For α∈(1,2), we present a generalized central limit theorem for α-stable random variables under sublinear expectation. The foundation of our proof is an interior regularity estimate for partial integro-differential equations (PIDEs). A classical generalized central limit theorem is recovered as a special case, p…
The output scores of a neural network classifier are converted to probabilities via normalizing over the scores of all competing categories. Computing this partition function, Z, is then linear in the number of categories, which is problematic as real-world problem sets continue to grow in categorical types, such as …
We study the problem of estimating the expected reward of the optimal policy in the stochastic disjoint linear bandit setting. We prove that for certain settings it is possible to obtain an accurate estimate of the optimal policy value even with a number of samples that is sublinear in the number that would be required…
Probabilistic programming languages can simplify the development of machine learning techniques, but only if inference is sufficiently scalable. Unfortunately, Bayesian parameter estimation for highly coupled models such as regressions and state-space models still scales poorly; each MCMC transition takes linear time i…
The aim of this paper is to introduce the sublinear Higson corona and show that the sublinear Higson corona of Euclidean cone of P and X is decomposed into the product of P and that of X. Here P is a compact metric space and X is unbounded proper metric space. For example, the sublinear Higson corona of n-dimensional E…
We give a proof of the sublinear tracking property for sample paths of random walks on various groups acting on spaces with hyperbolic-like properties. As an application, we prove sublinear tracking in Teichmueller distance for random walks on mapping class groups, and on Cayley graphs of a large class of finitely gene…
We consider the problem of estimating how well a model class is capable of fitting a distribution of labeled data. We show that it is often possible to accurately estimate this "learnability" even when given an amount of data that is too small to reliably learn any accurate model. Our first result applies to the settin…
We study the growth of harmonic functions on complete Riemann-ian manifolds where the extrinsic diameter of geodesic spheres is sublinear. It is an generalization of a result of A. Kazue. We also get a Cheng and Yau estimates for the gradient of harmonic functions.
We provide a general construction of time-consistent sublinear expectations on the space of continuous paths. It yields the existence of the conditional G-expectation of a Borel-measurable (rather than quasi-continuous) random variable, a generalization of the random G-expectation, and an optional sampling theorem that…
Sublinear functionals of random variables are known as sublinear expectations; they are convex homogeneous functionals on infinite-dimensional linear spaces. We extend this concept for set-valued functionals defined on measurable set-valued functions (which form a nonlinear space), equivalently, on random closed sets. …
This paper introduces an intermediary between conditional expectation and conditional sublinear expectation, called R-conditioning. The R-conditioning of a random-vector in L2 is defined as the best L2-estimate, given a σ-subalgebra and a degree of model uncertainty. When the random vector represents the payoff…
We present the first sublinear memory sketch that can be queried to find the nearest neighbors in a dataset. Our online sketching algorithm compresses an N element dataset to a sketch of size O(Nblog3N) in O(N(b+1)log3N) time, where b<1. This sketch can correctly report the nearest neighbors of any …
problem Current FBO methods are limited to static offline settings and perform poorly in online, non-stationary scenarios.
method SmoothFBO introduces a time-smoothed stochastic hypergradient estimator with a window parameter to handle non-stationarity.
result SmoothFBO achieves sublinear regret and outperforms existing methods in non-stationary hyperparameter optimization and model-based reinforcement learning.
