Classification with positive and unlabeled (PU) data frequently arises in bioinformatics, clinical data, and ecological studies, where collecting negative samples can be prohibitively expensive. While prior works on PU data focus on binary…

Statistical learning theory chiefly studies restricted hypothesis classes, particularly those with finite Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension. The fundamental quantity of interest is the sample complexity: the number of samples required to…

In this paper, we establish the existence of the efficient solutions for polynomial vector optimization problems on a nonempty closed constraint set without any convexity and compactness assumptions. We first introduce the relative…

This paper is devoted to the multivariate estimation of a vector of Poisson means. A novel loss function that penalises bad estimates of each of the parameters and the sum (or equivalently the mean) of the parameters is introduced. Under…

Binary classifiers trained on a certain proportion of positive items introduce a bias when applied to data sets with different proportions of positive items. Most solutions for dealing with this issue assume that some information on the…

This thesis is a study of large sets of unit vectors in $\cx^n$ such that the absolute value of their standard inner products takes on only a small number of values. We begin with bounds: what is the maximal size of a set of lines with only…

For any positive integers $n\ge d+1\ge 3$, what is the maximum size of a $(d+1)$-uniform set system in $[n]$ with VC-dimension at most $d$? In 1984, Frankl and Pach initiated the study of this fundamental problem and provided an upper bound…

Assuming unitarity, locality, causality, and Lorentz invariance of the, otherwise unknown, UV completion, we derive a new set of constraints on the effective field theory coefficients for the most general, ghost-free Generalized Proca and…

We prove a unified and general criterion for the uniqueness of critical points of a functional in the presence of constraints such as positivity, boundedness, or fixed mass. Our method relies on convexity properties along suitable paths and…

In this work we classify the at-point regularities of set-valued mappings into two categories and then we analyze their relationship through several implications and examples. After this theoretical tour, we use the subregularity properties…

The Natarajan dimension is a fundamental tool for characterizing multi-class PAC learnability, generalizing the Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension from binary to multi-class classification problems. This work establishes upper bounds on…
