Abstract: Social virtual worlds such as Second Life are digital representations of the real world where human-controlled avatars evolve and interact through social activities. Unde...
Multiple data sources containing different types of features may be available for a given task. For instance, users’ profiles can be used to build recommendation systems. In a...
In this paper we apply the method of complexity regularization to derive estimation bounds for nonlinear function estimation using a single hidden layer radial basis function netwo...
This paper addresses the issue of social recommendation based on collaborative filtering (CF) algorithms. Social recommendation emphasizes utilizing various attributes informatio...
Abstract. We develop a probabilistic interpretation of non-linear component extraction in neural networks that activate their hidden units according to a softmaxlike mechanism. On ...
