We investigate unsupervised pre-training of deep architectures as feature generators for "shallow" classifiers. Stacked Denoising Autoencoders (SdA), when used as feature pre-processing tools for SVM classification, can lead to significant improvements in accuracy - however, at the price of a substantial increase in co…

Efficient bandit exploration for various distributions without distribution-specific tuning.
A brain computer interface (BCI) is a system which provides direct communication between the mind of a person and the outside world by using only brain activity (EEG). The event-related potential (ERP)-based BCI problem consists of a binary pattern recognition. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is widely used to solve…
Symbolic data analysis (SDA) is an emerging area of statistics concerned with understanding and modelling data that takes distributional form (i.e. symbols), such as random lists, intervals and histograms. It was developed under the premise that the statistical unit of interest is the symbol, and that inference is requ…
Surrogate Data Analysis (SDA) is a statistical hypothesis testing framework for the determination of weak chaos in time series dynamics. Existing SDA procedures do not account properly for the rich structures observed in stock return sequences, attributed to the presence of heteroscedasticity, seasonal effects and outl…
Optimal ANN pre-training with SDA reduces handwritten Bengali digit recognition error to 2.34%
In this paper, we develop a new framework for sensing and recovering structured signals. In contrast to compressive sensing (CS) systems that employ linear measurements, sparse representations, and computationally complex convex/greedy algorithms, we introduce a deep learning framework that supports both linear and mil…
Robust Transformer-Based One-Step Stock Index Forecasting via Shifted Data Augmentation
SDA method reduces memory and time for assimilating noisy geophysical data.
Physics-based framework improves building energy forecasting.
Paper improves classification rates for private data.
We introduce a new neural network model, together with a tractable and monotone online learning algorithm. Our model describes feed-forward networks for classification, with one output node for each class. The only nonlinear operation is rectification using a ReLU function with a bias. However, there is a rectifier on …
We present SDA-Bayes, a framework for (S)treaming, (D)istributed, (A)synchronous computation of a Bayesian posterior. The framework makes streaming updates to the estimated posterior according to a user-specified approximation batch primitive. We demonstrate the usefulness of our framework, with variational Bayes (VB) …
We revisit the problem of feature selection in linear discriminant analysis (LDA), that is, when features are correlated. First, we introduce a pooled centroids formulation of the multiclass LDA predictor function, in which the relative weights of Mahalanobis-transformed predictors are given by correlation-adjusted …
Study identifies clusters of EU countries with similar young mortality patterns.
Paper develops IFTRR to solve sparse generalized eigenvalue problems efficiently.
Causal invariance can improve finite-sample domain adaptation, but only when the target risk margins are large.
