A key challenge in recommender system research is how to effectively profile new users, a problem generally known as cold-start recommendation. Recently the idea of progressivel...
Abstract. This paper proposes the Sequential Coordinate-Wise Algorithm (SCWA) to Discriminant Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (DNMF) for improving face recognition. DNMF incorpora...
In this paper, we develop a stochastic approximation method to solve a monotone estimation problem and use this method to enhance the empirical performance of the Q-learning algor...
Abstract. We consider a Newton-CG augmented Lagrangian method for solving semidefinite programming (SDP) problems from the perspective of approximate semismooth Newton methods. In ...
