A density operator, $\rho = {P}_{\alpha } |\alpha > <\alpha | + {P}_{\beta } |\beta > <\beta |$, with ${P}_{\alpha }$ and ${P}_{\beta }$ linearly independent normalized wave functions, must be traced normalized, so ${P}_{\beta } = 1 -…
Ensembles are widely used in machine learning and, usually, provide state-of-the-art performance in many prediction tasks. From the very beginning, the diversity of an ensemble has been identified as a key factor for the superior…
Ensembling is a popular method used to improve performance as a last resort. However, ensembling multiple models finetuned from a single pretrained model has been not very effective; this could be due to the lack of diversity among ensemble…

This work performs a non-asymptotic analysis of the generalized Lasso under the assumption of sub-exponential data. Our main results continue recent research on the benchmark case of (sub-)Gaussian sample distributions and thereby explore…
We consider n by n real matrices whose entries are non-degenerate random variables that are independent but non necessarily identically distributed, and show that the probability that such a matrix is singular is O(1/sqrt{n}). The purpose…
Loss reserving generally focuses on identifying a single model that can generate superior predictive performance. However, different loss reserving models specialise in capturing different aspects of loss data. This is recognised in…
Recent work has focused on the problem of nonparametric estimation of information divergence functionals. Many existing approaches are restrictive in their assumptions on the density support set or require difficult calculations at the…
Motivated by recommendation systems, we consider the problem of estimating block constant binary matrices (of size $m \times n$) from sparse and noisy observations. The observations are obtained from the underlying block constant matrix…
Model ensembles are becoming one of the most effective approaches for improving object detection performance already optimized for a single detector. Conventional methods directly fuse bounding boxes but typically fail to consider proposal…
In this paper, we study the effect of sparsity on the appearance of outliers in the semi-circular law. Let $(W_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ be a sequence of random symmetric matrices such that each $W_n$ is $n\times n$ with i.i.d entries above and on…
The density matrix formalism is a fundamental tool in studying various problems in quantum information processing. In the space of density matrices, the most well-known measures are the Hilbert-Schmidt and Bures-Hall ensembles. In this…
We survey a number of models from physics, statistical mechanics, probability theory and combinatorics, which are each described in terms of an orthogonal polynomial ensemble. The most prominent example is apparently the Hermite ensemble,…
The chaotic nature of fluid flow and the uncertainties in initial conditions limit predictability. Small errors that occur in the initial condition can grow exponentially until they saturate at $\mathcal{O}$(1). Ensemble forecasting…
The paper proposes a latent variable model for binary data coming from an unobserved heterogeneous population. The heterogeneity is taken into account by replacing the traditional assumption of Gaussian distributed factors by a finite…
Using techniques from Poisson approximation, we prove explicit error bounds on the number of permutations that avoid any pattern. Most generally, we bound the total variation distance between the joint distribution of pattern occurrences…
