KALwEN+: Practical Key Management Schemes for Gossip-Based Wireless Medical Sensor Networks
The constrained resources of sensors restrict the design of a key management scheme for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this work, we first formalize the security model of ALwEN, which is a gossip-based wireless medical sensor network (WMSN) for ambient assisted living. Our security model considers the node capture, the gossip-based network and the revocation problems, which should be valuable for ALwEN-like applications. Based on Shamir's secret sharing technique, we then propose two key management schemes for ALwEN, namely the KALwEN+ schemes, which are proven with the security properties defined in the security model. The KALwEN+ schemes not only fit ALwEN, but also can be tailored to other scalable wireless sensor networks based on gossiping
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
Feature Generation by Convolutional Neural Network for Click-Through Rate Prediction
Click-Through Rate prediction is an important task in recommender systems,
which aims to estimate the probability of a user to click on a given item.
Recently, many deep models have been proposed to learn low-order and high-order
feature interactions from original features. However, since useful interactions
are always sparse, it is difficult for DNN to learn them effectively under a
large number of parameters. In real scenarios, artificial features are able to
improve the performance of deep models (such as Wide & Deep Learning), but
feature engineering is expensive and requires domain knowledge, making it
impractical in different scenarios. Therefore, it is necessary to augment
feature space automatically. In this paper, We propose a novel Feature
Generation by Convolutional Neural Network (FGCNN) model with two components:
Feature Generation and Deep Classifier. Feature Generation leverages the
strength of CNN to generate local patterns and recombine them to generate new
features. Deep Classifier adopts the structure of IPNN to learn interactions
from the augmented feature space. Experimental results on three large-scale
datasets show that FGCNN significantly outperforms nine state-of-the-art
models. Moreover, when applying some state-of-the-art models as Deep
Classifier, better performance is always achieved, showing the great
compatibility of our FGCNN model. This work explores a novel direction for CTR
predictions: it is quite useful to reduce the learning difficulties of DNN by
automatically identifying important features
Collaborative Deep Learning for Recommender Systems
Collaborative filtering (CF) is a successful approach commonly used by many
recommender systems. Conventional CF-based methods use the ratings given to
items by users as the sole source of information for learning to make
recommendation. However, the ratings are often very sparse in many
applications, causing CF-based methods to degrade significantly in their
recommendation performance. To address this sparsity problem, auxiliary
information such as item content information may be utilized. Collaborative
topic regression (CTR) is an appealing recent method taking this approach which
tightly couples the two components that learn from two different sources of
information. Nevertheless, the latent representation learned by CTR may not be
very effective when the auxiliary information is very sparse. To address this
problem, we generalize recent advances in deep learning from i.i.d. input to
non-i.i.d. (CF-based) input and propose in this paper a hierarchical Bayesian
model called collaborative deep learning (CDL), which jointly performs deep
representation learning for the content information and collaborative filtering
for the ratings (feedback) matrix. Extensive experiments on three real-world
datasets from different domains show that CDL can significantly advance the
state of the art
