Therefore, LBSNs have accumulated large-scale user check-in data and the availability of these data enables many location-based services to users. As a location-based service, point-of-interests (POI) recommendation can provide services to people and promote merchants. Many researchers utilize user-based collaborative filtering and geographical influence for POI recommendation. However, existing studies have two limitations: (1) when modeling user-based CF, users' POI preferences are not fully considered; (2) when modeling geographical influence, geographical features have not been explored deeply. In this paper, we propose a POI recommendation approach by improved user-based CF and geographical-regional influence. Firstly, we construct the user-POI matrix by normalized check-in frequencies, which can effectively represent user preferences. Secondly, we find that each user's check-in POIs can be divided into several regions. Accordingly, we integrate geographical influence with the regional feature to produce recommendation. Finally, we utilize a unified framework to combine improved user-based CF with geographical-regional influence for POI recommendation. Our experimental results on real-world dataset show that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art POI recommendation methods substantially.","PeriodicalId":252781,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Machine Learning and Soft Computing","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131538412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An accurate classification is preliminary to any kind of intervention. Unfortunately, collecting enough grain discoloration data as well as building and training a machine learning model from scratch is next to impossible due to the lack of hardware infrastructure and finance support. It painfully restricts the needs of rapid solutions to deal with the disease. For this purpose, this paper exploits the idea of transfer learning which is the improvement of learning in a new prediction task through the transfer of knowledge from a related prediction task that has already been learned. By utilizing convolutional neural networks trained with our collected data, our experiment shows that the proposed idea performs perfectly and achieves the classification accuracy of 88.2% with the acceptable training time on a normal laptop.","PeriodicalId":252781,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Machine Learning and Soft Computing","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115814450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, digital coupons have been widely used in e-commerce and distributed to almost everyone. However, the decision on when and whom to issue the coupon is often based on managers' experience and calling for optimization and automation. Collaborated with a leading e-commerce platform, we propose an exploratory constrained reinforcement learning modeling to optimize digital coupon distribution policy under the constraint of maximum offering number. Our experimental results showed that the optimal policy could increase the cumulative total sales about 6% comparing to the original policy of the platform. This work enriches the applications of reinforcement learning in real-world business practices and provides useful implications for future study on constrained reinforcement learning.","PeriodicalId":252781,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Machine Learning and Soft Computing","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116570526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For that we must have a system to collect and monitor residues of antibiotics in the environment. This paper proposes a simulation model to track antibiotic residues along the river with aquaculture sites based on the cellular automata theory.
