High-Dimensional Kernel Methods under Covariate Shift: Data-Dependent Implicit Regularization

Volkan Cevher, Fanghui Liu

This paper studies kernel ridge regression in high dimensions under covariate shifts and analyzes the role of importance re-weighting. We first derive the asymptotic expansion of high dimensional kernels under covariate shifts. By a bias-variance decomposi ...

Estimation of Self-Exciting Point Processes from Time-Censored Data

Thomas Alois Weber, Philipp Jürgen Schneider

Self-exciting point processes, widely used to model arrival phenomena in nature and society, are often difficult to identify. The estimation becomes even more challenging when arrivals are recorded only as bin counts on a finite partition of the observatio ...

Climatic and Economic Background Determine the Disparities in Urbanites’ Expressed Happiness during the Summer Heat

Gabriele Manoli

Climate-change-induced extreme weather events increase heat-related mortality and health risks for urbanites, which may also affect urbanites’ expressed happiness (EH) and well-being. However, the links among EH, climate, and socioeconomic factors remain u ...

The two-point correlation function covariance with fewer mocks

Cheng Zhao

We present FITCOV an approach for accurate estimation of the covariance of two-point correlation functions that requires fewer mocks than the standard mock-based covariance. This can be achieved by dividing a set of mocks into jackknife regions and fitting ...

Distributed Optimization with Byzantine Robustness Guarantees

Lie He

As modern machine learning continues to achieve unprecedented benchmarks, the resource demands to train these advanced models grow drastically. This has led to a paradigm shift towards distributed training. However, the presence of adversariesâ whether ma ...

Continuous corrected particle number concentration data in 10 sec resolution measured in the Swiss aerosol container using a whole air inlet during MOSAiC 2019/2020

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck

This dataset contains corrected particle number concentration data measured during the year-long MOSAiC expedition from October 2019 to September 2020. Some periods of the measurements were affected by repeated step changes in the particle number concentra ...

Guard-Ring-Free InGaAs/InP Single-Photon Avalanche Diode Based on a Novel One-Step Zn-Diffusion Technique

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Myung Jae Lee, Ekin Kizilkan, Utku Karaca, Vladimir Pesic

This work presents a novel InGaAs/InP SPAD structure fabricated using a selective area growth (SAG) method. The surface topography of the selectively grown film deposited within the 70 mu m diffusion apertures is used to engineer the Zn diffusion profile t ...

Bias Cancellation of MixColumns

Francesco Regazzoni, Subhadeep Banik, Andrea Felice Caforio

At COSADE'2020, Carre et al. established a novel biascancelling property of the AES MixColumns matrix that effectively corrects any skewed output distribution of a state byte due to a faulty substitution box. Consequently, any effected byte is rendered uni ...

Momentum-Based Policy Gradient with Second-Order Information

Patrick Thiran, Negar Kiyavash, Saber Salehkaleybar, Mohammadsadegh Khorasani

Variance-reduced gradient estimators for policy gradient methods have been one of the main focus of research in the reinforcement learning in recent years as they allow acceleration of the estimation process. We propose a variance-reduced policy-gradient m ...

Decision Learning and Adaptation Over Multi-Task Networks

Ali H. Sayed

This paper studies the operation of multi-agent networks engaged in multi-task decision problems under the paradigm of simultaneous learning and adaptation. Two scenarios are considered:one in which a decision must be taken among multiple states of nature ...

On the Influence of Bias-Correction on Distributed Stochastic Optimization

Ali H. Sayed, Bicheng Ying, Kun Yuan, Sulaiman A S A E Alghunaim

Various bias-correction methods such as EXTRA, gradient tracking methods, and exact diffusion have been proposed recently to solve distributed deterministic optimization problems. These methods employ constant step-sizes and converge linearly to the exact ...

Affine Combination of Diffusion Strategies Over Networks

Ali H. Sayed

Diffusion adaptation is a powerful strategy for distributed estimation and learning over networks. Motivated by the concept of combining adaptive filters, this work proposes a combination framework that aggregates the operation of multiple diffusion strate ...

Convex Combination of Diffusion Strategies Over Networks

Ali H. Sayed

Combining diffusion strategies with complementary properties enables enhanced performance when they can be run simultaneously. In this article, we first propose two schemes for the convex combination of two diffusion strategies, namely, the power-normalize ...

Inference on the Angular Distribution of Extremes

Claudio Andri Semadeni

The spectral distribution plays a key role in the statistical modelling of multivariate extremes, as it defines the dependence structure of multivariate extreme-value distributions and characterizes the limiting distribution of the relative sizes of the co ...

Using global reanalysis data to quantify and correct airflow distortion bias in shipborne wind speed measurements

Julia Schmale, Sebastian Johannes Heinz-Josef Landwehr

At sea, wind forcing is responsible for the formation and development of surface waves and represents an important source of near-surface turbulence. Therefore, processes related to near-surface turbulence and wave breaking, such as sea spray emission and ...

Contributions to Likelihood-Based Modelling of Extreme Values

Léo Raymond-Belzile

xtreme value analysis is concerned with the modelling of extreme events such as floods and heatwaves, which can have large impacts. Statistical modelling can be useful to better assess risks even if, due to scarcity of measurements, there is inherently ver ...
