Title: Opportunities and Challenges Facing Recommender Systems: Where Can We Go from Here?

Speaker: Alexander Tuzhilin

 

Abstract

The field of Recommender Systems has experienced extensive growth over the last decade both in the academia and the industry and has established itself as a vibrant and mature research area in data mining and other disciplines. Given all this progress and accomplishments achieved by the field, it is a good time to ask the where-can-we-go-from-here question in order to work on the next generation of recommender systems that will allow us to overcome the limitations that the current generation of these systems is facing.

This talk will address this question and present some of the underexplored directions in the field of recommender systems that present promising research opportunities according to the speaker’s perspective. It will also address the challenges that researchers and practitioners may face pursuing some of these research directions.

Tutorial 1: Methods and Applications of Network Sampling

Speakers: Mohammad A. Hasan (IUPUI), Nesreen K. Ahmed (Purdue), and J. Neville (Purdue)

Location: San Antonio B

Tutorial Time: 10:30 – 12: 30

 

Abstract:

Network data appears in various domains, including social, communication, and information sciences. Analysis of such data is crucial for making inferences and predictions about these networks, and moreover, for understanding the different processes that drive their evolution. However, a major bottleneck to perform such an analysis is the massive size of real-life networks, which makes modeling and analyzing these networks simply infeasible. Further, many networks, specifically those that belong to social and communication domains, are not visible to the public due to privacy concerns, and other networks, such as the Web, are only accessible via crawling. Therefore, to overcome the above challenges, researchers use network sampling overwhelmingly as a key statistical approach to select a sub-population of interest that can be studied thoroughly.

In this tutorial, we aim to cover a diverse collection of methodologies and applications of network sampling. We will begin with a discussion of the problem setting in terms of objectives (such as, sampling a representative subgraph, sampling graphlets, etc.), population of interest (vertices, edges, motifs), and sampling methodologies (such as Metropolis-Hastings, random walk, and snowball sampling). We will then present a number of applications of these methods, and will outline both the resulting opportunities and possible biases of different methods in each application.

Title: Predictive Healthcare Analytics under Privacy Constraints

Speaker: Joydeep Ghosh

 

Abstract
The move to electronic health records is producing a wealth of information, which has the potential of providing unprecedented insights into the cause, prevention, treatment and management of illnesses. Analyses of such data also promises numerous opportunities for much more effective and efficient delivery of healthcare. However (valid) privacy concerns and restrictions prevent unfettered access to such data. In this talk I will first provide a perspective on the privacy vs. utility trade-off in the context of healthcare analytics. I will then  outline two approaches that we have recently and successfully taken that provide privacy-aware predictive modeling with little degradation in model quality despite restrictions on what can be shared or analyzed. The first approach focuses on extracting predictive value from data that has been aggregated at various levels due to privacy concerns, while the second introduces a novel, non-parametric sampler that can generate "realistic but not real" data given a dataset that cannot be shared as is.

Biography

Title: Large-scale Learning in Computational Advertising

Speaker: Jianchang (JC) Mao

Abstract

Online Advertising is one of the fastest growing businesses on the Internet today.  Search engines, web publishers, major ad networks, and ad exchanges are now serving billions of ad impressions per day and generating hundreds of terabytes of user events data every day. The rapid growth of online advertising has created enormous opportunities as well as technical challenges that involve Big Data. Computational Advertising attempts to mine the big data for making optimal ads serving decision in order to maximize a total utility function that captures publisher revenue, user experience and return on investment for advertisers. It has emerged as a new interdisciplinary field that involves information retrieval, machine learning, data mining, statistics, operations research, and micro-economics, to solve challenging problems that arise in online advertising.

In this talk, I will outline a number of major big data learning problems in various aspects of computational advertising, including user/query intent understanding, document/ad understanding, user targeting, ad selection, relevance modeling, user response prediction, keyword recommendation, forecasting, allocation, and marketplace optimization. Then, I will showcase our recent solutions to some of these problems, including query clustering for auction optimization and keyword recommendation. Query clustering for auction optimization is based on KL-divergence between two queries represented by their rank-score distributions under the Gaussian mixture assumption. We derived a variational EM algorithm for minimizing an upper bound of the total within-cluster KL-divergence. These clusters are then used for optimizing auction parameters, which yields significant improvements in marketplace KPIs. Keyword recommendation is formulated as a supervised multi-label random forest learning problem where labels (categories) are tens of millions of keywords and training data is automatically generated from click logs.  Large-scale experiments conducted with 50 million webpages and 10 million keywords extracted from Bing logs showed significant gains in precision at 10 compared to previous ranking and NLP based techniques.
