• Abstract: Recommender systems have been studied for decades with numerous promising models been proposed. Among them, Collaborative Filtering (CF) models are arguably the most successful one due to its high accuracy in recommendation and elimination of privacy-concerned personal meta-data from training. This paper extends the usage of CF-based model to the task of course recommendation. We point out several challenges in applying the existing CF-models to build a course recommendation engine, including the lack of rating and meta-data, the imbalance of course registration distribution, and the demand of course dependency modeling. We then propose several ideas to address these challenges. Eventually, we combine a two-stage CF model regularized by course dependency with a graph-based recommender based on course-transition network, to achieve AUC as high as 0.97 with a real-world dataset.

  We introduce a meta-learning framework infused with PEFT in this intermediate retraining stage to learn a model that can be easily adapted to unseen tasks. In this setting, we demonstrate the suboptimality of standard retraining for finding an adaptable set of parameters. We then apply these theoretical insights to retraining the RoBERTa model to predict the continuation of conversations within the ConvAI2 dataset.

• Federated Learning with Projected Trajectory Regularization [65.6266768678291]
  Federated learning enables joint training of machine learning models from distributed clients without sharing their local data. One key challenge in federated learning is to handle non-identically distributed data across the clients. We propose a novel federated learning framework with projected trajectory regularization (FedPTR) for tackling the data issue.

  We take a hybrid approach, combining model predictive control (MPC) with a learned model and model-free policy learning. We find that well-tuned model-free agents are strong baselines even for high DoF control problems. We show that it is possible to distil a model-based planner into a policy that amortizes the planning without any loss of performance.
