Real-time Bidding (RTB) advertisers wish to know in advance the expected cost and yield of ad campaigns to avoid trial-and-error expenses.However, Campaign Performance Forecasting (CPF), a sequence modeling task involving tens of thousands of ad auctions, poses challenges of evolving user interest, auction representation, and long context, making coarse-grained and static-modeling methods sub-optimal.We propose AdVance, a time-aware framework that integrates local auction-level and global campaign-level modeling.User preference and fatigue are disentangled using a timepositioned sequence of clicked items and a concise vector of all displayed items.Cross-attention, conditioned on the fatigue vector, captures the dynamics of user interest toward each candidate ad.Bidders compete with each other, presenting a complete graph similar to the self-attention mechanism.Hence, we employ a Transformer Encoder to compress each auction into embedding by solving auxiliary tasks.These sequential embeddings are then summarized by a conditional state space model (SSM) to comprehend long-range dependencies while maintaining global linear complexity.Considering the irregular time intervals between auctions, we

Quantitative modeling and analysis of structural and functional brain networks based on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data have received extensive interest recently. However, the regularity of these structural and functional brain networks across multiple neuroimaging modalities and also across different individuals is largely unknown. This paper presents a novel approach to inferring group-wise consistent brain subnetworks from multimodal DTI/resting-state fMRI datasets via multi-view spectral clustering of cortical networks, which were constructed upon our recently developed and validated large-scale cortical landmarks-DICCCOL (dense individualized and common connectivity-based cortical landmarks). We applied the algorithms on DTI data of 100 healthy young females and 50 healthy young males, obtained consistent multimodal brain networks within and across multiple groups, and further examined the functional roles of these networks. Our experimental results demonstrated that the derived brain networks have substantially improved inter-modality and inter-subject consistency.
