Contrastive learning works well with redundant data views.
Large datasets have been crucial to the success of deep learning models in the recent years, which keep performing better as they are trained with more labelled data. While there have been sustained efforts to make these models more data-efficient, the potential benefit of understanding the data itself, is largely unta…
Machine learning (ML) is probably the first and foremost used technique to deal with the size and complexity of the new generation of data. In this paper, we analyze one of the means to increase the performances of ML algorithms which is exploiting data locality. Data locality and access patterns are often at the heart…
Williams and Beer (2010) proposed a nonnegative mutual information decomposition, based on the construction of redundancy lattices, which allows separating the information that a set of variables contains about a target variable into nonnegative components interpretable as the unique information of some variables not p…

Redundancy in AI perception systems doesn't guarantee independent error occurrences.
Spectral dimensionality reduction algorithms are widely used in numerous domains, including for recognition, segmentation, tracking and visualization. However, despite their popularity, these algorithms suffer from a major limitation known as the "repeated Eigen-directions" phenomenon. That is, many of the embedding co…
Traditionally it had been a problem that researchers did not have access to enough spatial data to answer pressing research questions or build compelling visualizations. Today, however, the problem is often that we have too much data. Spatially redundant or approximately redundant points may refer to a single feature (…
Transformers reduce redundancy by focusing on invariant relational quantities.
Accurate prediction of suicide risk in mental health patients remains an open problem. Existing methods including clinician judgments have acceptable sensitivity, but yield many false positives. Exploiting administrative data has a great potential, but the data has high dimensionality and redundancies in the recording …
The use of variable selection methods is particularly appealing in statistical problems with functional data. The obvious general criterion for variable selection is to choose the `most representative' or `most relevant' variables. However, it is also clear that a purely relevance-oriented criterion could lead to selec…
Convolutional neural networks (CNN) are generally designed with a heuristic initialization of network architecture and trained for a certain task. This often leads to overparametrization after learning and induces redundancy in the information flow paths within the network. This robustness and reliability is at the inc…

With the advent of Big Data era, data reduction methods are highly demanded given its ability to simplify huge data, and ease complex learning processes. Concretely, algorithms that are able to filter relevant dimensions from a set of millions are of huge importance. Although effective, these techniques suffer from the…
Correlation Networks (CNs) inherently suffer from redundant information in their network topology. Bayesian Networks (BNs), on the other hand, include only non-redundant information (from a probabilistic perspective) resulting in a sparse topology from which generalizable physical features can be extracted. We advocate…
Previously in 2014, we proposed the Nearest Descent (ND) method, capable of generating an efficient Graph, called the in-tree (IT). Due to some beautiful and effective features, this IT structure proves well suited for data clustering. Although there exist some redundant edges in IT, they usually have salient features …
Study on neural networks to identify redundancy issues in safe machine learning.
Slow running or straggler tasks can significantly reduce computation speed in distributed computation. Recently, coding-theory-inspired approaches have been applied to mitigate the effect of straggling, through embedding redundancy in certain linear computational steps of the optimization algorithm, thus completing the…
To deal with the complexity of the new bigger and more complex generation of data, machine learning (ML) techniques are probably the first and foremost used. For ML algorithms to produce results in a reasonable amount of time, they need to be implemented efficiently. In this paper, we analyze one of the means to increa…
Feature selection has attracted significant attention in data mining and machine learning in the past decades. Many existing feature selection methods eliminate redundancy by measuring pairwise inter-correlation of features, whereas the complementariness of features and higher inter-correlation among more than two feat…
Redundancy in deep neural network (DNN) models has always been one of their most intriguing and important properties. DNNs have been shown to overparameterize, or extract a lot of redundant features. In this work, we explore the impact of size (both width and depth), activation function, and weight initialization on th…

We introduce the problem of reconstructing a sequence of multidimensional real vectors where some of the data are missing. This problem contains regression and mapping inversion as particular cases where the pattern of missing data is independent of the sequence index. The problem is hard because it involves possibly m…
Performance of distributed optimization and learning systems is bottlenecked by "straggler" nodes and slow communication links, which significantly delay computation. We propose a distributed optimization framework where the dataset is "encoded" to have an over-complete representation with built-in redundancy, and the …

In our previous works, we proposed a physically-inspired rule to organize the data points into an in-tree (IT) structure, in which some undesired edges are allowed to occur. By removing those undesired or redundant edges, this IT structure is divided into several separate parts, each representing one cluster. In this w…
