Datasets for training recommender systems are often subject to distribution shift induced by users' and recommenders' selection biases. In this paper, we study the impact of selection bias on datasets with different quantization. We then…
In bipartite networks, community structures are restricted to being disassortative, in that nodes of one type are grouped according to common patterns of connection with nodes of the other type. This makes the stochastic block model (SBM),…
We present Neural Bayesian Filtering (NBF), an algorithm for maintaining distributions over hidden states, called beliefs, in partially observable systems. NBF is trained to find a good latent representation of the beliefs induced by a…
Hybrid Bayesian networks (HBN) contain complex conditional probabilistic distributions (CPD) specified as partitioned expressions over discrete and continuous variables. The size of these CPDs grows exponentially with the number of parent…
The paper continues the study of partitioning based inference of heuristics for search in the context of solving the Most Probable Explanation task in Bayesian Networks. We compare two systematic Branch and Bound search algorithms, BBBT…
Compared to supervised variable selection, the research on unsupervised variable selection is far behind. A forward partial-variable clustering full-variable loss (FPCFL) method is proposed for the corresponding challenges. An advantage is…
We present a new variant of serial right-looking supernodal sparse Cholesky factorization (RL). Our comparison of RL with the multifrontal method confirms that RL is simpler, slightly faster, and requires slightly less storage. The key to…
Bayesian Matrix Factorization (BMF) is a powerful technique for recommender systems because it produces good results and is relatively robust against overfitting. Yet BMF is more computationally intensive and thus more challenging to…
We present a novel theoretical result that generalises the Discriminative Restricted Boltzmann Machine (DRBM). While originally the DRBM was defined assuming the {0, 1}-Bernoulli distribution in each of its hidden units, this result makes…
Stochastic planning can be reduced to probabilistic inference in large discrete graphical models, but hardness of inference requires approximation schemes to be used. In this paper we argue that such applications can be disentangled along…
Bayesian mixture models are widely used for clustering of high-dimensional data with appropriate uncertainty quantification. However, as the dimension of the observations increases, posterior inference often tends to favor too many or too…
With the recent paradigm shift from cytotoxic drugs to new generation of target therapy and immuno-oncology therapy during oncology drug developments, patients with various cancer (sub)types may be eligible to participate in a basket trial…
Classification models are very sensitive to data uncertainty, and finding robust classifiers that are less sensitive to data uncertainty has raised great interest in the machine learning literature. This paper aims to construct robust…
An algorithm to improve performance parameter for unsupervised decision forest clustering and density estimation is presented. Specifically, a dual assignment parameter is introduced as a density estimator by combining Random Forest and…
Two notable examples of dual functionals in approximation theory and computer-aided geometric design are the blossom and the divided difference operator. Both of these dual functionals satisfy a similar set of formulas and identities.…
Predictive queries over spatiotemporal (ST) stream data pose significant data processing and analysis challenges. ST data streams involve a set of time series whose data distributions may vary in space and time, exhibiting multiple distinct…
Despite their widespread use in cell biology, fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) data-sets are challenging to analyse, because each spatial position can contain a superposition of multiple fluorescent components. Here, we…
Bilateral filtering (BF) is one of the most classical denoising filters, however, the manually initialized filtering kernel hampers its adaptivity across images with various characteristics. To deal with image variation (i.e.,…
Collaborative path planning for robot swarms in complex, unknown environments without external positioning is a challenging problem. This requires robots to find safe directions based on real-time environmental observations, and to…
The scalability of a particular visualization approach is limited by the ability for people to discern differences between plots made with different datasets. Ideally, when the data changes, the visualization changes in perceptible ways.…
