Paper introduces a new performance metric for class imbalance datasets.

problem Challenges in selecting and comparing models for imbalanced datasets.
method Proposes a new performance measure based on the harmonic mean of Recall and Selectivity normalized in class labels.
result The proposed measure is less sensitive to changes in the majority class and more sensitive to changes in the minority class.

Logistic regression is a widely used method in several fields. When applying logistic regression to imbalanced data, for which majority classes dominate over minority classes, all class labels are estimated as `majority class.' In this article, we use an F-measure optimization method to improve the performance of logis…

result Maximum expected inner product is equivalent to a truncated integral involving the rate-distortion function.

In machine learning, Domain Adaptation (DA) arises when the distribution gen- erating the test (target) data differs from the one generating the learning (source) data. It is well known that DA is an hard task even under strong assumptions, among which the covariate-shift where the source and target distributions diver…

New stability measures for similar features improve feature selection accuracy.

problem Existing stability measures fail to distinguish similar features in highly correlated datasets.
method Introduce new adjusted stability measures that consider feature similarities.
result One new stability measure considers highly similar features as interchangeable.

In order to emphasize cross-correlations for fluctuations in major market places, series of up and down spins are built from financial data. Patterns frequencies are measured, and statistical tests performed. Strong cross-correlations are emphasized, proving that market moves are collective behaviors.

problem Face recognition algorithms favor majority groups in training data.
method Create contrastive examples by swapping group memberships in the training dataset.
result Contrastive examples improve fairness metrics like equalized odds.

Cryptocurrencies show stable prices as a medium of exchange.

problem Price stability of cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange.
method Filtered daily returns of major cryptocurrencies compared to major financial assets using Pearson correlations, dynamic time-warping method, and Black-Scholes model.
result Cryptocurrencies exhibit stable daily returns relative to major financial assets over the years 2016-2020.

For several decades, the no-arbitrage (NA) condition and the martingale measures have played a major role in the financial asset's pricing theory. We propose a new approach for estimating the super-replication cost based on convex duality instead of martingale measures duality: Our prices will be expressed using Fenche…

Producing overlapping schemes is a major issue in clustering. Recent proposed overlapping methods relies on the search of an optimal covering and are based on different metrics, such as Euclidean distance and I-Divergence, used to measure closeness between observations. In this paper, we propose the use of another meas…

In this article, we construct the canonical semipositive current or the canonical measure (== the potential of the canonical semipositive current) on a smooth projective variety of nonnegative Kodaira dimension in terms of a dynamical system of Bergman kernels. This current is considered to be a generalization of a Kä…

For any family of measurable sets in a probability space, we show that either (i) the family has infinite Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension or (ii) for every epsilon > 0 there is a finite partition pi such the pi-boundary of each set has measure at most epsilon. Immediate corollaries include the fact that a family wit…

The vast majority of network datasets contains errors and omissions, although this is rarely incorporated in traditional network analysis. Recently, an increasing effort has been made to fill this methodological gap by developing network reconstruction approaches based on Bayesian inference. These approaches, however, …

Multi-period measures of risk account for the path that the value of an investment portfolio takes. In the context of probabilistic risk measures, the focus has traditionally been on the magnitude of investment loss and not on the dimension associated with the passage of time. In this paper, the concept of temporal pat…

result Demonstrates effectiveness of the new approach in recovering DAGs through simulations and real data analysis.

One major challenge for the legacy measurements at the LHC is that the likelihood function is not tractable when the collected data is high-dimensional and the detector response has to be modeled. We review how different analysis strategies solve this issue, including the traditional histogram approach used in most par…

Paper discovers structural dynamics equations from only acceleration data.

problem Discovering equations from only acceleration measurements in structural dynamics.
method Library-based approach with Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) prioritizing parsimonious models.
result Efficacy demonstrated in four structural dynamics examples, including linear and nonlinear systems.

Accurately determining dependency structure is critical to discovering a system's causal organization. We recently showed that the transfer entropy fails in a key aspect of this---measuring information flow---due to its conflation of dyadic and polyadic relationships. We extend this observation to demonstrate that this…
