Pricing cloud bandwidth reservations under demand uncertainty
In a public cloud, bandwidth is traditionally priced in a pay-asyou-go model. Reflecting the recent trend of augmenting cloud computing with bandwidth guarantees, we consider a n...

A Bayesian Approach toward Active Learning for Collaborative Filtering
Collaborative filtering is a useful technique for exploiting the preference patterns of a group of users to predict the utility of items for the active user. In general, the perfo...

Unifying user-based and item-based collaborative filtering approaches by similarity fusion
Memory-based methods for collaborative filtering predict new ratings by averaging (weighted) ratings between, respectively, pairs of similar users or items. In practice, a large ...

Modeling and Learning Contact Dynamics in Human Motion
We propose a simple model of human motion as a switching linear dynamical system where the switches correspond to contact forces with the ground. This significantly improves the m...
