Private Alternating Least Squares: Practical Private Matrix Completion with Tighter Rates
Chien, Steve, Jain, Prateek, Krichene, Walid, Rendle, Steffen, Song, Shuang, Thakurta, Abhradeep, Zhang, Li
We study the problem of differentially private (DP) matrix completion under user-level privacy. We design a joint differentially private variant of the popular Alternating-Least-Squares (ALS) method that achieves: i) (nearly) optimal sample complexity for matrix completion (in terms of number of items, users), and ii) the best known privacy/utility trade-off both theoretically, as well as on benchmark data sets. In particular, we provide the first global convergence analysis of ALS with noise introduced to ensure DP, and show that, in comparison to the best known alternative (the Private Frank-Wolfe algorithm by Jain et al. (2018)), our error bounds scale significantly better with respect to the number of items and users, which is critical in practical problems. Extensive validation on standard benchmarks demonstrate that the algorithm, in combination with carefully designed sampling procedures, is significantly more accurate than existing techniques, thus promising to be the first practical DP embedding model.
Artificial Intelligence in Fintech: Understanding Robo-advisors Adoption Among Customers
The influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its application in various industries have brought about a positive outlook on how operations are done in many sectors. In direct contrast to traditional methods, AI is making processes more smooth, beneficial to businesses by reducing overhead costs on labor and human error. AI in financial technology (Fintech) has also seen vast applications and not just in banking and financial management but also in catering to the advisory portion of it. With AI in the mix, Fintech companies can now offer customers 24/7 support along with and reduce operational fees levied for their services. Fintech isn't just for financial institutions but also for businesses that employ financial services as part of their operations.
Hungryroot delivers AI-powered grocery experience
All the sessions from Transform 2021 are available on-demand now. Hungryroot, an AI-powered delivery service, hopes to occupy a similar niche for online groceries in the United States. The recommender system uses a collaborative filtering, supervised learning model to match consumer preferences to foods. Customers answer questions about their dietary habits, the kinds of foods they (and family members) like, the family size, budget, and more. On a weekly basis, the Hungryroot algorithm predicts the groceries the customer might like.
FEBR: Expert-Based Recommendation Framework for beneficial and personalized content
Lechiakh, Mohamed, Maurer, Alexandre
So far, most research on recommender systems focused on maintaining long-term user engagement and satisfaction, by promoting relevant and personalized content. However, it is still very challenging to evaluate the quality and the reliability of this content. In this paper, we propose FEBR (Expert-Based Recommendation Framework), an apprenticeship learning framework to assess the quality of the recommended content on online platforms. The framework exploits the demonstrated trajectories of an expert (assumed to be reliable) in a recommendation evaluation environment, to recover an unknown utility function. This function is used to learn an optimal policy describing the expert's behavior, which is then used in the framework to provide high-quality and personalized recommendations. We evaluate the performance of our solution through a user interest simulation environment (using RecSim). We simulate interactions under the aforementioned expert policy for videos recommendation, and compare its efficiency with standard recommendation methods. The results show that our approach provides a significant gain in terms of content quality, evaluated by experts and watched by users, while maintaining almost the same watch time as the baseline approaches.
4 Ways Conversational AI Can Help Your University
Every year, nearly 20 million students enroll in universities across the United States. Given how important the choice of a college can be for a person's academic and professional career, students understandably have a lotof questions about majors, eligibility, tuition, campus life, faculty, and more, while going through the process of selecting a university. And as universities compete to get on board students who are the right'fit', it is important for them to not only provide the right answers to prospective students' queries but also to effectively communicate precisely what they have to offer. Colleges invest a lot of time and resources in engaging with prospective students -- with US universities spending billions of dollars annually on admissions. But the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown open new challenges for universities, as they now have to find ways to engage with students at a time when in-person interactions, including visits to university campuses and college fairs, will likely not be possible.
