Text-Based Interactive Recommendation via Constraint-Augmented Reinforcement Learning
Ruiyi Zhang, Tong Yu, Yilin Shen, Hongxia Jin, Changyou Chen
However, recommendations can easily violate preferences of users from their past natural-language feedback, since the recommender needs to explore new items for further improvement.

First provide a summary of the paper, and then address the following criteria: Quality, clarity, originality and significance. The paper under review, Optimizing Energy Production Using Policy Search describes a policy search algorithm for optimizing the energy production in a hydroelectric power plant. First, the problem is specified with a model of the system, the goal and the constraints. Afterwards, a predictive state representation is introduced for the inflow process. Finally, a policy search algorithm based on a random local search is presented and evaluated on a dataset of a real power-plant.
Convolutional Networks on Graphs for Learning Molecular Fingerprints
We introduce a convolutional neural network that operates directly on graphs. These networks allow end-to-end learning of prediction pipelines whose inputs are graphs of arbitrary size and shape. The architecture we present generalizes standard molecular feature extraction methods based on circular fingerprints. We show that these data-driven features are more interpretable, and have better predictive performance on a variety of tasks.

Probabilistic Time Series Forecasting with Structured Shape and Temporal Diversity Vincent Le Guen
Probabilistic forecasting consists in predicting a distribution of possible future outcomes. In this paper, we address this problem for non-stationary time series, which is very challenging yet crucially important. We introduce the STRIPE model for representing structured diversity based on shape and time features, ensuring both probable predictions while being sharp and accurate.
Swap your boiler for a money-saving heat pump
Heat pumps can save you about $370 per year and are good for the planet. Heat pumps date back to the 1850s and are more energy efficient than furnaces or boilers. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Colder weather is quickly approaching, which means it's time for many folks to start cranking up the heat in their homes and apartments. But for many Americans, heating up their homes is a costly affair-and it's only getting more expensive.
