From Query-By-Keyword to Query-By-Example: LinkedIn Talent Search Approach
One key challenge in talent search is to translate complex criteria of a
hiring position into a search query, while it is relatively easy for a searcher
to list examples of suitable candidates for a given position. To improve search
efficiency, we propose the next generation of talent search at LinkedIn, also
referred to as Search By Ideal Candidates. In this system, a searcher provides
one or several ideal candidates as the input to hire for a given position. The
system then generates a query based on the ideal candidates and uses it to
retrieve and rank results. Shifting from the traditional Query-By-Keyword to
this new Query-By-Example system poses a number of challenges: How to generate
a query that best describes the candidates? When moving to a completely
different paradigm, how does one leverage previous product logs to learn
ranking models and/or evaluate the new system with no existing usage logs?
Finally, given the different nature between the two search paradigms, the
ranking features typically used for Query-By-Keyword systems might not be
optimal for Query-By-Example. This paper describes our approach to solving
these challenges. We present experimental results confirming the effectiveness
of the proposed solution, particularly on query building and search ranking
tasks. As of writing this paper, the new system has been available to all
LinkedIn members
GraphGAN: Graph Representation Learning with Generative Adversarial Nets
The goal of graph representation learning is to embed each vertex in a graph
into a low-dimensional vector space. Existing graph representation learning
methods can be classified into two categories: generative models that learn the
underlying connectivity distribution in the graph, and discriminative models
that predict the probability of edge existence between a pair of vertices. In
this paper, we propose GraphGAN, an innovative graph representation learning
framework unifying above two classes of methods, in which the generative model
and discriminative model play a game-theoretical minimax game. Specifically,
for a given vertex, the generative model tries to fit its underlying true
connectivity distribution over all other vertices and produces "fake" samples
to fool the discriminative model, while the discriminative model tries to
detect whether the sampled vertex is from ground truth or generated by the
generative model. With the competition between these two models, both of them
can alternately and iteratively boost their performance. Moreover, when
considering the implementation of generative model, we propose a novel graph
softmax to overcome the limitations of traditional softmax function, which can
be proven satisfying desirable properties of normalization, graph structure
awareness, and computational efficiency. Through extensive experiments on
real-world datasets, we demonstrate that GraphGAN achieves substantial gains in
a variety of applications, including link prediction, node classification, and
recommendation, over state-of-the-art baselines.Comment: The 32nd AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI 2018), 8

Use of implicit graph for recommending relevant videos: a simulated evaluation
In this paper, we propose a model for exploiting community based usage information for video retrieval. Implicit usage information from a pool of past users could be a valuable source to address the difficulties caused due to the semantic gap problem. We propose a graph-based implicit feedback model in which all the usage information can be represented. A number of recommendation algorithms were suggested and experimented. A simulated user evaluation is conducted on the TREC VID collection and the results are presented. Analyzing the results we found some common characteristics on the best performing algorithms, which could indicate the best way of exploiting this type of usage information
DocTag2Vec: An Embedding Based Multi-label Learning Approach for Document Tagging
Tagging news articles or blog posts with relevant tags from a collection of
predefined ones is coined as document tagging in this work. Accurate tagging of
articles can benefit several downstream applications such as recommendation and
search. In this work, we propose a novel yet simple approach called DocTag2Vec
to accomplish this task. We substantially extend Word2Vec and Doc2Vec---two
popular models for learning distributed representation of words and documents.
In DocTag2Vec, we simultaneously learn the representation of words, documents,
and tags in a joint vector space during training, and employ the simple
-nearest neighbor search to predict tags for unseen documents. In contrast
to previous multi-label learning methods, DocTag2Vec directly deals with raw
text instead of provided feature vector, and in addition, enjoys advantages
like the learning of tag representation, and the ability of handling newly
created tags. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, we conduct
experiments on several datasets and show promising results against
state-of-the-art methods.Comment: 10 page
Deep Learning based Recommender System: A Survey and New Perspectives
With the ever-growing volume of online information, recommender systems have
been an effective strategy to overcome such information overload. The utility
of recommender systems cannot be overstated, given its widespread adoption in
many web applications, along with its potential impact to ameliorate many
problems related to over-choice. In recent years, deep learning has garnered
considerable interest in many research fields such as computer vision and
natural language processing, owing not only to stellar performance but also the
attractive property of learning feature representations from scratch. The
influence of deep learning is also pervasive, recently demonstrating its
effectiveness when applied to information retrieval and recommender systems
research. Evidently, the field of deep learning in recommender system is
flourishing. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of recent
research efforts on deep learning based recommender systems. More concretely,
we provide and devise a taxonomy of deep learning based recommendation models,
along with providing a comprehensive summary of the state-of-the-art. Finally,
we expand on current trends and provide new perspectives pertaining to this new
exciting development of the field.Comment: The paper has been accepted by ACM Computing Surveys.
