Artificial Intelligence in digital marketing?
In today's blog we will talk about the most important topic of digital marketing which is emerging rapidly. And it is artificial intelligence that is increasingly used in digital marketing. Artificial intelligence is reworking digital selling. AI is going on to some extent within the world of digital selling and in future conjointly it will produce panic within the world of digital selling. From startups to massive firms, they're designing their campaigns and victimization AI high-powered digital selling tools to reinforce deciding.
Dueling Bandits with Adversarial Sleeping
Saha, Aadirupa, Gaillard, Pierre
We introduce the problem of sleeping dueling bandits with stochastic preferences and adversarial availabilities (DB-SPAA). In almost all dueling bandit applications, the decision space often changes over time; eg, retail store management, online shopping, restaurant recommendation, search engine optimization, etc. Surprisingly, this `sleeping aspect' of dueling bandits has never been studied in the literature. Like dueling bandits, the goal is to compete with the best arm by sequentially querying the preference feedback of item pairs. The non-triviality however results due to the non-stationary item spaces that allow any arbitrary subsets items to go unavailable every round. The goal is to find an optimal `no-regret' policy that can identify the best available item at each round, as opposed to the standard `fixed best-arm regret objective' of dueling bandits. We first derive an instance-specific lower bound for DB-SPAA $\Omega( \sum_{i =1}^{K-1}\sum_{j=i+1}^K \frac{\log T}{\Delta(i,j)})$, where $K$ is the number of items and $\Delta(i,j)$ is the gap between items $i$ and $j$. This indicates that the sleeping problem with preference feedback is inherently more difficult than that for classical multi-armed bandits (MAB). We then propose two algorithms, with near optimal regret guarantees. Our results are corroborated empirically.
HCGR: Hyperbolic Contrastive Graph Representation Learning for Session-based Recommendation
Guo, Naicheng, Liu, Xiaolei, Li, Shaoshuai, Ma, Qiongxu, Zhao, Yunan, Han, Bing, Zheng, Lin, Gao, Kaixin, Guo, Xiaobo
Session-based recommendation (SBR) learns users' preferences by capturing the short-term and sequential patterns from the evolution of user behaviors. Among the studies in the SBR field, graph-based approaches are a relatively powerful kind of way, which generally extract item information by message aggregation under Euclidean space. However, such methods can't effectively extract the hierarchical information contained among consecutive items in a session, which is critical to represent users' preferences. In this paper, we present a hyperbolic contrastive graph recommender (HCGR), a principled session-based recommendation framework involving Lorentz hyperbolic space to adequately capture the coherence and hierarchical representations of the items. Within this framework, we design a novel adaptive hyperbolic attention computation to aggregate the graph message of each user's preference in a session-based behavior sequence. In addition, contrastive learning is leveraged to optimize the item representation by considering the geodesic distance between positive and negative samples in hyperbolic space. Extensive experiments on four real-world datasets demonstrate that HCGR consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines by 0.43$\%$-28.84$\%$ in terms of $HitRate$, $NDCG$ and $MRR$.
Machine Learning Project - Creating Movies Recommendation Engine using Apache Spark - Projects Based Learning
In this project, we will generate top 10 movie recommendations for each user as well as generate top 10 user recommendations for each movie. Welcome to this project on creating Movies Recommendation Engine using Apache Spark Machine Learning using Databricks platform community edition server which allows you to execute your spark code, free of cost on their server just by registering through email id. In this project, we explore Apache Spark and Machine Learning on the Databricks platform. I am a firm believer that the best way to learn is by doing. That's why I haven't included any purely theoretical lectures in this tutorial: you will learn everything on the way and be able to put it into practice straight away.
Building Similarity Based Recommendation System
In this project, you will learn how similarity based collaborative filtering recommendation systems work, how you can collect data for building such systems. You will learn what are some different ways you to compute similarity between users and recommend items based on products interacted by other similar users. You will learn to create user item interactions matrix from the original dataset and also how to recommend items to a new user who does not have any historical interactions with the items. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region.
Cryptocurrency scam costs online dating user ยฃ20,000
In early May, James Evans* met a man on the dating app Grindr. The man, who said his name was David, was friendly and chatty. "It started off as a normal conversation," says Evans. "We moved to WhatsApp and exchanged messages. After a few days he started telling me about crypto trading and how he could show me how it worked and how I could earn money from it. It seemed like a genuine connection."
The Future of Business and Chatbots
The future of marketing is here, and it's not just the robots that will be writing content for you. It's artificial intelligence, or ai. You may think that this isn't possible because robots can't do things like emotional resonance and creativity but ai has been around for a while now. I'm talking about chatbots- computer programs designed to simulate conversation with human beings through text or speech interfaces to solve problems, answer questions, or fulfill customer requests via various digital channels like social media platforms. This article will explore how Chatbots and Ai are the future of marketing and why they're crucial for your business.
Tech: Amazon urged to rename its personal assistant because children called Alexa are being BULLIED
Amazon is being urged to rename its personal assistant because girls also named Alexa are being relentlessly bullied by other schoolchildren, their parents say. The Alexa assistant -- which was launched in 2014, but only had its UK debut in 2016 -- can increasingly be found in homes via Amazon's Echo and Echo Dot devices. Not only is the AI-powered system named Alexa, it is also the default'wake word' used to alert Amazon devices that an instruction or question will follow. However, this has led to individuals named Alexa becoming the butt of recurring jokes in which their name is shouted, followed by a command. The assistant's granting of a name shared by real people has resulted in movements such as'Alexa is a Human' -- which is lobbying Amazon to reconsider the choice.
The best July 4th tech deals we could find
As the holiday weekend approaches, deals on the latest gadgets have been popping up across the web. Apple's 10.2-inch iPad is $30 off right now and Solo Stove, the maker of compact, stainless steel fire pits, has knocked $120 off most of its devices. We even have a few holdouts from Amazon Prime Day still available, like deals on Anker's Eufy RoboVac 11S and a two-pack Nest WiFi system. Here are the best July 4th tech deals we could find. The 10.2-inch iPad remains on sale for $299, or $30 off its normal price.
Lithuanian Airports now offer customers a seamless travel search with an AI Assistant
Lithuanian Airports has integrated the Eddy Travels artificial intelligence (AI) assistant to help travelers plan their trips seamlessly. The AI assistant is now available on Vilnius Airport, Kaunas Airport, and Palanga Airport websites. Lithuania is one of the first countries globally to have an AI-powered travel assistant on national airport websites. A record number of new destinations will be offered by Lithuanian Airports this summer. Holiday seekers can choose from almost 80 direct flight routes from the country's airports.
