There is growing body of learning problems for which it is natural to organize the parameters into matrix, so as to appropriately regularize the parameters under some matrix norm (in order to impose some more sophisticated prior knowledge).…

We describe stochastic calculus in the context of processes that are driven by an adapted point process of locally finite intensity and are differentiable between jumps. This includes Markov chains as well as non-Markov processes. By…

This chapter is divided into two parts. The first is largely expository and builds on Karandikar's axiomatisation of It{\^o} calculus for matrix-valued semimartin-gales. Its aim is to unfold in detail the algebraic structures implied for…

We study a class of ordinary differential equations with a non-Lipschitz point singularity, which admit non-unique solutions through this point. As a selection criterion, we introduce stochastic regularizations depending on the parameter…

This paper is a survey of methods for solving smooth (strongly) monotone stochastic variational inequalities. To begin with, we give the deterministic foundation from which the stochastic methods eventually evolved. Then we review methods…

Using the white noise space setting, we define and study stochastic integrals with respect to a class of stationary increment Gaussian processes. We focus mainly on continuous functions with values in the Kondratiev space of stochastic…

The article is devoted to the expansions of iterated Stratonovich stochastic integrals on the basis of the method of generalized multiple Fourier series that converge in the sense of norm in Hilbert space $L_2([t, T]^k),$ $k\in\mathbb{N}.$…

We introduce a novel stochastic regularization technique for deep neural networks, which decomposes a layer into multiple branches with different parameters and merges stochastically sampled combinations of the outputs from the branches…

Let $(\mathcal{E},D(\mathcal{E}))$ be a quasi-regular semi-Dirichlet form and $(X_t)_{t\geq0}$ be the associated Markov process. For $u\in D(\mathcal{E})_{loc}$, denote $A_t^{[u]}:=\tilde{u}(X_{t})-\tilde{u}(X_{0})$ and…

We consider minimization of stochastic functionals that are compositions of a (potentially) non-smooth convex function $h$ and smooth function $c$ and, more generally, stochastic weakly-convex functionals. We develop a family of stochastic…
