Title: Deep Asymmetric Multi-task Feature Learning, Abstract: We propose Deep Asymmetric Multitask Feature Learning (Deep-AMTFL) which can learn deep representations shared across multiple tasks while effectively preventing negative transfer that may happen in the feature sharing process. Specifically, we introduce an ...

Title: When is the mode functional the Bayes classifier?, Abstract: In classification problems, the mode of the conditional probability distribution, i.e., the most probable category, is the Bayes classifier under zero-one or misclassification loss. Under any other cost structure, the mode fails to persist.

Title: CredSaT: Credibility Ranking of Users in Big Social Data incorporating Semantic Analysis and Temporal Factor, Abstract: The widespread use of big social data has pointed the research community in several significant directions. In particular, the notion of social trust has attracted a great deal of attention fro...

Title: On singular Finsler foliation, Abstract: In this paper we introduce the concept of singular Finsler foliation, which generalizes the concepts of Finsler actions, Finsler submersions and (regular) Finsler foliations. We show that if $\mathcal{F}$ is a singular Finsler foliation on a Randers manifold $(M,Z)$ with ...

Title: Large-Scale Cox Process Inference using Variational Fourier Features, Abstract: Gaussian process modulated Poisson processes provide a flexible framework for modelling spatiotemporal point patterns. So far this had been restricted to one dimension, binning to a pre-determined grid, or small data sets of up to a ...

Title: Buildings-to-Grid Integration Framework, Abstract: This paper puts forth a mathematical framework for Buildings-to-Grid (BtG) integration in smart cities. The framework explicitly couples power grid and building's control actions and operational decisions, and can be utilized by buildings and power grids operato...
