Band Together: Untargeted Adversarial Training with Multimodal Coordination against Evasion-based Promotion Attacks

Guanmeng Xian, Ning Yang, Philip S. Yu

Multimodal recommender systems exploit visual and textual signals to alleviate data sparsity, but this also makes them more vulnerable to evasion-based promotion attacks. Existing…

Denoised Recommendation Model with Collaborative Signal Decoupling

Zefeng Li, Ning Yang

Although the collaborative filtering (CF) algorithm has achieved remarkable performance in recommendation systems, it suffers from suboptimal recommendation performance due to nois…

Time Lag Aware Sequential Recommendation

Lihua Chen, Ning Yang, Philip S Yu

Although a variety of methods have been proposed for sequential recommendation, it is still far from being well solved partly due to two challenges. First, the existing methods oft…

Learning from Atypical Behavior: Temporary Interest Aware Recommendation Based on Reinforcement Learning

Ziwen Du, Ning Yang, Zhonghua Yu +1

Traditional robust recommendation methods view atypical user-item interactions as noise and aim to reduce their impact with some kind of noise filtering technique, which often suff…

Dual Adversarial Variational Embedding for Robust Recommendation

Qiaomin Yi, Ning Yang, Philip S. Yu

Robust recommendation aims at capturing true preference of users from noisy data, for which there are two lines of methods have been proposed. One is based on noise injection, and…

MLANE: Meta-Learning Based Adaptive Network Embedding

Chen Cui, Ning Yang, Philip S. Yu

Most existing random walk based network embedding methods often follow only one of two principles, homophily or structural equivalence. In real world networks, however, nodes exhib…

Deep Collaborative Embedding for information cascade prediction

Yuhui Zhao, Ning Yang, Tao Lin +1

Recently, information cascade prediction has attracted increasing interest from researchers, but it is far from being well solved partly due to the three defects of the existing wo…
