Next-User Retrieval: Enhancing Cold-Start Recommendations via Generative Next-User Modeling
The item cold-start problem is critical for online recommendation systems, as the success of this phase determines whether high-quality new items can transition to popular ones, receive essential feedback to inspire creators, and thus lead to the long-term retention of creators. However, modern recommendation systems still struggle to address item cold-start challenges due to the heavy reliance on item and historical interactions, which are non-trivial for cold-start items lacking sufficient ex…

You'll never become a NATIVE English speaker
No matter how hard you try, the years in the UK or Ireland, the effort in your accent, or the AI applications you might use to fake it
There is a language wall, made of accents, cultural references and seemingly illogical phrasal verbs and idioms, that we cannot jump

FEAST: A Flexible Mealtime-Assistance System Towards In-the-Wild Personalization
Physical caregiving robots hold promise for improving the quality of life of millions worldwide who require assistance with feeding. However, in-home meal assistance remains challenging due to the diversity of activities (e.g., eating, drinking, mouth wiping), contexts (e.g., socializing, watching TV), food items, and user preferences that arise during deployment. In this work, we propose FEAST, a flexible mealtime-assistance system that can be personalized in-the-wild to meet the unique needs …
