A Hierarchical Attention-based Contrastive Learning Method for Micro Video Popularity Prediction
Micro videos popularity prediction (MVPP) has recently attracted widespread research interests given the increasing prevalence of video-based social platforms. However, previous studies have overlooked the unique patterns between popular and unpopular videos and the interactions between asynchronous features different data dimensions. To address this, we propose a novel hierarchical attention contrastive learning method named HACL, which extracts explainable representation features, learns their asynchronous interactions from both temporal and spatial levels, and separates the positive and negative embeddings identities. This reveals video popularity in a contrastive and interrelated view, and thus can be responsible for a better MVPP. Dual neural networks account for separate positive and negative patterns via contrastive learning. To obtain the temporal-wise interaction coefficients, we propose a Hadamard-product based attention approach to optimize the trainable attention-map matrices. Results from our experiments on a TikTok micro video dataset show that HACL outperforms benchmarks and provides insightful managerial implications
Learning from Very Few Samples: A Survey
Few sample learning (FSL) is significant and challenging in the field of
machine learning. The capability of learning and generalizing from very few
samples successfully is a noticeable demarcation separating artificial
intelligence and human intelligence since humans can readily establish their
cognition to novelty from just a single or a handful of examples whereas
machine learning algorithms typically entail hundreds or thousands of
supervised samples to guarantee generalization ability. Despite the long
history dated back to the early 2000s and the widespread attention in recent
years with booming deep learning technologies, little surveys or reviews for
FSL are available until now. In this context, we extensively review 300+ papers
of FSL spanning from the 2000s to 2019 and provide a timely and comprehensive
survey for FSL. In this survey, we review the evolution history as well as the
current progress on FSL, categorize FSL approaches into the generative model
based and discriminative model based kinds in principle, and emphasize
particularly on the meta learning based FSL approaches. We also summarize
several recently emerging extensional topics of FSL and review the latest
advances on these topics. Furthermore, we highlight the important FSL
applications covering many research hotspots in computer vision, natural
language processing, audio and speech, reinforcement learning and robotic, data
analysis, etc. Finally, we conclude the survey with a discussion on promising
trends in the hope of providing guidance and insights to follow-up researches.Comment: 30 page
A Survey on Deep Learning in Medical Image Analysis
Deep learning algorithms, in particular convolutional networks, have rapidly
become a methodology of choice for analyzing medical images. This paper reviews
the major deep learning concepts pertinent to medical image analysis and
summarizes over 300 contributions to the field, most of which appeared in the
last year. We survey the use of deep learning for image classification, object
detection, segmentation, registration, and other tasks and provide concise
overviews of studies per application area. Open challenges and directions for
future research are discussed.Comment: Revised survey includes expanded discussion section and reworked
introductory section on common deep architectures. Added missed papers from
before Feb 1st 201
Modeling Events and Interactions through Temporal Processes -- A Survey
In real-world scenario, many phenomena produce a collection of events that
occur in continuous time. Point Processes provide a natural mathematical
framework for modeling these sequences of events. In this survey, we
investigate probabilistic models for modeling event sequences through temporal
processes. We revise the notion of event modeling and provide the mathematical
foundations that characterize the literature on the topic. We define an
ontology to categorize the existing approaches in terms of three families:
simple, marked, and spatio-temporal point processes. For each family, we
systematically review the existing approaches based based on deep learning.
Finally, we analyze the scenarios where the proposed techniques can be used for
addressing prediction and modeling aspects.Comment: Image replacement
Deep Learning Techniques for Video Instance Segmentation: A Survey
Video instance segmentation, also known as multi-object tracking and
segmentation, is an emerging computer vision research area introduced in 2019,
aiming at detecting, segmenting, and tracking instances in videos
simultaneously. By tackling the video instance segmentation tasks through
effective analysis and utilization of visual information in videos, a range of
computer vision-enabled applications (e.g., human action recognition, medical
image processing, autonomous vehicle navigation, surveillance, etc) can be
implemented. As deep-learning techniques take a dominant role in various
computer vision areas, a plethora of deep-learning-based video instance
segmentation schemes have been proposed. This survey offers a multifaceted view
of deep-learning schemes for video instance segmentation, covering various
architectural paradigms, along with comparisons of functional performance,
model complexity, and computational overheads. In addition to the common
architectural designs, auxiliary techniques for improving the performance of
deep-learning models for video instance segmentation are compiled and
discussed. Finally, we discuss a range of major challenges and directions for
further investigations to help advance this promising research field
Short-Video Marketing in E-commerce: Analyzing and Predicting Consumer Response
This study analyzes and predicts consumer viewing response to e-commerce short-videos (ESVs). We first construct a large-scale ESV dataset that contains 23,001 ESVs across 40 product categories. The dataset consists of the consumer response label in terms of average viewing durations and human-annotated ESV content attributes. Using the constructed dataset and mixed-effects model, we find that product description, product demonstration, pleasure, and aesthetics are four key determinants of ESV viewing duration. Furthermore, we design a content-based multimodal-multitask framework to predict consumer viewing response to ESVs. We propose the information distillation module to extract the shared, special, and conflicted information from ESV multimodal features. Additionally, we employ a hierarchical multitask classification module to capture feature-level and label-level dependencies. We conduct extensive experiments to evaluate the prediction performance of our proposed framework. Taken together, our paper provides theoretical and methodological contributions to the IS and relevant literature
A Comprehensive Survey of Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Talent Analytics
In today's competitive and fast-evolving business environment, it is a
critical time for organizations to rethink how to make talent-related decisions
in a quantitative manner. Indeed, the recent development of Big Data and
Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have revolutionized human resource
management. The availability of large-scale talent and management-related data
provides unparalleled opportunities for business leaders to comprehend
organizational behaviors and gain tangible knowledge from a data science
perspective, which in turn delivers intelligence for real-time decision-making
and effective talent management at work for their organizations. In the last
decade, talent analytics has emerged as a promising field in applied data
science for human resource management, garnering significant attention from AI
communities and inspiring numerous research efforts. To this end, we present an
up-to-date and comprehensive survey on AI technologies used for talent
analytics in the field of human resource management. Specifically, we first
provide the background knowledge of talent analytics and categorize various
pertinent data. Subsequently, we offer a comprehensive taxonomy of relevant
research efforts, categorized based on three distinct application-driven
scenarios: talent management, organization management, and labor market
analysis. In conclusion, we summarize the open challenges and potential
prospects for future research directions in the domain of AI-driven talent
analytics.Comment: 30 pages, 15 figure
