Motivated by deep neural networks, the deep Gaussian process (DGP) generalizes the standard GP by stacking multiple layers of GPs. Despite the enhanced expressiveness, GP, as an $L_2$ regularization prior, tends to be over-smooth and…

We use the polynomial partitioning method of Guth to prove weighted Fourier restriction estimates in $\Bbb R^3$ with exponents $p$ that range between $3$ and $3.25$, depending on the weight. As a corollary to our main theorem, we obtain new…
Type-2 fuzzy set (T2 FS) were introduced by Zadeh in 1965, and the membership degrees of T2 FSs are type-1 fuzzy sets (T1 FSs). Owing to the fuzziness of membership degrees, T2 FSs can better model the uncertainty of real life, and thus,…
Regularization is often used in high-dimensional regression settings to generate a sparse model, which can save tremendous computing resources and identify predictors that are most strongly associated with the response. When the predictors…
Building on previous research of Chi and Chi (2022), the current paper revisits estimation in robust structured regression under the $\text{L}_2\text{E}$ criterion. We adopt the majorization-minimization (MM) principle to design a new…
