and summarized. Finally, some of the critical challenges and opportunities in ride-hailing services are discussed
