The classic online facility location problem deals with finding the optimal set of facilities in an online fashion when demand requests arrive one at a time and facilities need to be opened to service these requests. In this work, we study two variants of the online facility location problem; (1) weighted requests and (2) congestion. Both of these variants are motivated by their applications to real life scenarios and the previously known results on online facility location cannot be directly adapted to analyse them. Weighted requests: In this variant, each demand request is a pair $(x,w)$ where $x$ is the standard location of the demand while $w$ is the corresponding weight of the request. The cost of servicing request $(x,w)$ at facility $F$ is $w\cdot d(x,F)$. For this variant, given $n$ requests, we present an online algorithm attaining a competitive ratio of $\mathcal{O}(\log n)$ in the secretarial model for the weighted requests and show that it is optimal. Congestion: The congestion variant considers the case when there is an additional congestion cost that grows with the number of requests served by each facility. For this variant, when the congestion cost is a monomial, we show that there exists an algorithm attaining a constant competitive ratio. This constant is a function of the exponent of the monomial and the facility opening cost but independent of the number of requests.

Remotely sensed data are dominated by mixed Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) types. Spectral unmixing is a technique to extract information from mixed pixels into their constituent LULC types and corresponding abundance fractions. Traditionally, solving this task has relied on either classical methods that require prior knowledge of endmembers or machine learning methods that avoid explicit endmembers calculation, also known as blind spectral unmixing (BSU). Most BSU studies based on Deep Learning (DL) focus on one time-step hyperspectral or multispectral data. To our knowledge, here we provide the first study on BSU of LULC classes using MODIS multispectral time series, in presence of missing data, with end-to-end DL models. We further boost the performance of a Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM)-based model by incorporating geographic plus topographic (geo-topographic) and climatic ancillary information. Our experiments show that combining spectral-temporal input data together with geo-topographic and climatic information substantially improves the abundance estimation of LULC classes in mixed pixels. To carry out this study, we built a new labeled dataset of the region of Andalusia (Spain) with monthly multispectral time series of pixels for the year 2013 from MODIS at 460m resolution, for two hierarchical levels of LULC classes, named Andalusia MultiSpectral MultiTemporal Unmixing (Andalusia-MSMTU). This dataset provides, at the pixel level, a multispectral time series plus ancillary information annotated with the abundance of each LULC class inside each pixel. The dataset (//zenodo.org/record/7752348##.ZBmkkezMLdo) and code (//github.com/jrodriguezortega/MSMTU) are available to the public.

We determine the minimum possible column multiplicity of even, doubly-, and triply-even codes given their length. This refines a classification result for the possible lengths of $q^r$-divisible codes over $\mathbb{F}_q$. We also give a few computational results for field sizes $q>2$. Non-existence results of divisible codes with restricted column multiplicities for a given length have applications e.g. in Galois geometry and can be used for upper bounds on the maximum cardinality of subspace codes.

A new two-parameter discrete distribution, namely the PoiG distribution is derived by the convolution of a Poisson variate and an independently distributed geometric random variable. This distribution generalizes both the Poisson and geometric distributions and can be used for modelling over-dispersed as well as equi-dispersed count data. A number of important statistical properties of the proposed count model, such as the probability generating function, the moment generating function, the moments, the survival function and the hazard rate function. Monotonic properties are studied, such as the log concavity and the stochastic ordering are also investigated in detail. Method of moment and the maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters of the proposed model are presented. It is envisaged that the proposed distribution may prove to be useful for the practitioners for modelling over-dispersed count data compared to its closest competitors.

We establish conditions under which latent causal graphs are nonparametrically identifiable and can be reconstructed from unknown interventions in the latent space. Our primary focus is the identification of the latent structure in measurement models without parametric assumptions such as linearity or Gaussianity. Moreover, we do not assume the number of hidden variables is known, and we show that at most one unknown intervention per hidden variable is needed. This extends a recent line of work on learning causal representations from observations and interventions. The proofs are constructive and introduce two new graphical concepts -- imaginary subsets and isolated edges -- that may be useful in their own right. As a matter of independent interest, the proofs also involve a novel characterization of the limits of edge orientations within the equivalence class of DAGs induced by unknown interventions. These are the first results to characterize the conditions under which causal representations are identifiable without making any parametric assumptions in a general setting with unknown interventions and without faithfulness.

Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) provides asymptotically consistent estimates of intractable posterior expectations as the number of iterations tends to infinity. However, in large data applications, MCMC can be computationally expensive per iteration. This has catalyzed interest in approximating MCMC in a manner that improves computational speed per iteration but does not produce asymptotically consistent estimates. In this article, we propose estimators based on couplings of Markov chains to assess the quality of such asymptotically biased sampling methods. The estimators give empirical upper bounds of the Wasserstein distance between the limiting distribution of the asymptotically biased sampling method and the original target distribution of interest. We establish theoretical guarantees for our upper bounds and show that our estimators can remain effective in high dimensions. We apply our quality measures to stochastic gradient MCMC, variational Bayes, and Laplace approximations for tall data and to approximate MCMC for Bayesian logistic regression in 4500 dimensions and Bayesian linear regression in 50000 dimensions.

This paper proposes two innovative vector transport operators, leveraging the Cayley transform, for the generalized Stiefel manifold embedded with a non-standard inner product. Specifically, it introduces the differentiated retraction and an approximation of the Cayley transform to the differentiated matrix exponential. These vector transports are demonstrated to satisfy the Ring-Wirth non-expansive condition under non-standard metrics while preserving isometry. Building upon the novel vector transport operators, we extend the modified Polak-Ribi$\acute{e}$re-Polyak (PRP) conjugate gradient method to the generalized Stiefel manifold. Under a non-monotone line search condition, we prove our algorithm globally converges to a stationary point. The efficiency of the proposed vector transport operators is empirically validated through numerical experiments involving generalized eigenvalue problems and canonical correlation analysis.

Search in social networks such as Facebook poses different challenges than in classical web search: besides the query text, it is important to take into account the searcher's context to provide relevant results. Their social graph is an integral part of this context and is a unique aspect of Facebook search. While embedding-based retrieval (EBR) has been applied in eb search engines for years, Facebook search was still mainly based on a Boolean matching model. In this paper, we discuss the techniques for applying EBR to a Facebook Search system. We introduce the unified embedding framework developed to model semantic embeddings for personalized search, and the system to serve embedding-based retrieval in a typical search system based on an inverted index. We discuss various tricks and experiences on end-to-end optimization of the whole system, including ANN parameter tuning and full-stack optimization. Finally, we present our progress on two selected advanced topics about modeling. We evaluated EBR on verticals for Facebook Search with significant metrics gains observed in online A/B experiments. We believe this paper will provide useful insights and experiences to help people on developing embedding-based retrieval systems in search engines.

Hashing has been widely used in approximate nearest search for large-scale database retrieval for its computation and storage efficiency. Deep hashing, which devises convolutional neural network architecture to exploit and extract the semantic information or feature of images, has received increasing attention recently. In this survey, several deep supervised hashing methods for image retrieval are evaluated and I conclude three main different directions for deep supervised hashing methods. Several comments are made at the end. Moreover, to break through the bottleneck of the existing hashing methods, I propose a Shadow Recurrent Hashing(SRH) method as a try. Specifically, I devise a CNN architecture to extract the semantic features of images and design a loss function to encourage similar images projected close. To this end, I propose a concept: shadow of the CNN output. During optimization process, the CNN output and its shadow are guiding each other so as to achieve the optimal solution as much as possible. Several experiments on dataset CIFAR-10 show the satisfying performance of SRH.

Recommender systems are widely used in big information-based companies such as Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Netflix. A recommender system deals with the problem of information overload by filtering important information fragments according to users' preferences. In light of the increasing success of deep learning, recent studies have proved the benefits of using deep learning in various recommendation tasks. However, most proposed techniques only aim to target individuals, which cannot be efficiently applied in group recommendation. In this paper, we propose a deep learning architecture to solve the group recommendation problem. On the one hand, as different individual preferences in a group necessitate preference trade-offs in making group recommendations, it is essential that the recommendation model can discover substitutes among user behaviors. On the other hand, it has been observed that a user as an individual and as a group member behaves differently. To tackle such problems, we propose using an attention mechanism to capture the impact of each user in a group. Specifically, our model automatically learns the influence weight of each user in a group and recommends items to the group based on its members' weighted preferences. We conduct extensive experiments on four datasets. Our model significantly outperforms baseline methods and shows promising results in applying deep learning to the group recommendation problem.
