Technical Perspective: Personalized Recommendation of PoIs to People with Autism
"Supporting People with Autism Spectrum Disorders in the Exploration of PoIs" is an example of work that takes seriously the task of supporting a small group that is not well served by existing recommender systems.Supporting People with Autism Spectrum Disorders in the Exploration of PoIs: An Inclusive Recommender System
We propose a novel Top-N recommendation model that combines information about an autistic user's idiosyncratic aversions with her/his preferences in a personalized way.Technical Perspective: Model Structure Takes Guesswork Out of State Estimation
"Worst-Case Topological Entropy and Minimal Data Rate for State Estimation of Switched Linear Systems" gives a method for computing the topological entropy of a broad class of systems called switched linear systems.Worst-Case Topological Entropy and Minimal Data Rate for State Estimation of Switched Linear Systems
In this paper, we study the problem of estimating the state of a switched linear system when the observation of the system is subject to communication constraints.COLUMN: Last byte
