This document discusses neural graph collaborative filtering. It begins with an overview of recommender systems and collaborative filtering. It then discusses latent factor models, including matrix factorization and neural collaborative filtering (NCF). A key development was neural graph collaborative filtering (NGCF), which uses graph neural networks to model high-order connectivity in the user-item graph to address sparsity issues. NGCF aims to learn better embeddings by propagating user and item information through the graph.

Session-based recommendations with recurrent neural networksZimin Park

��

This document summarizes a research paper on using recurrent neural networks for session-based recommendations. Some key points: - RNNs were first used for session-based recommendations to address issues with previous methods that only considered the last item in a session. RNNs can capture how a session evolves over time. - The model architecture uses GRU units in a recurrent layer. Sessions are handled independently in mini-batches to account for different session lengths. - Sampling is used on model outputs since scoring all items is impractical. Ranking loss functions like Bayesian personalized ranking are used to optimize for ranking. - Experiments on e-commerce and YouTube datasets show the RNN model outperforms baselines like

A quantitative approach to tactical asset allocation (2014)Park JunPyo

��

This document discusses quantitative tactical asset allocation strategies. It summarizes research on using simple moving average (SMA) crossovers to time exposure to various asset classes like stocks, bonds, commodities and real estate. Implementing a global tactical asset allocation (GTAA) approach based on 10-month SMA crossovers achieved equity-like returns with lower volatility and drawdowns compared to a static allocation. Adding alternative weighting schemes like relative strength could further improve risk-adjusted returns. While effective historically, momentum strategies struggled in the 2010s and require ongoing testing with different parameters and asset classes.
