报告摘要:

Matrix completion aims to recover the missing entries of a partially observed low-rank matrix. It has solid theoretical foundations and has achieved remarkable success on a wide range of domains. In this talk, I will present some of my recent research in this area. Specifically, I will first briefly introduce matrix completion, and then talk about using this technique to solve multiple challenging machine learning problems: (i) how to accurately infer mobile users’ location categories purely based on their highly inaccurate location updates; (ii) how to use static learning models to analyze time series data; and (iii) how to make demand-aware recommendations for trillions of (user, item) pairs.
