This paper presents regression models obtained from a process of blind prediction of peptide binding affinity from provided descriptors for several distinct datasets as part of the 2006 Comparative Evaluation of Prediction Algorithms (COEPRA) contest. This paper finds that kernel partial least squares, a nonlinear part…
Spectral decomposition of the Koopman operator is attracting attention as a tool for the analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems. Dynamic mode decomposition is a popular numerical algorithm for Koopman spectral analysis; however, we often need to prepare nonlinear observables manually according to the underlying dynami…
The kernel least mean squares (KLMS) algorithm is a computationally efficient nonlinear adaptive filtering method that "kernelizes" the celebrated (linear) least mean squares algorithm. We demonstrate that the least mean squares algorithm is closely related to the Kalman filtering, and thus, the KLMS can be interpreted…

result Least squares is the best unbiased linear model in terms of mean squared error.
Over the last decade, both the neural network and kernel adaptive filter have successfully been used for nonlinear signal processing. However, they suffer from high computational cost caused by their complex/growing network structures. In this paper, we propose two random Euler filters for complex-valued nonlinear filt…
The past decade has witnessed a successful application of deep learning to solving many challenging problems in machine learning and artificial intelligence. However, the loss functions of deep neural networks (especially nonlinear networks) are still far from being well understood from a theoretical aspect. In this pa…
We study the problem of recovering a structured signal x0 from high-dimensional data yi=f(aiTx0) for some nonlinear (and potentially unknown) link function f, when the regressors ai are iid Gaussian. Brillinger (1982) showed that ordinary least-squares estimate…
This paper introduces a robust mixing model to describe hyperspectral data resulting from the mixture of several pure spectral signatures. This new model not only generalizes the commonly used linear mixing model, but also allows for possible nonlinear effects to be easily handled, relying on mild assumptions regarding…
We study parameter estimation and asymptotic inference for sparse nonlinear regression. More specifically, we assume the data are given by y=f(x⊤β∗)+ε, where f is nonlinear. To recover β∗, we propose an ℓ1-regularized least-squares estimator. Unlike classical linear regression, the correspondin…
It is generally accepted that many time series of practical interest exhibit strong dependence, i.e., long memory. For such series, the sample autocorrelations decay slowly and log-log periodogram plots indicate a straight-line relationship. This necessitates a class of models for describing such behavior. A popular cl…
While conformal transformations of the plane preserve Laplace's equation, Lorentz-conformal mappings preserve the wave equation. We discover how simple geometric objects, such as quadrilaterals and pairs of crossing curves, are transformed under nonlinear Lorentz-conformal mappings. Squares are transformed into curvili…
Traditionally, nonlinear inversion, direct inversion, or wave estimation methods have been used for reconstructing images from MRE displacement data. In this work, we propose a convolutional neural network architecture that can map MRE displacement data directly into elastograms, circumventing the costly and computatio…
In deep learning, \textit{depth}, as well as \textit{nonlinearity}, create non-convex loss surfaces. Then, does depth alone create bad local minima? In this paper, we prove that without nonlinearity, depth alone does not create bad local minima, although it induces non-convex loss surface. Using this insight, we greatl…
This work presents a non-intrusive model reduction method to learn low-dimensional models of dynamical systems with non-polynomial nonlinear terms that are spatially local and that are given in analytic form. In contrast to state-of-the-art model reduction methods that are intrusive and thus require full knowledge of t…
In order to cope with the increased data volumes generated by modern radio interferometers such as LOFAR (Low Frequency Array) or SKA (Square Kilometre Array), fast and efficient calibration algorithms are essential. Traditional radio interferometric calibration is performed using nonlinear optimization techniques such…
