Recommendation as a Stochastic Sequential Decision Problem
Recommender systems — systems that suggest to users in e-commerce sites items that might interest them — adopt a static view of the recommendation process and treat it as a prediction problem. In an earlier paper, we argued that it is more appropriate to view the problem of generating recommendations as a sequential decision problem and, consequently, that Markov decision processes (MDPs) provi...
متن کاملConvergence in a sequential two stages decision making process
We analyze a sequential decision making process, in which at each stepthe decision is made in two stages. In the rst stage a partially optimalaction is chosen, which allows the decision maker to learn how to improveit under the new environment. We show how inertia (cost of changing)may lead the process to converge to a routine where no further changesare made. We illustrate our scheme with some...
متن کاملSequential Competitive Facility Location Problem in a Discrete Planar Space
In this paper, there are two competitors in a planar market. The first competitor, called, the leader, opens new facilities. After that, the second competitor, the follower, reacts to the leader’s action and opens r new facilities. The leader and the follower have got some facilities in advance in this market. The optimal locations for leader and follower are chosen among predefined candida...
متن کاملMatrix representation of a sixth order Sturm-Liouville problem and related inverse problem with finite spectrum
In this paper, we find matrix representation of a class of sixth order Sturm-Liouville problem (SLP) with separated, self-adjoint boundary conditions and we show that such SLP have finite spectrum. Also for a given matrix eigenvalue problem $HX=lambda VX$, where $H$ is a block tridiagonal matrix and $V$ is a block diagonal matrix, we find a sixth order boundary value problem of Atkin...
متن کاملThe Wiener Sequential Testing Problem with Finite Horizon
We present a solution of the Bayesian problem of sequential testing of two simple hypotheses about the mean value of an observed Wiener process on the time interval with finite horizon. The method of proof is based on reducing the initial optimal stopping problem to a parabolic free-boundary problem where the continuation region is determined by two continuous curved boundaries. By means of the...
