Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has attracted significant attention for enhancing large language models (LLMs) in domain-specific and knowledge-intensive tasks by utilizing external documents retrieved by retrievers. However, LLMs often struggle to determine which retrieved…
Multi-modal Recommender System (MRS) has emerged as a key information retrieval technology, widely adopted to enhance various web platforms. However, three interrelated challenges remain insufficiently explored: (1) noisy multi-modal content, (2) noisy user feedback, and (3) misa…
Recommendation throughout the cold-start period remains a challenge in recommender systems. Strictly cold entities (users/items) have no interactions, while warm-up entities only have a few unreliable interactions. Strict cold-start methods typically overlook warm-up entities, wh…
In recommender systems, user feedback typically follows a long-tail distribution, which leads many recommendation algorithms to exacerbate popularity bias by disproportionately favoring popular items. To mitigate this issue, recent studies have employed Inverse Propensity Scoring…
The conversational recommendation system (CRS) breaks the limitations of traditional static methods, presenting a novel framework for personalized recommendations with real-time adaptability and dynamic interactions. Existing methods predominantly focus on the balance between “ex…
Clusterwise Linear Regression (CLR) integrates clustering and regression to uncover complex relationships within heterogeneous datasets by simultaneously partitioning data and fitting cluster-specific models. This dual capability offers a significant advantage over traditional re…
A novel, thorough manual survey is presented, focusing on the trustworthy extraction and application of temporal features in drone video feeds for object detection and tracking. Trust stems from reducing the necessary scope of opaque, deep components, and externally accounting fo…
