We consider a problem of manifold estimation from noisy observations. Many manifold learning procedures locally approximate a manifold by a weighted average over a small neighborhood. However, in the presence of large noise, the assigned…
In the convolution model $Z\_i=X\_i+ \epsilon\_i$, we give a model selection procedure to estimate the density of the unobserved variables $(X\_i)\_{1 \leq i \leq n}$, when the sequence $(X\_i)\_{i \geq 1}$ is strictly stationary but not…

The K-means algorithm is among the most commonly used data clustering methods. However, the regular K-means can only be applied in the input space and it is applicable when clusters are linearly separable. The kernel K-means, which extends…

Nonparametric kernel density estimation is a very natural procedure which simply makes use of the smoothing power of the convolution operation. Yet, it performs poorly when the density of a positive variable is to be estimated (boundary…

Calibrated probabilistic classifiers are models whose predicted probabilities can directly be interpreted as uncertainty estimates. It has been shown recently that deep neural networks are poorly calibrated and tend to output overconfident…
Several statistical approaches based on reproducing kernels have been proposed to detect abrupt changes arising in the full distribution of the observations and not only in the mean or variance. Some of these approaches enjoy good…
