What is machine learning in marketing?: Examples, strategies and more
We are here today to discuss every detail of machine learning in marketing. When you heard the phrase "artificial intelligence" a few decades ago, the first images that undoubtedly came to mind were robots destroying humankind. These days, this phrase is often associated with good things. Almost everyone comes into contact with machine learning daily. For instance, you might interact with a chatbot on a website, see advertising offers relevant to your interests, or configure a spam filter in your email account. Machine learning allows marketers to decide on important matters quickly using vast data sets. We'll discuss the decisions you can base on big data in this article. A type of artificial intelligence called machine learning use algorithms to make judgments and predictions based on information. It is utilized in various contemporary contexts, including healthcare, banking, and advertising.
IoT Data Analytics in Dynamic Environments: From An Automated Machine Learning Perspective
With the wide spread of sensors and smart devices in recent years, the data generation speed of the Internet of Things (IoT) systems has increased dramatically. In IoT systems, massive volumes of data must be processed, transformed, and analyzed on a frequent basis to enable various IoT services and functionalities. Machine Learning (ML) approaches have shown their capacity for IoT data analytics. However, applying ML models to IoT data analytics tasks still faces many difficulties and challenges, specifically, effective model selection, design/tuning, and updating, which have brought massive demand for experienced data scientists. Additionally, the dynamic nature of IoT data may introduce concept drift issues, causing model performance degradation. To reduce human efforts, Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) has become a popular field that aims to automatically select, construct, tune, and update machine learning models to achieve the best performance on specified tasks. In this paper, we conduct a review of existing methods in the model selection, tuning, and updating procedures in the area of AutoML in order to identify and summarize the optimal solutions for every step of applying ML algorithms to IoT data analytics. To justify our findings and help industrial users and researchers better implement AutoML approaches, a case study of applying AutoML to IoT anomaly detection problems is conducted in this work. Lastly, we discuss and classify the challenges and research directions for this domain.
Findings of the Shared Task on Multilingual Coreference Resolution
Žabokrtský, Zdeněk, Konopík, Miloslav, Nedoluzhko, Anna, Novák, Michal, Ogrodniczuk, Maciej, Popel, Martin, Pražák, Ondřej, Sido, Jakub, Zeman, Daniel, Zhu, Yilun
This paper presents an overview of the shared task on multilingual coreference resolution associated with the CRAC 2022 workshop. Shared task participants were supposed to develop trainable systems capable of identifying mentions and clustering them according to identity coreference. The public edition of CorefUD 1.0, which contains 13 datasets for 10 languages, was used as the source of training and evaluation data. The CoNLL score used in previous coreference-oriented shared tasks was used as the main evaluation metric. There were 8 coreference prediction systems submitted by 5 participating teams; in addition, there was a competitive Transformer-based baseline system provided by the organizers at the beginning of the shared task. The winner system outperformed the baseline by 12 percentage points (in terms of the CoNLL scores averaged across all datasets for individual languages).
Serialized Interacting Mixed Membership Stochastic Block Model
Poux-Médard, Gaël, Velcin, Julien, Loudcher, Sabine
Last years have seen a regain of interest for the use of stochastic block modeling (SBM) in recommender systems. These models are seen as a flexible alternative to tensor decomposition techniques that are able to handle labeled data. Recent works proposed to tackle discrete recommendation problems via SBMs by considering larger contexts as input data and by adding second order interactions between contexts' related elements. In this work, we show that these models are all special cases of a single global framework: the Serialized Interacting Mixed membership Stochastic Block Model (SIMSBM). It allows to model an arbitrarily large context as well as an arbitrarily high order of interactions. We demonstrate that SIMSBM generalizes several recent SBM-based baselines. Besides, we demonstrate that our formulation allows for an increased predictive power on six real-world datasets.
Toward Safe and Accelerated Deep Reinforcement Learning for Next-Generation Wireless Networks
Nagib, Ahmad M., Abou-zeid, Hatem, Hassanein, Hossam S.
Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms have recently gained wide attention in the wireless networks domain. They are considered promising approaches for solving dynamic radio resource management (RRM) problems in next-generation networks. Given their capabilities to build an approximate and continuously updated model of the wireless network environments, DRL algorithms can deal with the multifaceted complexity of such environments. Nevertheless, several challenges hinder the practical adoption of DRL in commercial networks. In this article, we first discuss two key practical challenges that are faced but rarely tackled when developing DRL-based RRM solutions. We argue that it is inevitable to address these DRL-related challenges for DRL to find its way to RRM commercial solutions. In particular, we discuss the need to have safe and accelerated DRL-based RRM solutions that mitigate the slow convergence and performance instability exhibited by DRL algorithms. We then review and categorize the main approaches used in the RRM domain to develop safe and accelerated DRL-based solutions. Finally, a case study is conducted to demonstrate the importance of having safe and accelerated DRL-based RRM solutions. We employ multiple variants of transfer learning (TL) techniques to accelerate the convergence of intelligent radio access network (RAN) slicing DRL-based controllers. We also propose a hybrid TL-based approach and sigmoid function-based rewards as examples of safe exploration in DRL-based RAN slicing.
