Freshness-Aware Thompson Sampling

چکیده
To follow the dynamicity of the user’s content, researchers have recently started to model interactions between users and the ContextAware Recommender Systems (CARS) as a bandit problem where the system needs to deal with exploration and exploitation dilemma. In this sense, we propose to study the freshness of the user’s content in CARS through the bandit problem. We introduce in this paper an algorithm named Freshness-Aware Thompson Sampling (FA-TS) that manages the recommendation of fresh document according to the user’s risk of the situation. The intensive evaluation and the detailed analysis of the experimental results reveals several important discoveries in the exploration/exploitation (exr/exp) behaviour.

Horvitz-Thompson estimator of population mean under inverse sampling designs
Inverse sampling design is generally considered to be appropriate technique when the population is divided into two subpopulations, one of which contains only few units. In this paper, we derive the Horvitz-Thompson estimator for the population mean under inverse sampling designs, where subpopulation sizes are known. We then introduce an alternative unbiased estimator, corresponding to post-st...
متن کاملThe leganet system: Freshness-aware transaction routing in a database cluster
We consider the use of a database cluster for Application Service Provider (ASP). In the ASP context, applications and databases can be update-intensive and must remain autonomous. In this paper, we describe the Leganet system which performs freshness-aware transaction routing in a database cluster. We use multi-master replication and relaxed replica freshness to increase load balancing. Our tr...
متن کاملFreshness-Aware Scheduling of Continuous Queries in the Dynamic Web
The dynamics of the Web and the demand for new, active services are imposing new requirements on Web servers. One such new service is the processing of continuous queries whose output data stream can be used to support the personalization of individual user’s web pages. In this paper, we are proposing a new scheduling policy for continuous queries with the objective of maximizing the freshness ...
متن کاملInfluence of luminance distribution on the appetizingly fresh appearance of cabbage.
We investigated the effect that the parameters of luminance distribution in fresh food have on our visual perception of its freshness. We took pictures of the degradation over 32 h in freshness of a cabbage. We used original images, which were patches of the pictures taken at different sampling hours, and artificially generated pictures, called "matched images," created by fitting the luminance...
متن کاملEstimating evolution of freshness in Internet cache directories under the capture-recapture methodology
1 Abstract— In this paper, we describe a new web sampling schema for measuring the evolution of freshness in search engines. The methodology used is the capture-recapture, which is mainly applied for estimating evolution rates in wildlife biological studies. After modifications and amendments necessary for web paradigm application, we conducted three capture-recapture experiments of different d...
