Incorporating User Reviews as Implicit Feedback for Improving Recommender Systems

Heshmat Dehkordi, Yasamin 26 August 2014 (has links)
Recommendation systems have become extremely common in recent years due to the ubiquity of information across various applications. Online entertainment (e.g., Netflix), E-commerce (e.g., Amazon, Ebay) and publishing services such as Google News are all examples of services which use recommender systems. Recommendation systems are rapidly evolving in these years, but these methods have fallen short in coping with several emerging trends such as likes or votes on reviews. In this work we have proposed a new method based on collaborative filtering by considering other users' feedback on each review. To validate our approach we have used Yelp data set with more than 335,000 product and service category ratings and 70,817 real users. We present our results using comparative analysis with other well-known recommendation systems for particular categories of users and items. / Graduate / 0984 / 0800 / yheshmat@uvic.ca

A discrete-time robust extended kalman filter for estimation of nonlinear uncertain systems

Kallapur, Abhijit, Aerospace, Civil & Mechanical Engineering, Australian Defence Force Academy, UNSW January 2009 (has links)
This thesis provides a novel approach to the problem of state estimation for discrete-time nonlinear systems in the presence of large model uncertainties. Though classical nonlinear Kalman filters such as the extended Kalman filter (EKF) can handle uncertainties by increasing the value of noise covariances, this is only applicable to systems with small uncertainties. To this end, a discretetime robust extended Kalman filter (REKF) is formulated and applied to examples from the fields of aerospace engineering and signal processing with an emphasis on attitude estimation for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and image processing under the influence of atmospheric turbulence. The robust filter is an approximate set-valued state estimator where the Riccati and filter equations are obtained as an approximate solution to a reverse-time optimal control problem defining the set-valued state estimator. The advantages of the REKF over the classical EKF are investigated for examples from the fields aerospace engineering and signal processing where large model uncertainties are introduced. In the case of small UAVs, an alternative attitude estimation algorithm based on the REKF is proposed in the event of gyroscopic failure and the inability of the vehicle to carry redundant sensors due to limited payload capabilities. In the case of image reconstruction under atmospheric turbulence, a robust pixel-wandering (random shifts) scheme is proposed to aid the process of image reconstruction. Also, problems pertaining to platform vibration analysis for aerospace vehicles and a frequency demodulation process in the presence of channel-induced uncertainties is also discussed.
