Risk prediction models are often advertised as deterministic functions that map covariates to predicted risks. However, they are typically trained using finite samples, and as such, their predictions are inherently uncertain. This…
Age of information (AoI) is a performance metric that captures the freshness of status updates. While AoI has been studied thoroughly for point-to-point links, the impact of modern random-access protocols on this metric is still unclear. In…
Age of information (AoI) is gaining attention as a valuable performance metric for many IoT systems, in which a large number of devices report time-stamped updates to a central gateway. This is the case, for instance, of remote sensing,…
The beneficial effects of treatments vary across individuals in most studies. Treatment heterogeneity motivates practitioners to search for the optimal policy based on personal characteristics. A long-standing common practice in policy…
Flanking traditional metrics such as throughput and reliability, age of information (AoI) is emerging as a fundamental tool to capture the performance of IoT systems. In this context, we focus on a setup in which a large number of nodes…
How should one combine noisy information from diverse sources to make an inference about an objective ground truth? This frequently recurring, normative question lies at the core of statistics, machine learning, policy-making, and everyday…
In this chapter, we present our recent invention, i.e., the notion of the value of information$\unicode{x2014}$a semantic metric that is fundamental for networked control systems tasks. We begin our analysis by formulating a causal tradeoff…
Age of information (AoI) is an effective measure to quantify the information freshness in wireless status update systems. It has been further validated that the peak AoI has the potential to capture the core characteristics of the aging…
Training data increasingly shapes not only model accuracy but also regulatory compliance and market valuation of AI assets. Yet existing valuation methods remain inadequate: model-based techniques depend on a single fitted model and inherit…
Event argument extraction (EAE) aims to extract arguments with given roles from texts, which have been widely studied in natural language processing. Most previous works have achieved good performance in specific EAE datasets with dedicated…
Credit risk modeling relies extensively on Weight of Evidence (WoE) and Information Value (IV) for feature engineering, and Population Stability Index (PSI) for drift monitoring, yet their theoretical foundations remain disconnected. We…
Time-aware data valuation enhances training efficiency and model robustness, as early detection of harmful samples could prevent months of wasted computation. However, existing methods rely on model retraining or convergence assumptions or…
Deploying Lagrangian drifters that facilitate the state estimation of the underlying flow field within a future time interval is practically important. However, the uncertainty in estimating the flow field prevents using standard…
Weakly supervised question answering usually has only the final answers as supervision signals while the correct solutions to derive the answers are not provided. This setting gives rise to the spurious solution problem: there may exist…
Variational autoencoders (VAEs) have ushered in a new era of unsupervised learning methods for complex distributions. Although these techniques are elegant in their approach, they are typically not useful for representation learning. In…
Multiple agents are increasingly combined to make decisions with the expectation of achieving complementary performance, where the decisions they make together outperform those made individually. However, knowing how to improve the…
Diffusion bridge models have recently become a powerful tool in the field of generative modeling. In this work, we leverage their power to address another important problem in machine learning and information theory, the estimation of the…
Firms that price perishable resources -- airline seats, hotel rooms, seasonal inventory -- now routinely use demand predictions, but these predictions vary widely in quality. Under hard capacity constraints, acting on an inaccurate…
The estimation of the Extreme Value Index (EVI) is fundamental in extreme value analysis but suffers from high variance due to reliance on only a few extreme observations. We propose a control variates based transfer learning approach in a…
It is often advantageous to train models on a subset of the available train examples, because the examples are of variable quality or because one would like to train with fewer examples, without sacrificing performance. We present Gradient…
