Recommendation systems and computing advertisements have gradually entered the field of academic research from the field of commercial applications. Click-through rate prediction is one of the core research issues because the prediction accuracy affects the user experience and the revenue of merchants and platforms. Feature engineering is very important to improve click-through rate prediction. Traditional feature engineering heavily relies on people's experience, and is difficult to construct a feature combination that can describe the complex patterns implied in the data. This paper combines traditional feature combination methods and deep neural networks to automate feature combinations to improve the accuracy of click-through rate prediction. We propose a mechannism named 'Field-aware Neural Factorization Machine' (FNFM). This model can have strong second order feature interactive learning ability like Field-aware Factorization Machine, on this basis, deep neural network is used for higher-order feature combination learning. Experiments show that the model has stronger expression ability than current deep learning feature combination models like the DeepFM, DCN and NFM.
Deep and Cross Network (DCN) @cite_1 adopts a cross-network structure to explicitly calculate the cross-combination between features. The crossover network consists of different intersecting layers. This special structure enables the order of the interactive features to increase as the number of layers increases. The highest order (as compared to the original input) that a @math layered cross network can capture is @math ..

Feature engineering has been the key to the success of many prediction models. However, the process is nontrivial and often requires manual feature engineering or exhaustive searching. DNNs are able to automatically learn feature interactions; however, they generate all the interactions implicitly, and are not necessarily efficient in learning all types of cross features. In this paper, we propose the Deep & Cross Network (DCN) which keeps the benefits of a DNN model, and beyond that, it introduces a novel cross network that is more efficient in learning certain bounded-degree feature interactions. In particular, DCN explicitly applies feature crossing at each layer, requires no manual feature engineering, and adds negligible extra complexity to the DNN model. Our experimental results have demonstrated its superiority over the state-of-art algorithms on the CTR prediction dataset and dense classification dataset, in terms of both model accuracy and memory usage. Inspired by the progress of deep neural network (DNN) in single-media retrieval, the researchers have applied the DNN to cross-media retrieval. These methods are mainly two-stage learning: the first stage is to generate the separate representation for each media type, and the existing methods only model the intra-media information but ignore the inter-media correlation with the rich complementary context to the intra-media information. The second stage is to get the shared representation by learning the cross-media correlation, and the existing methods learn the shared representation through a shallow network structure, which cannot fully capture the complex cross-media correlation. For addressing the above problems, we propose the cross-media multiple deep network (CMDN) to exploit the complex cross-media correlation by hierarchical learning. In the first stage, CMDN jointly models the intra-media and intermedia information for getting the complementary separate representation of each media type. In the second stage, CMDN hierarchically combines the inter-media and intra-media representations to further learn the rich cross-media correlation by a deeper two-level network strategy, and finally get the shared representation by a stacked network style. Experiment results show that CMDN achieves better performance comparing with several state-of-the-art methods on 3 extensively used cross-media datasets. Learning to reconstruct depths in a single image by watching unlabeled videos via deep convolutional network (DCN) is attracting significant attention in recent years. In this paper, we introduce a surface normal representation for unsupervised depth estimation framework. Our estimated depths are constrained to be compatible with predicted normals, yielding more robust geometry results. Specifically, we formulate an edge-aware depth-normal consistency term, and solve it by constructing a depth-to-normal layer and a normal-to-depth layer inside of the DCN. The depth-to-normal layer takes estimated depths as input, and computes normal directions using cross production based on neighboring pixels. Then given the estimated normals, the normal-to-depth layer outputs a regularized depth map through local planar smoothness. Both layers are computed with awareness of edges inside the image to help address the issue of depth normal discontinuity and preserve sharp edges. Finally, to train the network, we apply the photometric error and gradient smoothness for both depth and normal predictions. We conducted experiments on both outdoor (KITTI) and indoor (NYUv2) datasets, and show that our algorithm vastly outperforms state of the art, which demonstrates the benefits from our approach. Several deep learning models have been proposed for question answering. However, due to their single-pass nature, they have no way to recover from local maxima corresponding to incorrect answers. To address this problem, we introduce the Dynamic Coattention Network (DCN) for question answering. The DCN first fuses co-dependent representations of the question and the document in order to focus on relevant parts of both. Then a dynamic pointing decoder iterates over potential answer spans. This iterative procedure enables the model to recover from initial local maxima corresponding to incorrect answers. On the Stanford question answering dataset, a single DCN model improves the previous state of the art from 71.0 F1 to 75.9 , while a DCN ensemble obtains 80.4 F1.
