Latent factor analysis models are an effective type of machine learning model for addressing high-dimensional and sparse matrices, which are encountered in many big-data-related industrial applications. The performance of a latent factor analysis model relies heavily on appropriate hyper-parameters. However, most hyper-parameters are data-dependent, and using grid-search to tune these hyper-parameters is truly laborious and expensive in computational terms. Hence, how to achieve efficient ...

A dynamic network is frequently encountered in various real industrial applications, such as the Internet of Things. It is composed of numerous nodes and large-scale dynamic real-time interactions among them, where each node indicates a specified entity, each directed link indicates a real-time interaction, and the strength of an interaction can be quantified as the weight of a link. As the involved nodes increase drastically, it becomes impossible to observe their full interactions at eac...
