A Deep Embedding Model for Co-occurrence Learning
Co-occurrence Data is a common and important information source in many
areas, such as the word co-occurrence in the sentences, friends co-occurrence
in social networks and products co-occurrence in commercial transaction data,
etc, which contains rich correlation and clustering information about the
items. In this paper, we study co-occurrence data using a general energy-based
probabilistic model, and we analyze three different categories of energy-based
model, namely, the , and models, which are able to capture
different levels of dependency in the co-occurrence data. We also discuss how
several typical existing models are related to these three types of energy
models, including the Fully Visible Boltzmann Machine (FVBM) (), Matrix
Factorization (), Log-BiLinear (LBL) models (), and the Restricted
Boltzmann Machine (RBM) model (). Then, we propose a Deep Embedding Model
(DEM) (an model) from the energy model in a \emph{principled} manner.
Furthermore, motivated by the observation that the partition function in the
energy model is intractable and the fact that the major objective of modeling
the co-occurrence data is to predict using the conditional probability, we
apply the \emph{maximum pseudo-likelihood} method to learn DEM. In consequence,
the developed model and its learning method naturally avoid the above
difficulties and can be easily used to compute the conditional probability in
prediction. Interestingly, our method is equivalent to learning a special
structured deep neural network using back-propagation and a special sampling
strategy, which makes it scalable on large-scale datasets. Finally, in the
experiments, we show that the DEM can achieve comparable or better results than
state-of-the-art methods on datasets across several application domains
Customer purchase behavior prediction in E-commerce: a conceptual framework and research agenda
Digital retailers are experiencing an increasing number of transactions coming from their consumers online, a consequence of the convenience in buying goods via E-commerce platforms. Such interactions compose complex behavioral patterns which can be analyzed through predictive analytics to enable businesses to understand consumer needs. In this abundance of big data and possible tools to analyze them, a systematic review of the literature is missing. Therefore, this paper presents a systematic literature review of recent research dealing with customer purchase prediction in the E-commerce context. The main contributions are a novel analytical framework and a research agenda in the field. The framework reveals three main tasks in this review, namely, the prediction of customer intents, buying sessions, and purchase decisions. Those are followed by their employed predictive methodologies and are analyzed from three perspectives. Finally, the research agenda provides major existing issues for further research in the field of purchase behavior prediction online
Looking Deeper into Deep Learning Model: Attribution-based Explanations of TextCNN
Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP) and saliency maps have been recently
used to explain the predictions of Deep Learning models, specifically in the
domain of text classification. Given different attribution-based explanations
to highlight relevant words for a predicted class label, experiments based on
word deleting perturbation is a common evaluation method. This word removal
approach, however, disregards any linguistic dependencies that may exist
between words or phrases in a sentence, which could semantically guide a
classifier to a particular prediction. In this paper, we present a
feature-based evaluation framework for comparing the two attribution methods on
customer reviews (public data sets) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) extracted
reports (corporate data set). Instead of removing words based on the relevance
score, we investigate perturbations based on embedded features removal from
intermediate layers of Convolutional Neural Networks. Our experimental study is
carried out on embedded-word, embedded-document, and embedded-ngrams
explanations. Using the proposed framework, we provide a visualization tool to
assist analysts in reasoning toward the model's final prediction.Comment: NIPS 2018 Workshop on Challenges and Opportunities for AI in
