Abstract: This disclosure is related to determining an item push list for a user based on a reinforcement learning model. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining M first item lists that have been predetermined for a first user. Each first item list includes i?1 items. For each first item list, an ith state feature vector is obtained. The ith state feature vector includes a static feature and a dynamic feature. The ith state feature vector is provided as input to the reinforcement machine learning model. The reinforcement model outputs a weight vector including weights of sorting features. A sorting feature vector of each item in a candidate item set corresponding to the first item list is obtained. The sorting feature vector includes feature values of sorting features. M updated item lists are determined for the first item lists based on a score for each item in M candidate item sets.
Abstract: Triage of training data for acceleration of large-scale machine learning is provided. In various embodiments, training input from a set of training data is provided to an artificial neural network. The artificial neural network comprises a plurality of output neurons. Each output neuron corresponds to a class. From the artificial neural network, output values are determined at each of the plurality of output neurons. From the output values, a classification of the training input by the artificial neural network is determined. A confidence value of the classification is determined. Based on the confidence value, a probability of inclusion of the training input in subsequent training is determined. A subset of the set of training data is determined based on the probability. The artificial neural network is trained based on the subset.

Abstract: An automated way of learning archetypes which capture many aspects of entity behavior, and assigning entities to a mixture of archetypes, such that each entity is represented as a distribution across multiple archetypes. Given those representations in archetypes, anomalous behavior can be detected by finding misalignment with a plurality of entities archetype clustering within a hard segmentation. Extensions to sequence modeling are also discussed. Applications of this method include anti-money laundering (where the entities can be customers and accounts, as described extensively below), retail banking fraud detection, network security, and general anomaly detection.

Abstract: Described herein is a system for automatically detecting invalid events in a distributed computing environment. The system for automatically detecting invalid events may include sub-systems and a learning engine. The learning engine may generate a rule set for each sub-system specifying circumstances under which an event is considered invalid specific to the sub-system using machine learning. Sub-systems may detect an invalid event being propagated through the distributed computing environment based on a set of rules specifying circumstances under which an event is considered invalid specific to the sub-system and/or metadata of the event.

Abstract: Off-line deep neural network operations on client computing platforms may be enabled by cooperative machine learning across multiple client computing platforms and the cloud. A given client computing platform may include a client-side machine learning model configured to facilitate deep neural network operations on structured data. The operations may be performed by a client application installed on the given client computing platform. The client application may locally access the client-side machine learning model in order to perform the operations. Deep neural network operations on structured data may be performed at one or more servers. Sharing of model states may be facilitated between the cloud machine learning model and the client-side machine learning model. The cloud machine learning model may be improved, at one or more servers, based on usage of the application and user interactions with the given client computing platform.

Abstract: A method for predicting information propagation in a social network includes acquiring target information to be predicted, and acquiring influences of K clusters, where the target information is posted or forwarded by a first user at a first moment, and K is a positive integer; determining a role probability distribution of the first user, and determining a second user who has not propagated the target information, where the role probability distribution of the first user is used to indicate probabilities that the first user belongs separately to the K clusters; and determining, according to the influences of the K clusters and the role probability distribution of the first user, a probability that the second user forwards the target information from the first user. In the embodiments of the present application, propagation of target information in a social network can be predicted by using influences of K clusters.

Abstract: Disclosed is an online system that infers interests of unresolved users for whom the interests are not known. The online system determines certain features about the unresolved users, but does not have certain information about the users themselves (e.g., their interests), so instead infers these attributes based on the features of the user. The online system provides the features as input to a classifier trained to predict a particular interest, and the classifier outputs a prediction of whether the user has the corresponding interest. In one embodiment, the online system trains a classifier for various interest values by forming training sets for the interests using the features for users who are logged into the online system and hence have known interests.
