Abstract. Alternating least squares (ALS) is a powerful matrix factorization (MF) algorithm for both implicit and explicit feedback based recommender systems. We show that by using...
Feature selection for unsupervised tasks is particularly challenging, especially when dealing with text data. The increase in online documents and email communication creates a nee...

Classifying high-dimensional numerical data is a very challenging problem. In high dimensional feature spaces, the performance of supervised learning methods suffer from the curse...
Feature selection is a critical component of many pattern recognition applications. There are two distinct mechanisms for feature selection, namely the wrapper method and the filt...
When the appearances of the tracked object and surrounding background change during tracking, fixed feature space tends to cause tracking failure. To address this problem, we prop...
