Sequential recommendation has been widely used to predict users’ potential preferences by learning their dynamic user interests, for which most previous methods focus on capturing item-level dependencies. Despite the great success, they often overlook ...

Side-information integrated sequential recommendation incorporates supplementary information to alleviate the issue of data sparsity. The state-of-the-art works mainly leverage some side information to improve the attention calculation to learn user ...

As consumers increasingly engage in online brand communities, the demand of brand-related activities (e.g., finding relevant product information and sharing product information) also increases. Consumers may feel overwhelmed by these brand-...

• Consumer-generated content quality has a quadratic effect on information overload.
• Social interaction quality has a quadratic effect on social overload.
• Information and social overload are both positively related to brand overload.

Recently, sequential recommendation has become a research hotspot while multi-behavior sequential recommendation (MBSR) that exploits users' heterogeneous interactions in sequences has received relatively little attention. Existing works often overlook ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining increasing attention from business leaders today. As a primary AI tool, chatbots have seen increasing use by companies to support customer service. An understanding of how chatbots are used is ...

• This study attempts to conceptualize AI-enabled agility via a close look at chatbots.

• This study examines the effects of three types of perceived values on consumer behaviors.

Companies are increasingly relying on social media brand communities to interact with consumers and achieve business values. Thus, it is essential to understand how companies can extract value from consumers in social media brand ...

• A comparative model of information-sharing across genders is developed.
• The ...

Information systems research provides increasing evidence that women and men differ in their use of information technology. However, research has not sufficiently explained why these differences exist. Using the theory of reasoned ...

The flow arising in arteriosclerosis is modeled by the incompressible flow with a slip boundary condition of friction type in this paper, whose weak solution satisfies a variational inequality. We develop and analyze the stabilized ...

Gender effects remain poorly understood in the E-commerce setting. Using the selectivity model, this research further investigates gender differences in consumer Web-based purchase decisions. Specifically, gender differences in the effects of ...

• This study examines the effect of four types of extrinsic motivation on consumer behaviors.

The rise of social media has created a new e-commerce platform called social commerce. In social commerce, e-vendors such as Amazon may integrate social media with their traditional e-commerce sites. Based on self-determination theory ...

This paper summarizes a poster which presents an overview of a proposed healthcare study. The study is aimed to motivate patients, enhance patient self-care of diabetes and improve health outcomes. This study proposes to evaluate the effectiveness of a ...

Social networking sites (SNSs) have attracted more and more people to interact on line. Because of their popularity, firms and organizations are now marketing their business on SNS pages. It is essential for both SNS providers and firms to retain their ...

Social networking sites (SNSs) allow users to connect with each other by overcoming geographical and temporal boundaries and thus empower people to search for social support from online. Social support has been considered a key social value that online ...

This paper is concerned with spatially homogeneous and inhomogeneous autocatalysis models with arbitrary order. For the spatially homogeneous model, the existence and stability of Hopf bifurcation surrounding the interior equilibrium are considered. For ...

Social networking sites (SNS) such as Facebook are now a primary communications medium used to connect individuals and businesses worldwide. Businesses can profit by interacting with consumers through these platforms and therefore have a vested interest ...

Gastroscopy is one of the most important ways for diagnosing gastric cancer. Computer-aided detection of gastroscopic images is helpful in improving the accuracy of gastric cancer diagnosis. This paper proposes a method for lesion detection of ...

Many issues in engineering computation and practical application that ultimately boil down to a matrix computation. And different applications will lead to some of the special sparse structure of the matrix computation. A modified chasing method has ...

Endoscope is important for detecting gastric lesions. Computer aided analysis of endoscope images is helpful to improve the accuracy of endoscope tests. In this paper, Mean Shift-Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix algorithm (MS-GLCM), an improved algorithm ...

Optical-fiber vortex flowmeters are particularly applied in the measurement of fluid flows where instruments with no moving parts and wide range ability are required, especially under the flammable explosive environment. But because there is the ...
