Multiple Key-value Strategy in Recommendation Systems Incorporating Large Language Model

Recommendation system (RS) plays significant roles in matching users information needs for Internet applications, and it usually utilizes the vanilla neural network as the backbone to handle embedding details. Recently, the large language model (LLM) has exhibited emergent abilities and achieved great breakthroughs both in the CV and NLP communities. Thus, it is logical to incorporate RS with LLM better, which has become an emerging research direction. Although some existing works have made their contributions to this issue, they mainly consider the single key situation (e.g. historical interactions), especially in sequential recommendation. The situation of multiple key-value data is simply neglected. This significant scenario is mainstream in real practical applications, where the information of users (e.g. age, occupation, etc) and items (e.g. title, category, etc) has more than one key. Therefore, we aim to implement sequential recommendations based on multiple key-value data by incorporating RS with LLM. In particular, we instruct tuning a prevalent open-source LLM (Llama 7B) in order to inject domain knowledge of RS into the pre-trained LLM. Since we adopt multiple key-value strategies, LLM is hard to learn well among these keys. Thus the general and innovative shuffle and mask strategies, as an innovative manner of data argument, are designed. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, extensive experiments are conducted on the popular and suitable dataset MovieLens which contains multiple keys-value. The experimental results demonstrate that our approach can nicely and effectively complete this challenging issue.

Stable and Compact Face Recognition via Unlabeled Data Driven Sparse Representation-Based Classification

Sparse representation-based classification (SRC) has attracted much attention by casting the recognition problem as simple linear regression problem. SRC methods, however, still is limited to enough labeled samples per category, insufficient use of unlabeled samples, and instability of representation. For tackling these problems, an unlabeled data driven inverse projection pseudo-full-space representation-based classification model is proposed with low-rank sparse constraints. The proposed model aims to mine the hidden semantic information and intrinsic structure information of all available data, which is suitable for few labeled samples and proportion imbalance between labeled samples and unlabeled samples problems in frontal face recognition. The mixed Gauss-Seidel and Jacobian ADMM algorithm is introduced to solve the model. The convergence, representation capability and stability of the model are analyzed. Experiments on three public datasets show that the proposed LR-S-PFSRC model achieves stable results, especially for proportion imbalance of samples.

Breast Tumor Classification Based on Decision Information Genes and Inverse Projection Sparse Representation

Microarray gene expression data-based breast tumor classification is an active and challenging issue. In this paper, a robust framework of breast tumor recognition is presented aiming at reducing clinical misdiagnosis rate and exploiting available information in existing samples. A wrapper gene selection method is established from a new perspective of reducing clinical misdiagnosis rate. The further feature selection of information genes is achieved using the modified NMF model, which is rooted in the use of hierarchical learning and layer-wise pre-training strategy in deep learning. For completing the classification, an inverse projection sparse representation (IPSR) model is constructed to exploit information embedded in existing samples, especially in the test ones. Moreover, the IPSR model is optimized through generalized ADMM and the corresponding convergence is analyzed. Extensive experiments on public microarray gene expression datasets show that the proposed method is stable and effective for breast tumor classification. Compared to the latest open literature, there is 14% higher in classification accuracy. Specificity and sensitivity achieve 94.17% and 97.5%, respectively.

Low Rank Variation Dictionary and Inverse Projection Group Sparse Representation Model for Breast Tumor Classification

Sparse representation classification achieves good results by addressing recognition problem with sufficient training samples per subject. However, SRC performs not very well for small sample data. In this paper, an inverse-projection group sparse representation model is presented for breast tumor classification, which is based on constructing low-rank variation dictionary. The proposed low-rank variation dictionary tackles tumor recognition problem from the viewpoint of detecting and using variations in gene expression profiles of normal and patients, rather than directly using these samples. The inverse projection group sparsity representation model is constructed based on taking full using of exist samples and group effect of microarray gene data. Extensive experiments on public breast tumor microarray gene expression datasets demonstrate the proposed technique is competitive with state-of-the-art methods. The results of Breast-1, Breast-2 and Breast-3 databases are 80.81%, 89.10% and 100% respectively, which are better than the latest literature.
