Sparse coding, which represents a data point as a sparse reconstruction code with regard to a dictionary, has been a popular data representation method. Meanwhile, in database retrieval problems, learning the ranking scores from data points plays an important role. Up to now, these two problems have always been conside…

Retrieving the most similar objects in a large-scale database for a given query is a fundamental building block in many application domains, ranging from web searches, visual, cross media, and document retrievals. State-of-the-art approaches have mainly focused on capturing the underlying geometry of the data manifolds…
Modern navigation services often provide multiple paths connecting the same source and destination for users to select. Hence, ranking such paths becomes increasingly important, which directly affects the service quality. We present PathRank, a data-driven framework for ranking paths based on historical trajectories us…
New model fusion method improves Bitcoin price prediction accuracy.
Hypothesis tests in models whose dimension far exceeds the sample size can be formulated much like the classical studentized tests only after the initial bias of estimation is removed successfully. The theory of debiased estimators can be developed in the context of quantile regression models for a fixed quantile value…
New unsupervised feature selection method for imbalanced datasets.
The optimal ranking score between precision and recall is rarely F1 and can be found using specific methods.
We propose a non-parametric anomaly detection algorithm for high dimensional data. We first rank scores derived from nearest neighbor graphs on -point nominal training data. We then train limited complexity models to imitate these scores based on the max-margin learning-to-rank framework. A test-point is declared as…
The aggregation of k-ary preferences is a historical and important problem, since it has many real-world applications, such as peer grading, presidential elections and restaurant ranking. Meanwhile, variants of Plackett-Luce model has been applied to aggregate k-ary preferences. However, there are two urgent issues sti…
Recent studies on automatic neural architectures search have demonstrated significant performance, competitive to or even better than hand-crafted neural architectures. However, most of the existing network architecture tend to use residual, parallel structures and concatenation block between shallow and deep features …
GNNRank uses neural networks to learn global rankings from competition match data.
Paper addresses selection bias in online advertising auctions.
There are more than eight hundred interest rates published in China bond market every day. Which are the benchmark interest rates that have broad influences on most interest rates is a major concern for economists. In this paper, multi-variable Granger causality test is developed and applied to construct a directed net…
A new model detects and localizes anomalies in multivariate time series data.
A preference order or ranking aggregated from pairwise comparison data is commonly understood as a strict total order. However, in real-world scenarios, some items are intrinsically ambiguous in comparisons, which may very well be an inherent uncertainty of the data. In this case, the conventional total order ranking c…
VLM judges rank well but score poorly; task difficulty and annotation quality affect interval width.
Collaborative filtering is widely used in modern recommender systems. Recent research shows that variational autoencoders (VAEs) yield state-of-the-art performance by integrating flexible representations from deep neural networks into latent variable models, mitigating limitations of traditional linear factor models. V…
Paper proposes an active learning method for surgical workflow recognition using long-range temporal dependency.
Proposes a method to balance fairness and utility in ranking models.
In this paper, we study a popular method for inference of the Bradley-Terry model parameters, namely the MM algorithm, for maximum likelihood estimation and maximum a posteriori probability estimation. This class of models includes the Bradley-Terry model of paired comparisons, the Rao-Kupper model of paired comparison…
Despite being the standard loss function to train multi-class neural networks, the log-softmax has two potential limitations. First, it involves computations that scale linearly with the number of output classes, which can restrict the size of problems we are able to tackle with current hardware. Second, it remains unc…
