Meta-Learning with Adaptive Weighted Loss for Imbalanced Cold-Start Recommendation
Sequential recommenders have made great strides in capturing a user's
preferences. Nevertheless, the cold-start recommendation remains a fundamental
challenge as they typically involve limited user-item interactions for
personalization. Recently, gradient-based meta-learning approaches have emerged
in the sequential recommendation field due to their fast adaptation and
easy-to-integrate abilities. The meta-learning algorithms formulate the
cold-start recommendation as a few-shot learning problem, where each user is
represented as a task to be adapted. While meta-learning algorithms generally
assume that task-wise samples are evenly distributed over classes or values,
user-item interactions in real-world applications do not conform to such a
distribution (e.g., watching favorite videos multiple times, leaving only
positive ratings without any negative ones). Consequently, imbalanced user
feedback, which accounts for the majority of task training data, may dominate
the user adaptation process and prevent meta-learning algorithms from learning
meaningful meta-knowledge for personalized recommendations. To alleviate this
limitation, we propose a novel sequential recommendation framework based on
gradient-based meta-learning that captures the imbalanced rating distribution
of each user and computes adaptive loss for user-specific learning. Our work is
the first to tackle the impact of imbalanced ratings in cold-start sequential
recommendation scenarios. Through extensive experiments conducted on real-world
datasets, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework.Comment: Accepted by CIKM 202
PU GNN: Chargeback Fraud Detection in P2E MMORPGs via Graph Attention Networks with Imbalanced PU Labels
The recent advent of play-to-earn (P2E) systems in massively multiplayer
online role-playing games (MMORPGs) has made in-game goods interchangeable with
real-world values more than ever before. The goods in the P2E MMORPGs can be
directly exchanged with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Klaytn
via blockchain networks. Unlike traditional in-game goods, once they had been
written to the blockchains, P2E goods cannot be restored by the game operation
teams even with chargeback fraud such as payment fraud, cancellation, or
refund. To tackle the problem, we propose a novel chargeback fraud prediction
method, PU GNN, which leverages graph attention networks with PU loss to
capture both the players' in-game behavior with P2E token transaction patterns.
With the adoption of modified GraphSMOTE, the proposed model handles the
imbalanced distribution of labels in chargeback fraud datasets. The conducted
experiments on three real-world P2E MMORPG datasets demonstrate that PU GNN
achieves superior performances over previously suggested methods.Comment: Under Review, Industry Trac
3DTeethSeg'22: 3D Teeth Scan Segmentation and Labeling Challenge
Teeth localization, segmentation, and labeling from intra-oral 3D scans are
essential tasks in modern dentistry to enhance dental diagnostics, treatment
planning, and population-based studies on oral health. However, developing
automated algorithms for teeth analysis presents significant challenges due to
variations in dental anatomy, imaging protocols, and limited availability of
publicly accessible data. To address these challenges, the 3DTeethSeg'22
challenge was organized in conjunction with the International Conference on
Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) in 2022,
with a call for algorithms tackling teeth localization, segmentation, and
labeling from intraoral 3D scans. A dataset comprising a total of 1800 scans
from 900 patients was prepared, and each tooth was individually annotated by a
human-machine hybrid algorithm. A total of 6 algorithms were evaluated on this
dataset. In this study, we present the evaluation results of the 3DTeethSeg'22
challenge. The 3DTeethSeg'22 challenge code can be accessed at:

Who Needs What Aspects of L2 English to What Levels of Proficiency?
This paper explores who needs what aspects of L2 English to what levels of proficiency, focusing on college English
curriculum development in Korea. A survey was conducted of 532 college students in Seoul. Grounded that career is
one of the most important motives for EFL learning, the participants were divided into seven groups based on their
desired careers. The results show that the types of desired careers of the participants are highly correlative with the
strength and weakness of their need for learning English, the kinds of English skills they want to learn, and the levels
of English proficiency they hope to achieve
Acute Hepatitis A-Induced Autoimmune Hepatitis: A Case Report and Literature Review
Introduction: The pathogenesis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is little known. Previous case reports suggest that several viral hepatitis, including hepatitis A, can trigger AIH. Patient: A 55-year-old female showed general weakness and jaundice. The patient was diagnosed with acute hepatitis A and discharged after 14 days of hospitalization with improving liver function. However, blood tests performed 6 days after discharge revealed an increase in liver enzymes and high serum titers of an anti-nuclear antibody and immunoglobulin G. She was readmitted for liver biopsy. Diagnosis: Liver biopsy showed acute hepatitis A along with AIH. According to the revised international autoimmune hepatitis group scoring system, her score was 14 and she was diagnosed as AIH induced by acute hepatitis A. Intervention: Conservative treatments with crystalloid (Lactated Ringer’s Solution), ursodeoxycholic acid, and silymarin were administered. Outcomes: The patient has been followed up on an outpatient basis and neither symptom recurrence nor an increase in liver enzymes has been reported thus far. Lessons: After the treatment of acute hepatitis A, liver function needs to be carefully monitored over time, and the possibility of autoimmune hepatitis should be considered when liver enzymes increases
