Nonlinear constrained optimization problems are encountered in many scientific fields. To utilize the huge calculation power of current computers, many mathematic models are also rebuilt as optimization problems. Most of them have…
Deep networks are increasingly applied to a wide variety of data, including data with high-dimensional predictors. In such analysis, variable selection can be needed along with estimation/model building. Many of the existing deep network…
We introduce RE-Adapt, an approach to fine-tuning large language models on new domains without degrading any pre-existing instruction-tuning. We reverse engineer an adapter which isolates what an instruction-tuned model has learned beyond…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are known for their expensive and time-consuming training. Thus, oftentimes, LLMs are fine-tuned to address a specific task, given the pretrained weights of a pre-trained LLM considered a foundation model. In…
This paper studies schemes to de-bias the Lasso in a linear model $y=X\beta+\epsilon$ where the goal is to construct confidence intervals for $a_0^T\beta$ in a direction $a_0$, where $X$ has iid $N(0,\Sigma)$ rows. We show that previously…

Reconstruction of gene regulatory networks is the process of identifying gene dependency from gene expression profile through some computation techniques. In our human body, though all cells pose similar genetic material but the activation…
The dynamics of a population exhibiting exponential growth can be modelled as a birth-death process, which naturally captures the stochastic variation in population size over time. In this article, we consider a supercritical birth-death…
Analysis of the sequence-structure relationship in RNA molecules are essential to evolutionary studies but also to concrete applications such as error-correction methodologies in sequencing technologies. The prohibitive sizes of the…
State Space Models (SSMs) are inherently recurrent along the sequence dimension, yet depth-recurrence - reusing the same block repeatedly across layers, as recently applied in looped transformers - has not been explored in this model…
This paper concerns statistical inference for the components of a high-dimensional regression parameter despite possible endogeneity of each regressor. Given a first-stage linear model for the endogenous regressors and a second-stage linear…

We describe a regularized regression model for the selection of gene-environment (GxE) interactions. The model focuses on a single environmental exposure and induces a main-effect-before-interaction hierarchical structure. We propose an…

Iterative refinement is particularly popular for numerical solution of linear systems of equations. We extend it to Low Rank Approximation of a matrix (LRA) and observe close link of the resulting algorithm to oversampling techniques,…
AI language models (LMs) show promise for biological sequence analysis. We re-engineered open-source LMs (GPT-2, BLOOM, DistilRoBERTa, ELECTRA, and Mamba, ranging from 70M to 12B parameters) for microbial sequence classification. The models…
Feedforward multilayer networks trained by supervised learning have recently demonstrated state of the art performance on image labeling problems such as boundary prediction and scene parsing. As even very low error rates can limit…
Many theoretical results for the lasso require the samples to be iid. Recent work has provided guarantees for the lasso assuming that the time series is generated by a sparse Vector Auto-Regressive (VAR) model with Gaussian innovations.…

Finite mixtures are a cornerstone of Bayesian modelling, and it is well-known that sampling from the resulting posterior distribution can be a hard task. In particular, popular reversible Markov chain Monte Carlo schemes are often slow to…
