Paper-reviewer recommendation task is of significant academic importance for conference chairs and journal editors. How to effectively and accurately recommend reviewers for the submitted papers is a meaningful and still tough task. In this paper, we propose a Multi-Label Classification method using a hierarchical and transparent Representation named Hiepar-MLC. Further, we propose a simple multi-label-based reviewer assignment MLBRA strategy to select the appropriate reviewers. It is interesting that we also explore the paper-reviewer recommendation in the coarse-grained granularity.
Searching for papers from different academic databases is the most commonly used method by research beginners to obtain cross-domain technical solutions. However, it is usually inefficient and sometimes even useless because traditional search methods neither consider knowledge heterogeneity in different domains nor build the bottom layer of search, including but not limited to the characteristic description text of target solutions and solutions to be excluded. To alleviate this problem, a novel paper recommendation method is proposed herein by introducing master-slave domain knowledge graphs, which not only help users express their requirements more accurately but also helps the recommendation system better express knowledge. Specifically, it is not restricted by the cold start problem and is a challenge-oriented method. To identify the rationality and usefulness of the proposed method, we selected two cross-domains and three different academic databases for verification. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining new technical papers in the cross-domain scenario by research beginners using the proposed method. Further, a new research paradigm for research beginners in the early stages is proposed herein.
Globally, recommendation services have become important due to the fact that they support e-commerce applications and different research communities. Recommender systems have a large number of applications in many fields including economic, education, and scientific research. Different empirical studies have shown that recommender systems are more effective and reliable than keyword-based search engines for extracting useful knowledge from massive amounts of data. The problem of recommending similar scientific articles in scientific community is called scientific paper recommendation. Scientific paper recommendation aims to recommend new articles or classical articles that match researchers interests. It has become an attractive area of study since the number of scholarly papers increases exponentially. In this survey, we first introduce the importance and advantages of paper recommender systems. Second, we review the recommendation algorithms and methods, such as Content-Based methods, Collaborative Filtering methods, Graph-Based methods and Hybrid methods. Then, we introduce the evaluation methods of different recommender systems. Finally, we summarize open issues in the paper recommender systems, including cold start, sparsity, scalability, privacy, serendipity and unified scholarly data standards. The purpose of this survey is to provide comprehensive reviews on scholarly paper recommendation.
CNNs, RNNs, GCNs, and CapsNets have shown significant insights in representation learning and are widely used in various text mining tasks such as large-scale multi-label text classification. However, most existing deep models for multi-label text classification consider either the non-consecutive and long-distance semantics or the sequential semantics, but how to consider them both coherently is less studied. In addition, most existing methods treat output labels as independent methods, but ignore the hierarchical relations among them, leading to useful semantic information loss. In this paper, we propose a novel hierarchical taxonomy-aware and attentional graph capsule recurrent CNNs framework for large-scale multi-label text classification. Specifically, we first propose to model each document as a word order preserved graph-of-words and normalize it as a corresponding words-matrix representation which preserves both the non-consecutive, long-distance and local sequential semantics. Then the words-matrix is input to the proposed attentional graph capsule recurrent CNNs for more effectively learning the semantic features. To leverage the hierarchical relations among the class labels, we propose a hierarchical taxonomy embedding method to learn their representations, and define a novel weighted margin loss by incorporating the label representation similarity. Extensive evaluations on three datasets show that our model significantly improves the performance of large-scale multi-label text classification by comparing with state-of-the-art approaches.
Recently, using different channels to model social semantic information, and using self-supervised learning tasks to maintain the characteristics of each channel when fusing the information, which has been proven to be a very promising work. However, how to deeply dig out the relationship between different channels and make full use of it while maintaining the uniqueness of each channel is a problem that has not been well studied and resolved in this field. Under such circumstances, this paper explores and verifies the deficiency of directly constructing contrastive learning tasks on different channels with practical experiments and proposes the scheme of interactive modeling and matching representation across different channels. This is the first attempt in the field of recommender systems, we believe the insight of this paper is inspirational to future self-supervised learning research based on multi-channel information. To solve this problem, we propose a cross-channel matching representation model based on attentive interaction, which realizes efficient modeling of the relationship between cross-channel information. Based on this, we also proposed a hierarchical self-supervised learning model, which realized two levels of self-supervised learning within and between channels and improved the ability of self-supervised tasks to autonomously mine different levels of potential information. We have conducted abundant experiments, and many experimental metrics on multiple public data sets show that the method proposed in this paper has a significant improvement compared with the state-of-the-art methods, no matter in the general or cold-start scenario. And in the experiment of model variant analysis, the benefits of the cross-channel matching representation model and the hierarchical self-supervised model proposed in this paper are also fully verified.
Two-sided marketplaces are an important component of many existing Internet services like Airbnb and Amazon, which have both consumers (e.g. users) and producers (e.g. retailers). Traditionally, the recommendation system in these platforms mainly focuses on maximizing customer satisfaction by recommending the most relevant items based on the learned user preference. However, it has been shown in previous works that solely optimizing the satisfaction of customers may lead to unfair exposure of items, which jeopardizes the benefits of producers. To tackle this problem, we propose a fairness-aware recommendation framework by using multi-objective optimization, Multi-FR, to adaptively balance the objectives between consumers and producers. In particular, Multi-FR adopts the multi-gradient descent to generate a Pareto set of solutions, where the most appropriate one is selected from the Pareto set. In addition, four fairness metrics/constraints are applied to make the recommendation results on both the consumer and producer side fair. We extensively evaluate our model on three real-world datasets, comparing with grid-search methods and using a variety of performance metrics. The experimental results demonstrate that Multi-FR can improve the recommendation fairness on both the consumer and producer side with little drop in recommendation quality, also outperforming several state-of-the-art fair ranking approaches.
