Publication number: 20200344313Abstract: A method and a system for making contextual recommendations to users on a network-based system. For example, activity associated with a user interacting with a network-based system is tracked. Based, at least in part, on the tracked user activity on the network-based system, a recommendation relationship type is selected. The recommendation relationship type can be either a substitute relationship type or a complement relationship type. A recommended object can be selected based at least in part on the recommendation relationship type and a first object accessed by the user interacting with the network-based system. A recommendation can be generated for the recommended object for presentation to the user interacting with the network-based system.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2020Publication date: October 29, 2020Applicant: eBay Inc.Inventors: Alvaro Bolivar, Xiaoyuan Wu, Jiaqian Zheng

Publication number: 20150278685Abstract: A method of using spiking neural network delays to represent sequences includes assigning one or more symbol neurons to each symbol in a dictionary. The method also includes assigning a synapse from each symbol neuron in a group to a particular ngram neuron. A set of synapses associated with the group of symbol neurons comprises a bundle of synapses. In addition, the method includes assigning a delay to each synapse in the bundle. The method further includes representing a symbol sequence based on sequential spiking of symbol neurons and ngram neuron spikes in response to detecting inter event intervals.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2014Publication date: October 1, 2015Inventors: Thomas Jiaqian ZHENG, Jeffrey Clinton SHAW, Harinath GARUDADRI

Publication number: 20150120627Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for causal learning in which logical causes of events are determined based, at least in part, on causal saliency. One example method for causal learning generally includes observing one or more events with an apparatus, wherein the events are defined as occurrences at particular relative times; selecting a subset of the events based on one or more criteria; and determining a logical cause of at least one of the events based on the selected subset.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2014Publication date: April 30, 2015Applicant: QUALCOMM INCORPORATEDInventors: Jason Frank HUNZINGER, Thomas Jiaqian ZHENG

Publication number: 20140258194Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for designing spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) curves whose parameter values are based on a set of equations. One example method generally includes operating an artificial nervous system by determining a set of equations based at least in part on a form of an STDP function defined by one or more parameters, determining values of the parameters for the STDP function based at least in part on the set of equations, and operating at least a portion of the artificial nervous system according to the STDP function having the determined parameter values.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2013Publication date: September 11, 2014Applicant: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Regan Blythe TOWAL, Thomas Jiaqian ZHENG

Patent number: 8756186Abstract: A method and a system for making contextual recommendations to users on a network-based system. For example, a first and second related category are selected and a relationship score is calculated representing an aspect of the relationship between the first and second related categories. A relationship type is selected to represent the relationship between the first and second categories using the relationship score. The relationship type is one of either a complement or a substitute. A complement relationship indicates a complementary relationship between the first and second related categories. While a substitute relationship indicates a substitutionary relationship between the first and second categories. The relationship type is stored associated with the first and second related categories. Using the selected relationship type, a recommendation is provided to a user on the network-based system.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2013Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Alvaro Bolivar, Xiaoyuan Wu, Jiaqian Zheng
