We study the identity testing problem for high-dimensional distributions. Given as input an explicit distribution $\mu$, an $\varepsilon>0$, and access to sampling oracle(s) for a hidden distribution $\pi$, the goal in identity testing is…

In this paper, our aim is to highlight Tactile Perceptual Aliasing as a problem when using deep neural networks and other discriminative models. Perceptual aliasing will arise wherever a physical variable extracted from tactile data is…

Language is increasingly being used to define rich visual recognition problems with supporting image collections sourced from the web. Structured prediction models are used in these tasks to take advantage of correlations between…

The continuous nonlinear resource allocation problem (CONRAP) has broad applications in economics, engineering, production and inventory management, and often serves as a subproblem in complex programming. Without relying on monotonicity…

Data-driven identification of differential equations is an interesting but challenging problem, especially when the given data are corrupted by noise. When the governing differential equation is a linear combination of various differential…

This paper introduces a novel approach to system identification for nonlinear input-output models that minimizes the simulation error and frames the problem as a constrained optimization task. The proposed method addresses vanishing…

Much of the information the brain processes and stores is temporal in nature - a spoken word or a handwritten signature, for example, is defined by how it unfolds in time. However, it remains unclear how neural circuits encode complex…

Machine learning (ML) classifiers always benefit from more informative input features. We seek to auto-generate stronger feature sets in order to address the difficulty that ML methods often experience given limited training data. A wide…

Parameter-space and function-space provide two different duality frames in which to study neural networks. We demonstrate that symmetries of network densities may be determined via dual computations of network correlation functions, even…

In this paper we propose a scalable version of a state-of-the-art deterministic time-invariant feature extraction approach based on consecutive changes of basis and nonlinearities, namely, the scattering network. The first focus of the…

This paper investigates two issues on identification of switched linear systems: persistence of excitation and numerical algorithms. The main contribution is a much weaker condition on the regressor to be persistently exciting that…

Neuroscientists fit morphologically and biophysically detailed neuron simulations to physiological data, often using evolutionary algorithms. However, such gradient-free approaches are computationally expensive, making convergence slow when…

In this paper, we study sentiment analysis task where the outcomes are mainly contributed by a few key elements of the inputs. Motivated by the two-streams hypothesis, we propose a neural architecture, named TraceNet, to address this type…

One of the roadblocks to a better understanding of neural networks' internals is \textit{polysemanticity}, where neurons appear to activate in multiple, semantically distinct contexts. Polysemanticity prevents us from identifying concise,…

Context: Test smells are symptoms of sub-optimal design choices adopted when developing test cases. Previous studies have proved their harmfulness for test code maintainability and effectiveness. Therefore, researchers have been proposing…

While robotic perception has advanced rapidly in vision and touch, enabling robots to reason about indoor fungal contamination from weak, diffusion-dominated chemical signals remains an open challenge. We introduce Scensory, a…

Neurons can display highly variable dynamics. While such variability presumably supports the wide range of behaviors generated by the organism, their gene expressions are relatively stable in the adult brain. This suggests that neuronal…

Efficient pattern separation in dentate gyrus plays an important role in storing information in the hippocampus. Current knowledge of the structure and function of the hippocampus, entorhinal cortex and dentate gyrus, in pattern separation…

A single neuron is categorized as"multisensory" if there is a statistically significant difference between the response evoked by an audio-visual stimulus combination and that evoked by the most effective of its components individually.…

Representation learning algorithms offer the opportunity to learn invariant representations of the input data with regard to nuisance factors. Many authors have leveraged such strategies to learn fair representations, i.e., vectors where…
