We consider the reconstruction problem in compressed sensing in which the observations are recorded in a finite number of bits. They may thus contain quantization errors (from being rounded to the nearest representable value) and saturation errors (from being outside the range of representable values). Our formulation …
This paper presents the development of a hybrid learning system based on Support Vector Machines (SVM), Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and domain knowledge to solve prediction problem. The proposed two-stage Domain Knowledge based Fuzzy Information System (DKFIS) improves the prediction accuracy attained…
This paper deals with robust regression and subspace estimation and more precisely with the problem of minimizing a saturated loss function. In particular, we focus on computational complexity issues and show that an exact algorithm with polynomial time-complexity with respect to the number of data can be devised for r…
We extend the adaptive regression spline model by incorporating saturation, the natural requirement that a function extend as a constant outside a certain range. We fit saturating splines to data using a convex optimization problem over a space of measures, which we solve using an efficient algorithm based on the condi…
A homogeneously saturated equation for the time development of the price of a financial asset is presented and investigated for the pricing of European call options using noise that is distributed as a Student's t-distribution. In the limit that the saturation parameter of the equation equals zero, the standard model o…
Water saturation is an important property in reservoir engineering domain. Thus, satisfactory classification of water saturation from seismic attributes is beneficial for reservoir characterization. However, diverse and non-linear nature of subsurface attributes makes the classification task difficult. In this context,…
A recent paper suggests that Deep Neural Networks can be protected from gradient-based adversarial perturbations by driving the network activations into a highly saturated regime. Here we analyse such saturated networks and show that the attacks fail due to numerical limitations in the gradient computations. A simple s…
Curiosity-Critic improves world model training by focusing on cumulative prediction error.
problem Training world models with intrinsic rewards that consider cumulative prediction error.
method Curiosity-Critic uses a surrogate reward based on the difference between current and asymptotic prediction errors, estimated online by a co-trained critic.
result Curiosity-Critic outperforms other methods in training speed and final world model accuracy.
The time development of the price of a financial asset is considered by constructing and solving Langevin equations for a homogeneously saturated model, and for comparison, for a standard model and for a logistic model. The homogeneously saturated model uses coupled rate equations for the money supply and for the price…
A general nonlinear logistic equation has been proposed to model long-time saturation in industrial growth. An integral solution of this equation has been derived for any arbitrary degree of nonlinearity. A time scale for the onset of nonlinear saturation in industrial growth can be estimated from an equipartition cond…
As one of standard approaches to train deep neural networks, dropout has been applied to regularize large models to avoid overfitting, and the improvement in performance by dropout has been explained as avoiding co-adaptation between nodes. However, when correlations between nodes are compared after training the networ…
We give a method to compute presentations of saturated cluster modular groups. Using this, we obtain finite presentations of the saturated cluster modular groups of finite mutation type X6 and X7. We verify that the cluster modular groups of finite mutation type E6, E7, $\widetilde{E…
Common nonlinear activation functions used in neural networks can cause training difficulties due to the saturation behavior of the activation function, which may hide dependencies that are not visible to vanilla-SGD (using first order gradients only). Gating mechanisms that use softly saturating activation functions t…
