Abstract Point-of-interest (POI) recommendations in location-based social networks (LBSNs) have developed rapidly by incorporating feature information and deep learning methods. However, most studies have failed to accurately reflect different users’ preferences, in particular, the short-term preferences of inactive users. To better learn user preferences, in this study, we propose a long-short-term-preference-based adaptive successive POI recommendation (LSTP-ASR) method by combining trajectory sequence processing, long short-term preference learning, and spatiotemporal context. First, the check-in trajectory sequences are adaptively divided into recent and historical sequences according to a dynamic time window. Subsequently, an adaptive filling strategy is used to… More >

Abstract In the tag recommendation task on academic platforms, existing methods disregard users’ customized preferences in favor of extracting tags based just on the content of the articles. Besides, it uses co-occurrence techniques and tries to combine nodes’ textual content for modelling. They still do not, however, directly simulate many interactions in network learning. In order to address these issues, we present a novel system that more thoroughly integrates user preferences and citation networks into article labelling recommendations. Specifically, we first employ path similarity to quantify the degree of similarity between user labelling preferences and articles… More >

Abstract A deep learning access control model based on user preferences is proposed to address the issue of personal privacy leakage in social networks. Firstly, social users and social data entities are extracted from the social network and used to construct homogeneous and heterogeneous graphs. Secondly, a graph neural network model is designed based on user daily social behavior and daily social data to simulate the dissemination and changes of user social preferences and user personal preferences in the social network. Then, high-order neighbor nodes, hidden neighbor nodes, displayed neighbor nodes, and social data nodes are… More >

Abstract Agricultural investment project selection is a complex multi-criteria decision-making problem, as agricultural projects are easily influenced by various risk factors, and the evaluation information provided by decision-makers usually involves uncertainty and inconsistency. Existing literature primarily employed direct preference elicitation methods to address such issues, necessitating a great cognitive effort on the part of decision-makers during evaluation, specifically, determining the weights of criteria. In this study, we propose an indirect preference elicitation method, known as a preference disaggregation method, to learn decision-maker preference models from decision examples. To enhance evaluation ease, decision-makers merely need to compare… More >

Abstract The recommendation system (RS) on the strength of Graph Neural Networks (GNN) perceives a user-item interaction graph after collecting all items the user has interacted with. Afterward the RS performs neighborhood aggregation on the graph to generate long-term preference representations for the user in quick succession. However, user preferences are dynamic. With the passage of time and some trend guidance, users may generate some short-term preferences, which are more likely to lead to user-item interactions. A GNN recommendation based on long- and short-term preference (LSGNN) is proposed to address the above problems. LSGNN consists of More >

Abstract In the era of artificial intelligence, cognitive computing, based on cognitive science; and supported by machine learning and big data, brings personalization into every corner of our social life. Recommendation systems are essential applications of cognitive computing in educational scenarios. They help learners personalize their learning better by computing student and exercise characteristics using data generated from relevant learning progress. The paper introduces a Learning and Forgetting Convolutional Knowledge Tracking Exercise Recommendation model (LFCKT-ER). First, the model computes studentsʼ ability to understand each knowledge concept, and the learning progress of each knowledge concept, and the… More >

Abstract In previous research on two-sided matching (TSM) decision, agents’ preferences were often given in the form of exact values of ordinal numbers and linguistic phrase term sets. Nowdays, the matching agent cannot perform the exact evaluation in the TSM situations due to the great fuzziness of human thought and the complexity of reality. Probability hesitant fuzzy sets, however, have grown in popularity due to their advantages in communicating complex information. Therefore, this paper develops a TSM decision-making approach with multi-attribute probability hesitant fuzzy sets and unknown attribute weight information. The agent attribute weight vector should… More >

Abstract Promoting the co-constructing and sharing of organizational knowledge and improving organizational performance have always been the core research subject of knowledge management. Existing research focuses on the construction of knowledge management systems and knowledge sharing and transfer mechanisms. With the rapid development and application of cloud computing and big data technology, knowledge management is faced with many problems, such as how to combine with the new generation of information technology, how to achieve integration with organizational business processes, and so on. To solve such problems, this paper proposes a reciprocal collaborative knowledge management model (RCKM… More >

Abstract The hesitancy fuzzy graphs (HFGs), an extension of fuzzy graphs, are useful tools for dealing with ambiguity and uncertainty in issues involving decision-making (DM). This research implements a correlation coefficient measure (CCM) to assess the strength of the association between HFGs in this article since CCMs have a high capacity to process and interpret data. The CCM that is proposed between the HFGs has better qualities than the existing ones. It lowers restrictions on the hesitant fuzzy elements’ length and may be used to establish whether the HFGs are connected negatively or favorably. Additionally, a… More >

Abstract The residential sector contributes a large part of the energy to the global energy balance. To date, housing demand has mostly been uncontrollable and inelastic to grid conditions. Analyzing the performance of a home energy management system requires the creation of various profiles of real-world residential demand, as residential demand is complex and includes multiple factors such as occupancy, climate, user preferences, and appliance types. Average Peak Ratio (A2P) is one of the most important parameters when managing an efficient and cost-effective energy system. At the household level, the larger relative magnitudes of certain energy… More >
