Q: Collaborative data consist of ratings relating two distinct sets of objects: users and items. Much of the work with such data focuses on filtering: predicting unknown ratings for pairs of users and items. In this paper we focus on the problem of visualizing the information. Given all of the ratings, our task is to embed all of the users and items as points in the same Euclidean space. We would like to place users near items that they have rated (or would rate) high, and far away from those they would give low ratings. We pose this problem as a real-valued non-linear Bayesian network and employ Markov chain Monte Carlo and expectation maximization to find an embedding. We present a metric by which to judge the quality of a visualization and compare our results to Eigentaste, locally linear embedding and cooccurrence data embedding on three real-world datasets.

Q: Diagnosis of liver infection at preliminary stage is important for better treatment. In today’s scenario devices like sensors are used for detection of infections. Accurate classification techniques are required for automatic identification of disease samples. In this context, this study utilizes data mining approaches for classification of liver patients from healthy individuals. Four algorithms (Naïve Bayes, Bagging, Random forest and SVM) were implemented for classification using R platform. Further to improve the accuracy of classification a hybrid NeuroSVM model was developed using SVM and feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN). The hybrid model was tested for its performance using statistical parameters like root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The model resulted in a prediction accuracy of 98.83%. The results suggested that development of hybrid model improved the accuracy of prediction. To serve the medicinal community for prediction of liver disease among patients, a graphical user interface (GUI) has been developed using R. The GUI is deployed as a package in local repository of R platform for users to perform prediction.

Q: For computer vision applications, prior works have shown the efficacy of reducing numeric precision of model parameters (network weights) in deep neural networks but also that reducing the precision of activations hurts model accuracy much more than reducing the precision of model parameters. We study schemes to train networks from scratch using reduced-precision activations without hurting the model accuracy. We reduce the precision of activation maps (along with model parameters) using a novel quantization scheme and increase the number of filter maps in a layer, and find that this scheme compensates or surpasses the accuracy of the baseline full-precision network. As a result, one can significantly reduce the dynamic memory footprint, memory bandwidth, computational energy and speed up the training and inference process with appropriate hardware support. We call our scheme WRPN wide reduced-precision networks. We report results using our proposed schemes and show that our results are better than previously reported accuracies on ILSVRC-12 dataset while being computationally less expensive compared to previously reported reduced-precision networks.
