Knockoff variable selection is a powerful framework that creates synthetic knockoff variables to mirror the correlation structure of the observed features, enabling principled control of the false discovery rate in variable selection.…
The false discovery rate (FDR)---the expected fraction of spurious discoveries among all the discoveries---provides a popular statistical assessment of the reproducibility of scientific studies in various disciplines. In this work, we…
Inducing point Gaussian process approximations are often considered a gold standard in uncertainty estimation since they retain many of the properties of the exact GP and scale to large datasets. A major drawback is that they have…
Deep kernel learning (DKL) leverages the connection between Gaussian process (GP) and neural networks (NN) to build an end-to-end, hybrid model. It combines the capability of NN to learn rich representations under massive data and the…
Controlled feature selection aims to discover the features a response depends on while limiting the false discovery rate (FDR) to a predefined level. Recently, multiple deep-learning-based methods have been proposed to perform controlled…
Modern scientific studies often require the identification of a subset of relevant explanatory variables, in the attempt to understand an interesting phenomenon. Several statistical methods have been developed to automate this task, but…
In modern scientific research, the objective is often to identify which variables are associated with an outcome among a large class of potential predictors. This goal can be achieved by selecting variables in a manner that controls the the…
The knockoff filter is a recent false discovery rate (FDR) control method for high-dimensional linear models. We point out that knockoff has three key components: ranking algorithm, augmented design, and symmetric statistic, and each…

In feature selection problems, knockoffs are synthetic controls for the original features. Employing knockoffs allows analysts to use nearly any variable importance measure or "feature statistic" to select features while rigorously…
As vast databases of chemical identities become increasingly available, the challenge shifts to how we effectively explore and leverage these resources to study molecular properties. This paper presents an active learning approach for…
We tackle the problem of selecting from among a large number of variables those that are 'important' for an outcome. We consider situations where groups of variables are also of interest in their own right. For example, each variable might…
Variable selection properties of procedures utilizing penalized-likelihood estimates is a central topic in the study of high dimensional linear regression problems. Existing literature emphasizes the quality of ranking of the variables by…
