Hierarchical Attention Network for Visually-aware Food Recommendation
Food recommender systems play an important role in assisting users to
identify the desired food to eat. Deciding what food to eat is a complex and
multi-faceted process, which is influenced by many factors such as the
ingredients, appearance of the recipe, the user's personal preference on food,
and various contexts like what had been eaten in the past meals. In this work,
we formulate the food recommendation problem as predicting user preference on
recipes based on three key factors that determine a user's choice on food,
namely, 1) the user's (and other users') history; 2) the ingredients of a
recipe; and 3) the descriptive image of a recipe. To address this challenging
problem, we develop a dedicated neural network based solution Hierarchical
Attention based Food Recommendation (HAFR) which is capable of: 1) capturing
the collaborative filtering effect like what similar users tend to eat; 2)
inferring a user's preference at the ingredient level; and 3) learning user
preference from the recipe's visual images. To evaluate our proposed method, we
construct a large-scale dataset consisting of millions of ratings from
AllRecipes.com. Extensive experiments show that our method outperforms several
competing recommender solutions like Factorization Machine and Visual Bayesian
Personalized Ranking with an average improvement of 12%, offering promising
results in predicting user preference for food. Codes and dataset will be
released upon acceptance
Automated user modeling for personalized digital libraries
Digital libraries (DL) have become one of the most typical ways of accessing any kind of digitalized information. Due to this key role, users welcome any improvements on the services they receive from digital libraries. One trend used to
improve digital services is through personalization. Up to now, the most common approach for personalization in digital libraries has been user-driven. Nevertheless, the design of efficient personalized services has to be done, at least in part, in
an automatic way. In this context, machine learning techniques automate the process of constructing user models. This paper proposes a new approach to construct digital libraries that satisfy user’s necessity for information: Adaptive Digital Libraries, libraries that automatically learn user preferences and goals and personalize their interaction using this information
Adversarial Training Towards Robust Multimedia Recommender System
With the prevalence of multimedia content on the Web, developing recommender
solutions that can effectively leverage the rich signal in multimedia data is
in urgent need. Owing to the success of deep neural networks in representation
learning, recent advance on multimedia recommendation has largely focused on
exploring deep learning methods to improve the recommendation accuracy. To
date, however, there has been little effort to investigate the robustness of
multimedia representation and its impact on the performance of multimedia
recommendation.
In this paper, we shed light on the robustness of multimedia recommender
system. Using the state-of-the-art recommendation framework and deep image
features, we demonstrate that the overall system is not robust, such that a
small (but purposeful) perturbation on the input image will severely decrease
the recommendation accuracy. This implies the possible weakness of multimedia
recommender system in predicting user preference, and more importantly, the
potential of improvement by enhancing its robustness. To this end, we propose a
novel solution named Adversarial Multimedia Recommendation (AMR), which can
lead to a more robust multimedia recommender model by using adversarial
learning. The idea is to train the model to defend an adversary, which adds
perturbations to the target image with the purpose of decreasing the model's
accuracy. We conduct experiments on two representative multimedia
recommendation tasks, namely, image recommendation and visually-aware product
recommendation. Extensive results verify the positive effect of adversarial
learning and demonstrate the effectiveness of our AMR method. Source codes are

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
A Survey on Personalized Multimedia Content Search
Millions of users share opinions on different aspects of life every day. User can give opinions through their comments related to multimedia contents. For analyzing user’s demands we can evaluate user comments as a common online resource. Comments given by user provide clues about them & also their interest area. In this paper, we done survey on different techniques used for personalized search in relevant information retrieval. Recommender systems or recommendation systems are a subclass of information filtering system that seek to predict ‘rating’ or ‘preference’ that are given by users. We propose a personalized search system, called MovieMine, enhance this proposed system to provide more relevant data summarized according to past & present comments left by user. Large movie data center provide movie review which can be utilized for more specific output. Experimental evaluations show that our proposed techniques are efficient and perform better than previously proposed methods. As in research work we can study more types of sentiment analysis with different recommender systems approach.

Improving the quality of the personalized electronic program guide
As Digital TV subscribers are offered more and more channels, it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to locate the right programme information at the right time. The personalized Electronic Programme Guide (pEPG) is one solution to this problem; it leverages artificial intelligence and user profiling techniques to learn about the viewing preferences of individual users in order to compile personalized viewing guides that fit their individual preferences. Very often the limited availability of profiling information is a key limiting factor in such personalized recommender systems. For example, it is well known that collaborative filtering approaches suffer significantly from the sparsity problem, which exists because the expected item-overlap between profiles is usually very low. In this article we address the sparsity problem in the Digital TV domain. We propose the use of data mining techniques as a way of supplementing meagre ratings-based profile knowledge with additional item-similarity knowledge that can be automatically discovered by mining user profiles. We argue that this new similarity knowledge can significantly enhance the performance of a recommender system in even the sparsest of profile spaces. Moreover, we provide an extensive evaluation of our approach using two large-scale, state-of-the-art online systems—PTVPlus, a personalized TV listings portal and Físchlár, an online digital video library system
