Conversions between barycentric, RKFUN, and Newton representations of rational interpolants
We derive explicit formulas for converting between rational interpolants in
barycentric, rational Krylov (RKFUN), and Newton form. We show applications of
these conversions when working with rational approximants produced by the AAA
algorithm [Y. Nakatsukasa, O. S\`ete, L. N. Trefethen, arXiv preprint
1612.00337, 2016] within the Rational Krylov Toolbox and for the solution of
nonlinear eigenvalue problems
Personalized Prediction and Sparsity Pursuit in Latent Factor Models
<p>Personalized information filtering extracts the information specifically relevant to a user, predicting his/her preference over a large number of items, based on the opinions of users who think alike or its content. This problem is cast into the framework of regression and classification, where we integrate additional user-specific and content-specific predictors in partial latent models, for higher predictive accuracy. In particular, we factorize a user-over-item preference matrix into a product of two matrices, each representing a user’s preference and an item preference by users. Then we propose a likelihood method to seek a sparsest latent factorization, from a class of overcomplete factorizations, possibly with a high percentage of missing values. This promotes additional sparsity beyond rank reduction. Computationally, we design methods based on a “decomposition and combination” strategy, to break large-scale optimization into many small subproblems to solve in a recursive and parallel manner. On this basis, we implement the proposed methods through multi-platform shared-memory parallel programming, and through Mahout, a library for scalable machine learning and data mining, for mapReduce computation. For example, our methods are scalable to a dataset consisting of three billions of observations on a single machine with sufficient memory, having good timings. Both theoretical and numerical investigations show that the proposed methods exhibit a significant improvement in accuracy over state-of-the-art scalable methods.
