We inspect Vietoris-Rips complexes of certain metric spaces using a new generalization of Bestvina-Brady discrete Morse theory. Our main result is a pair of metric criteria on , called the Morse Criterion and Link Criterion, that allow us to deduce information about the homotopy types of certain $VR_t(…

Proposes a group-splicing algorithm for efficient BSGS in high-dimensional settings.
We introduce a new criterion to determine the order of an autoregressive model fitted to time series data. It has the benefits of the two well-known model selection techniques, the Akaike information criterion and the Bayesian information criterion. When the data is generated from a finite order autoregression, the Bay…
New criterion improves predictive evaluation in weighted inference scenarios.
Improves Group Lasso for categorical data by reducing dimensionality and selecting models.
Calibrating classifiers reduces grouping loss using sufficiency criteria.
A widely applicable Bayesian information criterion (Watanabe, 2013) is applicable for both regular and singular models in the model selection problem. This criterion tends to overestimate the log marginal likelihood. We identify an overestimating term of a widely applicable Bayesian information criterion. Adjustment of…

Proposes a new hyperprior and predictive criterion for weakly informative hyperprior in relevance vector machine.
SIC detects elbows in error curves automatically.
A group of transition probability functions form a Shannon's channel whereas a group of truth functions form a semantic channel. By the third kind of Bayes' theorem, we can directly convert a Shannon's channel into an optimized semantic channel. When a sample is not big enough, we can use a truth function with paramete…
Study shows the corrected Akaike criterion is inadmissible for estimating Kullback-Leibler discrepancy.
Complete criterion for VoI in multi-decision influence diagrams established.
In the information-based paradigm of inference, model selection is performed by selecting the candidate model with the best estimated predictive performance. The success of this approach depends on the accuracy of the estimate of the predictive complexity. In the large-sample-size limit of a regular model, the predicti…

Clarifies boundary criterion for non-one-ended subgroups in cubulation theory.
LS improves model selection for singular statistical models.
SplitWise enhances stepwise regression by adaptively encoding numeric predictors into binary features.
In this paper, we propose an information-theoretic exploration strategy for stochastic, discrete multi-armed bandits that achieves optimal regret. Our strategy is based on the value of information criterion. This criterion measures the trade-off between policy information and obtainable rewards. High amounts of policy …
Study introduces combinatorial criterion for quasi-isometry groups of Euclidean spaces.
We consider a problem of grouping multiple graphs into several clusters using singular value thesholding and non-negative factorization. We derive a model selection information criterion to estimate the number of clusters. We demonstrate our approach using "Swimmer data set" as well as simulated data set, and compare i…
A new criterion selects models in overparameterized settings.
Uniform criterion for vanishing products in bounded cohomology.
If an augmented algebra K over Q is filtered by powers of its augmentation ideal I, the associated graded algebra grK need not in general be quadratic: although it is generated in degree 1, its relations may not be generated by homogeneous relations of degree 2. In this paper we give a sufficient criterion (called the …

Criterion for lifting smooth contact maps between Carnot groups to central extensions.
We give a criterion in terms of the boundary for the existence of a proper cocompact action of a word-hyperbolic group on a CAT(0) cube complex. We describe applications towards lattices and hyperbolic 3-manifold groups. In particular, by combining the theory of special cube complexes, the surface subgroup result of Ka…
We give a combinatorial criterion that implies both the non-strong relative hyperbolicity and the one-endedness of a finitely generated group. We use this to show that many important classes of groups do not admit a strong relatively hyperbolic group structure and have one end. Applications include surface mapping clas…
A group of transition probability functions form a Shannon's channel whereas a group of truth functions form a semantic channel. Label learning is to let semantic channels match Shannon's channels and label selection is to let Shannon's channels match semantic channels. The Channel Matching (CM) algorithm is provided f…
New criteria for non-isometric group actions in metric spaces.
Statistical inference is considered for variables of interest, called primary variables, when auxiliary variables are observed along with the primary variables. We consider the setting of incomplete data analysis, where some primary variables are not observed. Utilizing a parametric model of joint distribution of prima…
Framework for generating multiple clusterings from multi-view data.
Criterion for polystability in Lie group actions on manifolds.
Criterion for periodic orbits convergence proved.
In this paper we give a criterion for pairs of isometries of a nonpositively curved metric space to generate a free group. This criterion holds only in singular spaces, for example in Euclidean buildings. The original motivation for our criterion was to prove that the four dimensional Burau representation is faithful. …
We give very flexible, concrete constructions of discrete and faithful epresentations of right-angled Artin groups into higher-rank Lie groups. Using the geometry of the associated symmetric spaces and the combinatorics of the groups, we find a general criterion for when discrete and faithful representations exist, and…
This paper introduces Kernel-based Information Criterion (KIC) for model selection in regression analysis. The novel kernel-based complexity measure in KIC efficiently computes the interdependency between parameters of the model using a variable-wise variance and yields selection of better, more robust regressors. Expe…
Feature selection aims to select the smallest feature subset that yields the minimum generalization error. In the rich literature in feature selection, information theory-based approaches seek a subset of features such that the mutual information between the selected features and the class labels is maximized. Despite …
The paper derives an equation linking WAIC and WBIC for singular models.
We have recently proposed a new information-based approach to model selection, the Frequentist Information Criterion (FIC), that reconciles information-based and frequentist inference. The purpose of this current paper is to provide a simple example of the application of this criterion and a demonstration of the natura…
We test three common information criteria (IC) for selecting the order of a Hawkes process with an intensity kernel that can be expressed as a mixture of exponential terms. These processes find application in high-frequency financial data modelling. The information criteria are Akaike's information criterion (AIC), the…
