Learning from Multi-View Multi-Way Data via Structural Factorization Machines
Real-world relations among entities can often be observed and determined by
different perspectives/views. For example, the decision made by a user on
whether to adopt an item relies on multiple aspects such as the contextual
information of the decision, the item's attributes, the user's profile and the
reviews given by other users. Different views may exhibit multi-way
interactions among entities and provide complementary information. In this
paper, we introduce a multi-tensor-based approach that can preserve the
underlying structure of multi-view data in a generic predictive model.
Specifically, we propose structural factorization machines (SFMs) that learn
the common latent spaces shared by multi-view tensors and automatically adjust
the importance of each view in the predictive model. Furthermore, the
complexity of SFMs is linear in the number of parameters, which make SFMs
suitable to large-scale problems. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets
demonstrate that the proposed SFMs outperform several state-of-the-art methods
in terms of prediction accuracy and computational cost.Comment: 10 page
IceCube Non-detection of GRBs: Constraints on the Fireball Properties
The increasingly deep limit on the neutrino emission from gamma-ray bursts
(GRBs) with IceCube observations has reached the level that could put useful
constraints on the fireball properties. We first present a revised analytic
calculation of the neutrino flux, which predicts a flux an order of magnitude
lower than that obtained by the IceCube collaboration. For benchmark model
parameters (e.g. the bulk Lorentz factor is \Gamma=10^{2.5}, the observed
variability time for long GRBs is t_v=0.01 s and the ratio between the energy
in accelerated protons and in radiation is \eta_p=10 for every burst) in the
standard internal shock scenario, the predicted neutrino flux from 215 bursts
during the period of the 40-string and 59-string configurations is found to be
a factor of ~3 below the IceCube sensitivity. However, if we accept the
recently found inherent relation between the bulk Lorentz factor and burst
energy, the expected neutrino flux increases significantly and the spectral
peak shifts to lower energy. In this case, the non-detection then implies that
the baryon loading ratio should be \eta_p<10 if the variability time of long
GRBs is fixed to t_v=0.01 s. Instead, if we relax the standard internal shock
scenario but keep to assume \eta_p=10, the non-detection constrains the
dissipation radius to be R>4x10^{12} cm assuming the same dissipation radius
for every burst and benchmark parameters for fireballs. We also calculate the
diffuse neutrino flux from GRBs for different luminosity functions existing in
the literature. The expected flux exceeds the current IceCube limit for some
luminosity functions, and thus the non-detection constrains \eta_p<10 in such
cases when the variability time of long GRBs is fixed to t_v=0.01 s.Comment: Accepted by ApJ, 14 pages, 5 figures, typos corrected, scheduled for
