Real-world large-scale datasets usually contain noisy labels and are imbalanced.

Real-world machine learning applications often have complex test metrics, and may have training and test data that are not identically distributed. Motivated by known connections between complex test metrics and cost-weighted learning, we propose addressing these issues by using a weighted loss function with a standard…

There are a number of examples of variations of Hodge structure of maximum dimension. However, to our knowledge, those that are global on the level of the period domain are totally geodesic subspaces that arise from an orbit of a subgroup of the group of the period domain. That is, they are defined by Lie theory rather…
