The design of informatively rich input signals is essential for accurate system identification, yet classical Fisher-information-based methods are inherently local and often inadequate in the presence of significant model uncertainty and…
Feature selection is an important and challenging task in high dimensional clustering. For example, in genomics, there may only be a small number of genes that are differentially expressed, which are informative to the overall clustering…
In this paper, we propose a new measure for detecting overlap in multivariate Gaussian clusters. The aim of online learning from data streams is to create clustering, classification, or regression models that can adapt over time based on…
Hierarchical data analysis is crucial in various fields for making discoveries. The linear mixed model is often used for training hierarchical data, but its parameter estimation is computationally expensive, especially with big data.…
Multimodal representation learning is commonly built on a shared-private decomposition, treating latent information as either common to all modalities or specific to one. This binary view is often inadequate: many factors are shared by only…
The use of Bayesian information criterion (BIC) in the model selection procedure is under the assumption that the observations are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.). However, in practice, we do not always have i.i.d. samples.…
For civil structures, structural damage due to severe loading events such as earthquakes, or due to long-term environmental degradation, usually occurs in localized areas of a structure. A new sparse Bayesian probabilistic framework for…
Heterogeneous sensor fusion is vital for detecting, localizing, and classifying CBRNE threats. However, individual sensors are often only capable of detecting a subset of relevant threats with varying reliability or can even provide only…
We propose Bayesian model averaging (BMA) as a method for postprocessing the results of model-based clustering. Given a number of competing models, appropriate model summaries are averaged, using the posterior model probabilities, instead…
Bayesian optimization is widely used for hyperparameter optimization when model evaluations are expensive; however, noisy acquisition estimates can lead to unstable decisions. We identify acquisition estimation noise as a failure mode that…
This paper presents a hierarchical Bayesian modeling framework for the uncertainty quantification in modal identification of linear dynamical systems using multiple vibration data sets. This novel framework integrates the state-of-the-art…
The perennial problem of "how many clusters?" remains an issue of substantial interest in data mining and machine learning communities, and becomes particularly salient in large data sets such as populational genomic data where the number…
We investigate the unsupervised node classification problem on random hypergraphs under the non-uniform Hypergraph Stochastic Block Model (HSBM) with two equal-sized communities. In this model, edges appear independently with probabilities…
In cluster analysis interest lies in probabilistically capturing partitions of individuals, items or observations into groups, such that those belonging to the same group share similar attributes or relational profiles. Bayesian posterior…
We consider the use of Bayesian information criteria for selection of the graph underlying an Ising model. In an Ising model, the full conditional distributions of each variable form logistic regression models, and variable selection…
Multi-view clustering leverages consistent and complementary information across multiple views to provide more comprehensive insights than single-view analysis. However, the heterogeneity and redundancy of multi-view data pose significant…
Multimodal sentiment analysis utilizes multiple heterogeneous modalities for sentiment classification. The recent multimodal fusion schemes customize LSTMs to discover intra-modal dynamics and design sophisticated attention mechanisms to…
We view the Information Bottleneck Principle (IBP: Tishby et al., 1999; Schwartz-Ziv and Tishby, 2017) and Predictive Information Bottleneck Principle (PIBP: Still et al., 2007; Alemi, 2019) as special cases of a family of general…
This article proposes a new method to estimate an existing mutual information based dependence measure using histogram density estimates. Finding a suitable bin length for histogram is an open problem. We propose a new way of computing the…
Although there is a rapidly growing literature on dynamic connectivity methods, the primary focus has been on separate network estimation for each individual, which fails to leverage common patterns of information. We propose novel…
