The anomaly detection of time series is a hotspot of time series data mining. The own characteristics of different anomaly detectors determine the abnormal data that they are good at. There is no detector can be optimizing in all types of anomalies. Moreover, it still has difficulties in industrial production due to pr…
Financial markets are complex environments that produce enormous amounts of noisy and non-stationary data. One fundamental problem is online portfolio selection, the goal of which is to exploit this data to sequentially select portfolios of assets to achieve positive investment outcomes while managing risks. Various al…
Model selection based on classical information criteria, such as BIC, is generally computationally demanding, but its properties are well studied. On the other hand, model selection based on parameter shrinkage by ℓ1-type penalties is computationally efficient. In this paper we make an attempt to combine their st…
We derive new theoretical results on the properties of the adaptive least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (adaptive lasso) for time series regression models. In particular, we investigate the question of how to conduct finite sample inference on the parameters given an adaptive lasso model for some fixed valu…
A new family of penalty functions, adaptive to likelihood, is introduced for model selection in general regression models. It arises naturally through assuming certain types of prior distribution on the regression parameters. To study stability properties of the penalized maximum likelihood estimator, two types of asym…
We introduce Graphical TREX (GTREX), a novel method for graph estimation in high-dimensional Gaussian graphical models. By conducting neighborhood selection with TREX, GTREX avoids tuning parameters and is adaptive to the graph topology. We compare GTREX with standard methods on a new simulation set-up that is designed…
We consider the two-group classification problem and propose a kernel classifier based on the optimal scoring framework. Unlike previous approaches, we provide theoretical guarantees on the expected risk consistency of the method. We also allow for feature selection by imposing structured sparsity using weighted kernel…
In a Gaussian graphical model, the conditional independence between two variables are characterized by the corresponding zero entries in the inverse covariance matrix. Maximum likelihood method using the smoothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD) penalty (Fan and Li, 2001) and the adaptive LASSO penalty (Zou, 2006) hav…
DMFAW improves multi-view clustering with adaptive weights and feature selection.
problem Lack of effective feature selection and empirical hyperparameter selection in existing deep matrix factorization methods.
method Introduces Deep Matrix Factorization with Adaptive Weights (DMFAW) for multi-view clustering, incorporating feature selection and dynamically updating weights using Control Theory.
result DMFAW outperforms state-of-the-art methods in clustering performance.
High signal to noise ratio (SNR) consistency of model selection criteria in linear regression models has attracted a lot of attention recently. However, most of the existing literature on high SNR consistency deals with model order selection. Further, the limited literature available on the high SNR consistency of subs…
This paper explains why Adam generalizes worse than SGD by analyzing its components.
problem Understanding why Adam generalizes worse than Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD).
method Diffusion theoretical framework to disentangle the effects of Adaptive Learning Rate and Momentum.
result Adaptive Learning Rate helps escape saddle points but not select flat minima, while Momentum provides a drift effect to help pass through saddle points.
We propose the first fully-adaptive algorithm for pure exploration in linear bandits---the task to find the arm with the largest expected reward, which depends on an unknown parameter linearly. While existing methods partially or entirely fix sequences of arm selections before observing rewards, our method adaptively c…
Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) plays an important role in data science and its applications such as sparse subspace clustering and image processing. However, the existing OMP-based approaches lack of data adaptiveness so that the data cannot be represented well enough and may lose the accuracy. This paper proposes a…
We study the distribution of the adaptive LASSO estimator (Zou (2006)) in finite samples as well as in the large-sample limit. The large-sample distributions are derived both for the case where the adaptive LASSO estimator is tuned to perform conservative model selection as well as for the case where the tuning results…
The paper deals with the adaptation of a new measure for the unsupervised feature selection problems. The proposed measure is based on space filling concept and is called the coverage measure. This measure was used for judging the quality of an experimental space filling design. In the present work, the coverage measur…
We study the problem of clustering a set of items from binary user feedback. Such a problem arises in crowdsourcing platforms solving large-scale labeling tasks with minimal effort put on the users. For example, in some of the recent reCAPTCHA systems, users clicks (binary answers) can be used to efficiently label imag…
