TOO optimizes stochastic epidemiological models by finding both parameter settings and random seeds.

In a recent work, we presented a discriminative backend for speaker verification that achieved good out-of-the-box calibration performance on most tested conditions containing varying levels of mismatch to the training conditions. This backend mimics the standard PLDA-based backend process used in most current speaker …

Study finds many Lagrangian fillings for certain Legendrian links.

New method fills cluster seeds with exact Lagrangian structures.

Many methods for automated software test generation, including some that explicitly use machine learning (and some that use ML more broadly conceived) derive new tests from existing tests (often referred to as seeds). Often, the seed tests from which new tests are derived are manually constructed, or at least simpler t…

Bayesian optimization is a powerful tool for expensive stochastic black-box optimization problems such as simulation-based optimization or machine learning hyperparameter tuning. Many stochastic objective functions implicitly require a random number seed as input. By explicitly reusing a seed a user can exploit common …

In this paper, we focus on quantifying model stability as a function of random seed by investigating the effects of the induced randomness on model performance and the robustness of the model in general. We specifically perform a controlled study on the effect of random seeds on the behaviour of attention, gradient-bas…

PNN-smoothing improves $k$-means clustering by merging subsets' clusterings.

Given two graphs, the graph matching problem is to align the two vertex sets so as to minimize the number of adjacency disagreements between the two graphs. The seeded graph matching problem is the graph matching problem when we are first given a partial alignment that we are tasked with completing. In this paper, we m…

Data-aware methods for dimensionality reduction and matrix decomposition aim to find low-dimensional structure in a collection of data. Classical approaches discover such structure by learning a basis that can efficiently express the collection. Recently, "self expression", the idea of using a small subset of data vect…

Bayesian X-Learner calibrates uncertainty and robustness for CATE estimation under heavy-tailed data.

Community detection is, at its core, an attempt to attach an interpretable function to an otherwise indecipherable form. The importance of labeling communities has obvious implications for identifying clusters in social networks, but it has a number of equally relevant applications in product recommendations, biologica…

ToolChain-CRC addresses the risk-control problem for retrieval-augmented and tool-using agents under drift.

We present a novel approximate graph matching algorithm that incorporates seeded data into the graph matching paradigm. Our Joint Optimization of Fidelity and Commensurability (JOFC) algorithm embeds two graphs into a common Euclidean space where the matching inference task can be performed. Through real and simulated …

Efficiently selects seed nodes to maximize content influence in unknown social networks.

Eradicating hunger and malnutrition is a key development goal of the 21st century. We address the problem of optimally identifying seed varieties to reliably increase crop yield within a risk-sensitive decision-making framework. Specifically, we introduce a novel hierarchical machine learning mechanism for predicting c…

New method measures model variability from stochastic optimization.

We prove that for a generic $3$-dimensional integrable rolling distribution of contact elements (excluding developable seed and isotropic developable leaves) isometric correspondence of leaves of a general nature (independent of the shape of the seed) requires the Bäcklund transformation.

PPM improves graph matching for correlated Gaussian Wigner models with high probability.

We present a parallelized bijective graph matching algorithm that leverages seeds and is designed to match very large graphs. Our algorithm combines spectral graph embedding with existing state-of-the-art seeded graph matching procedures. We justify our approach by proving that modestly correlated, large stochastic blo…

OmniMatch algorithm perfectly matches graphs without edge correlation.

A cluster variety of Fock and Goncharov is a scheme constructed from the data related to the cluster algebras of Fomin and Zelevinsky. A seed is a combinatorial data which can be encoded as an $n\times n$ matrix with integer entries, or as a quiver in special cases, together with $n$ formal variables. A mutation is a c…

We study a well known noisy model of the graph isomorphism problem. In this model, the goal is to perfectly recover the vertex correspondence between two edge-correlated Erdős-Rényi random graphs, with an initial seed set of correctly matched vertex pairs revealed as side information. For seeded problems, our result pr…

Regularization improves stability and consistency of sparse autoencoders.

We provide initial seedings to the Quick Shift clustering algorithm, which approximate the locally high-density regions of the data. Such seedings act as more stable and expressive cluster-cores than the singleton modes found by Quick Shift. We establish statistical consistency guarantees for this modification. We then…
