This paper proposes a new methodology to compute Value at Risk (VaR) for quantifying losses in credit portfolios. We approximate the cumulative distribution of the loss function by a finite combination of Haar wavelets basis functions and calculate the coefficients of the approximation by inverting its Laplace transfor…

This paper presents a basic property of region dividing of ReLU (rectified linear unit) deep learning when new layers are successively added, by which two new perspectives of interpreting deep learning are given. The first is related to decision trees and forests; we construct a deep learning structure equivalent to a …
The paper reformulates U-Nets as wavelet-based models and applies this to hierarchical VAEs.
We present a powerful new loss function and training scheme for learning binary hash functions. In particular, we demonstrate our method by creating for the first time a neural network that outperforms state-of-the-art Haar wavelets and color layout descriptors at the task of automated scene matching. By accurately rel…
The paper improves on existing algorithms for minimizing different types of regret in online learning.
The aim of this paper is to discuss the use of Haar scattering networks, which is a very simple architecture that naturally supports a large number of stacked layers, yet with very few parameters, in a relatively broad set of pattern recognition problems, including regression and classification tasks. This architecture…
We propose a new outline for adaptive dictionary learning methods for sparse encoding based on a hierarchical clustering of the training data. Through recursive application of a clustering method, the data is organized into a binary partition tree representing a multiscale structure. The dictionary atoms are defined ad…
Deep Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are useful models for graph classification and graph-based regression tasks. In these tasks, graph pooling is a critical ingredient by which GNNs adapt to input graphs of varying size and structure. We propose a new graph pooling operation based on compressive Haar transforms -- HaarPo…
Simplifies and optimizes learning from untrusted batches with structure.
We consider the problem of online forecasting of sequences of length with total-variation at most using observations contaminated by independent -subgaussian noise. We design an -time algorithm that achieves a cumulative square error of with high pro…
