The weighted squared loss is a common component in several Collaborative Filtering (CF) algorithms for item recommendation, including the representative implicit Alternating Least Squares (iALS). Despite its widespread use, this loss function lacks a clear connection to ranking objectives such as Discounted Cumulative Gain (DCG), posing a fundamental challenge in explaining the exceptional ranking performance observed in these algorithms. In this work, we make a breakthrough by establishing a connection between squared loss and ranking metrics through a Taylor expansion of the DCG-consistent surrogate loss-softmax loss. We also discover a new surrogate squared loss function, namely Ranking-Generalizable Squared (RG2) loss, and conduct thorough theoretical analyses on the DCG-consistency of the proposed loss function. Later, we present an example of utilizing the RG2 loss with Matrix Factorization (MF), coupled with a generalization upper bound and an ALS optimization algorithm that leverages closed-form solutions over all items. Experimental results over three public datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the RG2 loss, exhibiting ranking performance on par with, or even surpassing, the softmax loss while achieving faster convergence.

In the field of real-time object detection, the YOLO series has become a mainstream approach due to its exceptional performance. However, its performance on small object detection still has room for improvement. Small objects often struggle with limited feature representation in the P3, P4, and P5 detection layers. Traditional methods to address this issue typically add a P2 detection layer to enhance small object detection capabilities, but this often leads to a significant increase in computation and extended post-processing time. Therefore, developing an efficient and effective feature pyramid tailored for small objects has become an urgent problem to solve. This paper proposes a network specifically optimized for small object detection-YOLO-CSPOKM, which significantly enhances the performance of small object detection while also improving the detection of general objects. Based on the original PAFPN structure, we designed a Small Object Enhance Pyramid: the P2 feature layer is processed using SPD-Conv to extract features rich in small object information and then fused with the P3 layer. Subsequently, the CSP (Cross Stage Partial) strategy is employed to split input features along the channel dimension. One portion of the features is passed through the Omni-Kernel module to effectively capture multi-scale features ranging from global to local levels, while the other portion is concatenated with the Omni-Kernel output via skip connections. Furthermore, the P3, P4, and P5 features are passed through the SSFF module, and their output is added to the results from the CSPOKM module. Finally, the combined features are sent to the detection head, achieving a comprehensive enhancement in small object detection. Experiments on the MS COCO dataset demonstrate that compared to the baseline YOLOv8n model, YOLO-CSPOKM improves mAP@0.5:0.95 to 39.2%, a 2.8% increase, while maintaining a compact model size. When extended to the YOLOv8s model, the enhanced version achieves an mA

Feature selection is a crucial step in data preprocessing because feature selection reduces the dimensionality of data by eliminating irrelevant and redundant features. Since manual labeling is expensive, unsupervised feature selection has received increasing attention in recent years. However, existing unsupervised feature selection methods tend to prioritize selecting highly correlated features over exploring feature diversity. Thus, a regularized fractal autoencoder(RFAE) method is proposed to select informative features in an unsupervised way. Specifically, the fractal autoencoder network extends autoencoders to construct a correspondence neural network and a selection neural network. The correspondence neural network exploits interfeature correlations and the selection neural network selects the informative features. A redundancy regularization strategy consists of a redundancy elimination regularization term based on the dependency between features and a sparse regularization term based on the group lasso. The redundancy regularization strategy eliminates feature subset redundancy and enhances network generalization ability. Extensive experimental results on six publicly available datasets show that the proposed RFAE outperforms the compared methods regarding clustering accuracy and classification accuracy. Moreover, the proposed RFAE achieves acceptable computation efficiency.
