Deep Extreme Multi-label Learning
Extreme multi-label learning (XML) or classification has been a practical and
important problem since the boom of big data. The main challenge lies in the
exponential label space which involves possible label sets especially
when the label dimension is huge, e.g., in millions for Wikipedia labels.
This paper is motivated to better explore the label space by originally
establishing an explicit label graph. In the meanwhile, deep learning has been
widely studied and used in various classification problems including
multi-label classification, however it has not been properly introduced to XML,
where the label space can be as large as in millions. In this paper, we propose
a practical deep embedding method for extreme multi-label classification, which
harvests the ideas of non-linear embedding and graph priors-based label space
modeling simultaneously. Extensive experiments on public datasets for XML show
that our method performs competitive against state-of-the-art result
FiBiNET: Combining Feature Importance and Bilinear feature Interaction for Click-Through Rate Prediction
Advertising and feed ranking are essential to many Internet companies such as
Facebook and Sina Weibo. Among many real-world advertising and feed ranking
systems, click through rate (CTR) prediction plays a central role. There are
many proposed models in this field such as logistic regression, tree based
models, factorization machine based models and deep learning based CTR models.
However, many current works calculate the feature interactions in a simple way
such as Hadamard product and inner product and they care less about the
importance of features. In this paper, a new model named FiBiNET as an
abbreviation for Feature Importance and Bilinear feature Interaction NETwork is
proposed to dynamically learn the feature importance and fine-grained feature
interactions. On the one hand, the FiBiNET can dynamically learn the importance
of features via the Squeeze-Excitation network (SENET) mechanism; on the other
hand, it is able to effectively learn the feature interactions via bilinear
function. We conduct extensive experiments on two real-world datasets and show
that our shallow model outperforms other shallow models such as factorization
machine(FM) and field-aware factorization machine(FFM). In order to improve
performance further, we combine a classical deep neural network(DNN) component
with the shallow model to be a deep model. The deep FiBiNET consistently
outperforms the other state-of-the-art deep models such as DeepFM and extreme
deep factorization machine(XdeepFM).Comment: 8 pages,5 figure
The Shape of Art History in the Eyes of the Machine
How does the machine classify styles in art? And how does it relate to art
historians' methods for analyzing style? Several studies have shown the ability
of the machine to learn and predict style categories, such as Renaissance,
Baroque, Impressionism, etc., from images of paintings. This implies that the
machine can learn an internal representation encoding discriminative features
through its visual analysis. However, such a representation is not necessarily
interpretable. We conducted a comprehensive study of several of the
state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks applied to the task of style
classification on 77K images of paintings, and analyzed the learned
representation through correlation analysis with concepts derived from art
history. Surprisingly, the networks could place the works of art in a smooth
temporal arrangement mainly based on learning style labels, without any a
priori knowledge of time of creation, the historical time and context of
styles, or relations between styles. The learned representations showed that
there are few underlying factors that explain the visual variations of style in
art. Some of these factors were found to correlate with style patterns
suggested by Heinrich W\"olfflin (1846-1945). The learned representations also
consistently highlighted certain artists as the extreme distinctive
representative of their styles, which quantitatively confirms art historian
observations
