A model for mobile content filtering on non-interactive recommendation systems
To overcome the problem of information overloading in mobile communication, a recommendation system can be used to help mobile device users. However, there are problems relating to sparsity of information from a first-time user in regard to initial rating of the content and the retrieval of relevant items. In order for the user to experience personalized content delivery via the mobile recommendation system, content filtering is necessary. This paper proposes an integrated method by using classification and association rule techniques for extracting knowledge from mobile content in a user's profile. The knowledge can be used to establish a model for new users and first rater on mobile content. The model recommends relevant content in the early stage during the connection based on the user's profile. The proposed method also facilitates association to be generated to link the first rater items to the top items identified from the outcomes of the classification and clustering processes. This can address the problem of sparsity in initial rating and new user's connection for non-interactive recommendation systems
Algorithms and Architecture for Real-time Recommendations at News UK
Recommendation systems are recognised as being hugely important in industry,
and the area is now well understood. At News UK, there is a requirement to be
able to quickly generate recommendations for users on news items as they are
published. However, little has been published about systems that can generate
recommendations in response to changes in recommendable items and user
behaviour in a very short space of time. In this paper we describe a new
algorithm for updating collaborative filtering models incrementally, and
demonstrate its effectiveness on clickstream data from The Times. We also
describe the architecture that allows recommendations to be generated on the
fly, and how we have made each component scalable. The system is currently
being used in production at News UK.Comment: Accepted for presentation at AI-2017 Thirty-seventh SGAI

CIMTDetect: A Community Infused Matrix-Tensor Coupled Factorization Based Method for Fake News Detection
Detecting whether a news article is fake or genuine is a crucial task in
today's digital world where it's easy to create and spread a misleading news
article. This is especially true of news stories shared on social media since
they don't undergo any stringent journalistic checking associated with main
stream media. Given the inherent human tendency to share information with their
social connections at a mouse-click, fake news articles masquerading as real
ones, tend to spread widely and virally. The presence of echo chambers (people
sharing same beliefs) in social networks, only adds to this problem of
wide-spread existence of fake news on social media. In this paper, we tackle
the problem of fake news detection from social media by exploiting the very
presence of echo chambers that exist within the social network of users to
obtain an efficient and informative latent representation of the news article.
By modeling the echo-chambers as closely-connected communities within the
social network, we represent a news article as a 3-mode tensor of the structure
- and propose a tensor factorization based method to
encode the news article in a latent embedding space preserving the community
structure. We also propose an extension of the above method, which jointly
models the community and content information of the news article through a
coupled matrix-tensor factorization framework. We empirically demonstrate the
efficacy of our method for the task of Fake News Detection over two real-world
datasets. Further, we validate the generalization of the resulting embeddings
over two other auxiliary tasks, namely: \textbf{1)} News Cohort Analysis and
\textbf{2)} Collaborative News Recommendation. Our proposed method outperforms
appropriate baselines for both the tasks, establishing its generalization.Comment: Presented at ASONAM'1
The contribution of data mining to information science
The information explosion is a serious challenge for current information institutions. On the other hand, data mining, which is the search for valuable information in large volumes of data, is one of the solutions to face this challenge. In the past several years, data mining has made a significant contribution to the field of information science. This paper examines the impact of data mining by reviewing existing applications, including personalized environments, electronic commerce, and search engines. For these three types of application, how data mining can enhance their functions is discussed. The reader of this paper is expected to get an overview of the state of the art research associated with these applications. Furthermore, we identify the limitations of current work and raise several directions for future research
