Genetic interactions confer robustness on cells in response to genetic perturbations. This often occurs through molecular buffering mechanisms that can be predicted using, among other features, the degree of coexpression between genes,…
In this paper, we propose a probabilistic model for computing an interpolative decomposition (ID) in which each column of the observed matrix has its own priority or importance, so that the end result of the decomposition finds a set of…
This paper addresses the tradeoffs which need to be considered in reasoning using probabilistic network representations, such as Influence Diagrams (IDs). In particular, we examine the tradeoffs entailed in using Temporal Influence Diagrams…
Since the structure of complex networks is often unknown, we may identify the most influential seed nodes by exploring only a part of the underlying network, given a small budget for node queries. We propose IM-META, a solution to influence…
Pliable Index CODing (PICOD) is a variant of the Index Coding (IC) problem in which a user is satisfied whenever it can successfully decode any one message that is not in its side information set, as opposed to a fixed pre-determined…
This paper studies the Pliable Index CODing problem (PICOD), which models content-type distribution networks. In the PICOD$(t)$ problem there are $m$ messages, $n$ users and each user has a distinct message side information set, as in the…
Causal identification is at the core of the causal inference literature, where complete algorithms have been proposed to identify causal queries of interest. The validity of these algorithms hinges on the restrictive assumption of having…
This paper studies structured node classification on graphs, where the predictions should consider dependencies between the node labels. In particular, we focus on solving the problem for partially labeled graphs where it is essential to…
Partial differential equations (PDEs) are commonly employed to model complex industrial systems characterized by multivariable dependence. Existing physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) excel in solving PDEs in a homogeneous medium.…
Pursuing more complete and coherent scene understanding towards realistic vision applications drives edge detection from category-agnostic to category-aware semantic level. However, finer delineation of instance-level boundaries still…
In social networks, a node's position is a form of \it{social capital}. Better-positioned members not only benefit from (faster) access to diverse information, but innately have more potential influence on information spread. Structural…
Recent work has shown that strong-form physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) based on pointwise enforcement of differential operators can be ill-posed due to the combination of sufficiently expressive neural network trial spaces with…
In this paper, we study local information privacy (LIP), and design LIP based mechanisms for statistical aggregation while protecting users' privacy without relying on a trusted third party. The notion of context-awareness is incorporated…
Distributed computation in artificial life and complex systems is often described in terms of component operations on information: information storage, transfer and modification. Information modification remains poorly described however,…
I study partial identification of distributional parameters in triangular systems. This model consists of a nonparametric outcome equation and a selection equation. This allows for general unobserved heterogeneity and selection on…
The ability to integrate information in the brain is considered to be an essential property for cognition and consciousness. Integrated Information Theory (IIT) hypothesizes that the amount of integrated information ($\Phi$) in the brain is…
We study the problem of {\em impartial selection}, a topic that lies at the intersection of computational social choice and mechanism design. The goal is to select the most popular individual among a set of community members. The input can…
The partial monitoring (PM) framework provides a theoretical formulation of sequential learning problems with incomplete feedback. On each round, a learning agent plays an action while the environment simultaneously chooses an outcome. The…
The detection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is critical for privacy compliance but remains challenging in low-resource languages due to linguistic diversity and limited annotated data. We present RECAP, a hybrid framework…
In industrial defect segmentation tasks, while pixel accuracy and Intersection over Union (IoU) are commonly employed metrics to assess segmentation performance, the output consistency (also referred to equivalence) of the model is often…
