This study quantifies the scalability of k-Sliced Mutual Information (k-SMI) with dimension.

problem Understanding how SMI and its estimation rates depend on the ambient dimension.
method Developed k-SMI framework and derived bounds on MC estimates, established optimal convergence rates, and provided asymptotic results.
result Sharp bounds and optimal convergence rates for k-SMI estimation, revealing interplay with dimension and sample size.

SMI uses mixture models to improve SVGD's performance in Bayesian inference.

problem Variance collapse in SVGD for Bayesian inference, especially with small models.
method Generalizes SVGD to Stein mixture models, optimizing an ELBO lower bound.
result SMI avoids variance collapse and accurately estimates uncertainty for small BNNs.

In this paper we have analyzed scaling properties and cyclical behavior of the three types of stock market indexes (SMI) time series: data belonging to stock markets of developed economies, emerging economies, and of the underdeveloped or transitional economies. We have used two techniques of data analysis to obtain an…

New methods for scalable inference in modular models with misspecified sub-models.

problem Model misspecification in multi-modular models complicates evidence combination.
method Variational methods for approximating Cut and SMI posteriors, and Variational Meta-Posterior.
result Feasibility of analysis with multiple cuts using a single set of variational parameters.

Estimating mutual information is an important statistics and machine learning problem. To estimate the mutual information from data, a common practice is preparing a set of paired samples {(xi,yi)}i=1ni.i.d.p(x,y)\{(\mathbf{x}_i,\mathbf{y}_i)\}_{i=1}^n \stackrel{\mathrm{i.i.d.}}{\sim} p(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y}). However, in many situations, it…

We present classical and recent results on Kähler-Einstein metrics on compact complex manifolds, focusing on existence, obstructions and relations to algebraic geometric notions of stability (K-stability). These are the notes for the SMI course "Kähler-Einstein metrics" given by C.S. in Cortona (Italy), May 2017. The m…

Enhances multi-modular models by directing information flow between components.

problem Improving predictive performance in multi-modular models with misspecification.
method Introduces Semi-Modular Inference (SMI) with an influence parameter to control information flow between modules.
result SMI allows for tunable and directed information flow, improving prediction in some settings.
