Advancing Recommender Systems with Graph Convolutional Networks
Advanced Multimodal Compatibility Modeling and Recommendation
This Third Edition sheds light on state-of-the-art theories and practices in multimodal compatibility modeling and recommendation, offering comprehensive insights into this evolving field. This topic, and fashion compatibility modeling in particular, has garnered increasing research attention in recent years due to the significant economic impact of e-commerce. Building upon recent research and the prior edition, the authors present a series of graph-learning based multimodal compatibility modeling schemes, all of which have been proven to be effective over several public real-world datasets. This book introduces a number of advanced multimodal compatibility modeling and recommendation methods, including category-guided multimodal compatibility modeling and try-on-guided multimodal compatibility modeling. The authors also provide comprehensive solutions, including correlation-oriented graph learning, modality-oriented graph learning, unsupervised disentangled graph learning, partially supervised disentangled graph learning, and metapath-guided heterogeneous graph learning.

Library Website Design and Development
Library Website Design and Development: Trends and Best Practices is a how-to guide written specifically for librarians and library technologists who are designing or redesigning their library website. Whether in academic, public, or special libraries, library websites are created as a service to users - a digital branch of the physical library where users can find and access the information they require. As such, library website designers grapple with meeting library-specific needs and concerns while also designing a website that looks modern and on trend.This book provides library website designers with foundational knowledge of the standards and best practices that apply to all websites, but also delves into the current trends of modern library websites specifically. Outlining the process of creating a well-organized, accessible, and user-friendly website for library users, the book starts with needs assessment and content organization, continues through site navigation and user experience design, and closes with a look at website analytics and the process of ongoing maintenance and assessment. Library Website Design and Development: Trends and Best Practices provides practicing web librarians with an inclusive step-by-step guide to all of the topics inherent in the website design and development process, while also taking a focused look at the unique needs of library websites. Each chapter in this book covers the foundational knowledge needed for an aspect of website design and is supplemented by a list of additional resources that go into further depth on each topic.
