Personalizing Session-based Recommendations with Hierarchical Recurrent Neural Networks
Session-based recommendations are highly relevant in many modern on-line
services (e.g. e-commerce, video streaming) and recommendation settings.
Recently, Recurrent Neural Networks have been shown to perform very well in
session-based settings. While in many session-based recommendation domains user
identifiers are hard to come by, there are also domains in which user profiles
are readily available. We propose a seamless way to personalize RNN models with
cross-session information transfer and devise a Hierarchical RNN model that
relays end evolves latent hidden states of the RNNs across user sessions.
Results on two industry datasets show large improvements over the session-only
RNNs
Innovation in construction eBusiness
The use of e-Business within the construction industry has steadily grown over the last decade. However, despite the successes being widely publicized, it is perceived that progress is limited and constrained within the industry. Thus, there are still drivers to be harnessed and barriers to be overcome. The successes achieved in other industries could be transposed and implemented within the construction industry. Many models have been suggested to successfully implement, integrate and embed e-Business within the construction industry. The aim of this special issue is closely aligned with that of a special session on ‘Innovation in Construction e-Business’ at the 6th International Conference on Innovation in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) on June 9-11, 2010. A selection of papers submitted to the conference special session in Innovation in Construction e-Business has been reviewed along with additional papers for publication in this ITcon special issue
Global Shifts in Agro-Industrial Capital and the Case of Soybean Crushing: Implications for Managers and Policy Makers
Tremendous shifts are occurring in the location of agro-industrial capital around the globe. To focus discussion on this topic a session was convened at the annual meeting of the International Food and Agribusiness Management Association in Montreux, Switzerland in June of 2004. The session brought together researchers and industry leaders to better understand these dramatic shifts and the implications they hold for the agri-food system. The following article emerges from that session. The first part of the article provides the context for the discussion by looking at global shifts in soybean processing investment. The second part entails reaction by three industry panelists.Soybeans, Processing, Investment, Global strategy, Agribusiness, Agricultural and Food Policy,

Monitoring and management of power transmission dynamics in an industrial smart grid
This article is a position paper whose purpose is to give the context for presentations in a special session at PowerTech 2013. The special session is being proposed by the EU FP7 Real-Smart Consortium, a Marie Curie Industry-Academic Pathways and Partnerships project. The paper gives an overview of topics on modeling, monitoring and management of power transmission dynamics with participation from large industrial loads. © 2013 IEEE