Knowledge Is Flat: A Seq2Seq Generative Framework for Various Knowledge Graph Completion
Chen, Chen, Wang, Yufei, Li, Bing, Lam, Kwok-Yan
Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC) has been recently extended to multiple knowledge graph (KG) structures, initiating new research directions, e.g. static KGC, temporal KGC and few-shot KGC. Previous works often design KGC models closely coupled with specific graph structures, which inevitably results in two drawbacks: 1) structure-specific KGC models are mutually incompatible; 2) existing KGC methods are not adaptable to emerging KGs. In this paper, we propose KG-S2S, a Seq2Seq generative framework that could tackle different verbalizable graph structures by unifying the representation of KG facts into "flat" text, regardless of their original form. To remedy the KG structure information loss from the "flat" text, we further improve the input representations of entities and relations, and the inference algorithm in KG-S2S. Experiments on five benchmarks show that KG-S2S outperforms many competitive baselines, setting new state-of-the-art performance. Finally, we analyze KG-S2S's ability on the different relations and the Non-entity Generations.
Continual Learning with Dependency Preserving Hypernetworks
Chandra, Dupati Srikar, Varshney, Sakshi, Srijith, P. K., Gupta, Sunil
Humans learn continually throughout their lifespan by accumulating diverse knowledge and fine-tuning it for future tasks. When presented with a similar goal, neural networks suffer from catastrophic forgetting if data distributions across sequential tasks are not stationary over the course of learning. An effective approach to address such continual learning (CL) problems is to use hypernetworks which generate task dependent weights for a target network. However, the continual learning performance of existing hypernetwork based approaches are affected by the assumption of independence of the weights across the layers in order to maintain parameter efficiency. To address this limitation, we propose a novel approach that uses a dependency preserving hypernetwork to generate weights for the target network while also maintaining the parameter efficiency. We propose to use recurrent neural network (RNN) based hypernetwork that can generate layer weights efficiently while allowing for dependencies across them. In addition, we propose novel regularisation and network growth techniques for the RNN based hypernetwork to further improve the continual learning performance. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods, we conducted experiments on several image classification continual learning tasks and settings. We found that the proposed methods based on the RNN hypernetworks outperformed the baselines in all these CL settings and tasks.
Minibatch Stochastic Three Points Method for Unconstrained Smooth Minimization
Boucherouite, Soumia, Malinovsky, Grigory, Richtárik, Peter, Bergou, EL Houcine
In this paper, we propose a new zero order optimization method called minibatch stochastic three points (MiSTP) method to solve an unconstrained minimization problem in a setting where only an approximation of the objective function evaluation is possible. It is based on the recently proposed stochastic three points (STP) method (Bergou et al., 2020). At each iteration, MiSTP generates a random search direction in a similar manner to STP, but chooses the next iterate based solely on the approximation of the objective function rather than its exact evaluations. We also analyze our method's complexity in the nonconvex and convex cases and evaluate its performance on multiple machine learning tasks.
Interactions in Information Spread
Since the development of writing 5000 years ago, human-generated data gets produced at an ever-increasing pace. Classical archival methods aimed at easing information retrieval. Nowadays, archiving is not enough anymore. The amount of data that gets generated daily is beyond human comprehension, and appeals for new information retrieval strategies. Instead of referencing every single data piece as in traditional archival techniques, a more relevant approach consists in understanding the overall ideas conveyed in data flows. To spot such general tendencies, a precise comprehension of the underlying data generation mechanisms is required. In the rich literature tackling this problem, the question of information interaction remains nearly unexplored. First, we investigate the frequency of such interactions. Building on recent advances made in Stochastic Block Modelling, we explore the role of interactions in several social networks. We find that interactions are rare in these datasets. Then, we wonder how interactions evolve over time. Earlier data pieces should not have an everlasting influence on ulterior data generation mechanisms. We model this using dynamic network inference advances. We conclude that interactions are brief. Finally, we design a framework that jointly models rare and brief interactions based on Dirichlet-Hawkes Processes. We argue that this new class of models fits brief and sparse interaction modelling. We conduct a large-scale application on Reddit and find that interactions play a minor role in this dataset. From a broader perspective, our work results in a collection of highly flexible models and in a rethinking of core concepts of machine learning. Consequently, we open a range of novel perspectives both in terms of real-world applications and in terms of technical contributions to machine learning.
