Large-scale Nonlinear Variable Selection via Kernel Random Features
We propose a new method for input variable selection in nonlinear regression. The method is embedded into a kernel regression machine that can model general nonlinear functions, not being a priori limited to additive models. This is the first kernel-based variable selection method applicable to large datasets. It sid...

Determinantal Point Processes for Mini-Batch Diversification
We study a mini-batch diversification scheme for stochastic gradient descent (SGD). While classical SGD relies on uniformly sampling data points to form a mini-batch, we propose a non-uniform sampling scheme based on the Determinantal Point Process (DPP). The DPP relies on a similarity measure between data points and...

Proton-induced halo formation in charged meteors
Despite a very long history of meteor science, our understanding of meteor ablation and its shocked plasma physics is still far from satisfactory as we are still missing the microphysics of meteor shock formation and its plasma dynamics. Here we argue that electrons and ions in the meteor plasma above $\sim$100 km al...

Generalised Seiberg-Witten equations and almost-Hermitian geometry
In this article, we study a generalisation of the Seiberg-Witten equations, replacing the spinor representation with a hyperKahler manifold equipped with certain symmetries. Central to this is the construction of a (non-linear) Dirac operator acting on the sections of the non-linear fibre-bundle. For hyperKahler mani...

A Recurrent Neural Network for Sentiment Quantification
Quantification is a supervised learning task that consists in predicting, given a set of classes C and a set D of unlabelled items, the prevalence (or relative frequency) p(c|D) of each class c in C. Quantification can in principle be solved by classifying all the unlabelled items and counting how many of them have b...

Quasi-ordered Rings
A quasi-order is a binary, reflexive and transitive relation. In the Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra 45 (1987), S.M. Fakhruddin introduced the notion of (totally) quasi-ordered fields and showed that each such field is either an ordered field or else a valued field. Hence, quasi-ordered fields are very well suite...

A stable and optimally convergent LaTIn-Cut Finite Element Method for multiple unilateral contact problems
In this paper, we propose a novel unfitted finite element method for the simulation of multiple body contact. The computational mesh is generated independently of the geometry of the interacting solids, which can be arbitrarily complex. The key novelty of the approach is the combination of elements of the CutFEM tech...

Beyond Parity: Fairness Objectives for Collaborative Filtering
We study fairness in collaborative-filtering recommender systems, which are sensitive to discrimination that exists in historical data. Biased data can lead collaborative-filtering methods to make unfair predictions for users from minority groups. We identify the insufficiency of existing fairness metrics and propose...

Blind Regression via Nearest Neighbors under Latent Variable Models
We consider the setup of nonparametric 'blind regression' for estimating the entries of a large $m \times n$ matrix, when provided with a small, random fraction of noisy measurements. We assume that all rows $u \in [m]$ and columns $i \in [n]$ of the matrix are associated to latent features $x_1(u)$ and $x_2(i)$ resp...

Towards Provably Safe Mixed Transportation Systems with Human-driven and Automated Vehicles
Currently, we are in an environment where the fraction of automated vehicles is negligibly small. We anticipate that this fraction will increase in coming decades before if ever, we have a fully automated transportation system. Motivated by this we address the problem of provable safety of mixed traffic consisting of...

Streaming kernel regression with provably adaptive mean, variance, and regularization
We consider the problem of streaming kernel regression, when the observations arrive sequentially and the goal is to recover the underlying mean function, assumed to belong to an RKHS. The variance of the noise is not assumed to be known. In this context, we tackle the problem of tuning the regularization parameter a...

Improving Palliative Care with Deep Learning
Improving the quality of end-of-life care for hospitalized patients is a priority for healthcare organizations. Studies have shown that physicians tend to over-estimate prognoses, which in combination with treatment inertia results in a mismatch between patients wishes and actual care at the end of life. We describe ...

Scalable Online Convolutional Sparse Coding
Convolutional sparse coding (CSC) improves sparse coding by learning a shift-invariant dictionary from the data. However, existing CSC algorithms operate in the batch mode and are expensive, in terms of both space and time, on large datasets. In this paper, we alleviate these problems by using online learning. The ke...

Improving Speech Related Facial Action Unit Recognition by Audiovisual Information Fusion
It is challenging to recognize facial action unit (AU) from spontaneous facial displays, especially when they are accompanied by speech. The major reason is that the information is extracted from a single source, i.e., the visual channel, in the current practice. However, facial activity is highly correlated with voi...

On the Expected Value of the Determinant of Random Sum of Rank-One Matrices
We present a simple, yet useful result about the expected value of the determinant of random sum of rank-one matrices. Computing such expectations in general may involve a sum over exponentially many terms. Nevertheless, we show that an interesting and useful class of such expectations that arise in, e.g., D-optimal ...
