Deep recommender engine based on efficient product embeddings neural pipeline
Predictive analytics systems are currently one of the most important areas of
research and development within the Artificial Intelligence domain and
particularly in Machine Learning. One of the "holy grails" of predictive
analytics is the research and development of the "perfect" recommendation
system. In our paper, we propose an advanced pipeline model for the multi-task
objective of determining product complementarity, similarity and sales
prediction using deep neural models applied to big-data sequential transaction
systems. Our highly parallelized hybrid model pipeline consists of both
unsupervised and supervised models, used for the objectives of generating
semantic product embeddings and predicting sales, respectively. Our
experimentation and benchmarking processes have been done using pharma industry
retail real-life transactional Big-Data streams.Comment: 2018 17th RoEduNet Conference: Networking in Education and Research

Exploratory topic modeling with distributional semantics
As we continue to collect and store textual data in a multitude of domains,
we are regularly confronted with material whose largely unknown thematic
structure we want to uncover. With unsupervised, exploratory analysis, no prior
knowledge about the content is required and highly open-ended tasks can be
supported. In the past few years, probabilistic topic modeling has emerged as a
popular approach to this problem. Nevertheless, the representation of the
latent topics as aggregations of semi-coherent terms limits their
interpretability and level of detail.
This paper presents an alternative approach to topic modeling that maps
topics as a network for exploration, based on distributional semantics using
learned word vectors. From the granular level of terms and their semantic
similarity relations global topic structures emerge as clustered regions and
gradients of concepts. Moreover, the paper discusses the visual interactive
representation of the topic map, which plays an important role in supporting
its exploration.Comment: Conference: The Fourteenth International Symposium on Intelligent
