Real-world recommender system needs to be regularly retrained to keep with the new data. In this work, we consider how to efficiently retrain graph convolution network (GCN) based recommender models, which are state-of-the-art techniques for collaborative recommendation. To pursue high efficiency, we set the target as using only new data for model updating, meanwhile not sacrificing the recommendation accuracy compared with full model retraining. This is non-trivial to achieve, since the interaction data participates in both the graph structure for model construction and the loss function for model learning, whereas the old graph structure is not allowed to use in model updating. Towards the goal, we propose a \textit{Causal Incremental Graph Convolution} approach, which consists of two new operators named \textit{Incremental Graph Convolution} (IGC) and \textit{Colliding Effect Distillation} (CED) to estimate the output of full graph convolution. In particular, we devise simple and effective modules for IGC to ingeniously combine the old representations and the incremental graph and effectively fuse the long-term and short-term preference signals. CED aims to avoid the out-of-date issue of inactive nodes that are not in the incremental graph, which connects the new data with inactive nodes through causal inference. In particular, CED estimates the causal effect of new data on the representation of inactive nodes through the control of their collider. Extensive experiments on three real-world datasets demonstrate both accuracy gains and significant speed-ups over the existing retraining mechanism.

First published on my Substack. In 2017, I had two choices: AI or Crypto. There were 2 job offers in front of me. One was a software company that specialized in AI-driven decisioning, and one was a startup in the emerging field of cryptocurrency and was building something on the blockchain protocol.

I read Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari in 2016 and beyond a shadow of a doubt, it is one of the most influential books I've ever read. At the time, I was a snot-nosed college student who was still dating someone from high school. The numbers and figures given by the book about online dating success struck me as being callous. Millennials and their predecessors were blessed and cursed with the advent of the internet. The proliferation of partner-choice desensitizes us and gives us unrealistic expectations when it came to searching for our "soulmate." Instead of feeling dissuaded, I felt inspired.

With advancing technology, there has been a drastic growth of technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. More increasingly AI has become a driving force that is transforming the virtual world day by day. This has become thousands of start-ups coming up every single day based on AI or its AI tools ranging from Siri to auto-journalism. Everything is being operated with the help of AI and ML. And with AI entering all sectors it has also started to transform the educational sector which is traditional in nature. AI tools for education that are intelligent, adaptive, encouraging personalized learning systems are being deployed in all the educational institutions such as schools, colleges, and universities across the globe for analyzing huge amounts of data collected from the students that can significantly impact the lives of students and educators.

Alexa, Siri and Cortana may sound like the top three hipster baby names in 2021, but they are actually Amazon, Apple and Microsoft's virtual assistants. In recent years, we have experienced a boom in speech recognition tools that understand what we are saying. And soon they could also understand how we are feeling. The list of companies working on the development of emotion recognition technology is growing exponentially, and investors appear to be excited when it comes to emotionally intelligent tech. The industry is undoubtedly booming, with estimates predicting that the global emotional intelligence market will grow to $64m by 2027. The most common form of emotion detection software uses cameras to record and analyse facial expressions, body movements and gestures to detect how people are feeling.

Samsung may have announced a bunch of new devices this week, but it was Apple and Amazon that led the week when it came to online deals. While Woot's flash sale on the Apple Watch Series 6 Product Red Edition came and went quickly, you can still get the smartwatch for $299 at Amazon. The Mac Mini M1 got a $100 discount while a number of Echo devices went on sale as well -- including the new, second-generation Echo Show 5. And through Sunday, you can save on laptops, tablets, TVs and more in Best Buy's anniversary sale. Here are the best tech deals from this week that you can still get today.

I am sure a number of you have heard about machine learning. A dozen of you might even know what it is. And a couple of you might have worked with machine learning algorithms too. You see where this is going? Not a lot of people are familiar with the technology that will be absolutely essential 5 years from now.

Why is Artificial Intelligence important? Artificial intelligence can cover almost everything from search engine algorithms to robotics. Complex tasks, including those requiring human intelligence, can be accomplished by these machines. AI uses a variety of approaches such as deep learning and machine learning to make things more natural. At the heart of artificial intelligence is the computer science industry, which goal is to create or reproduce human intelligence in machines.
