Ranking or assessing centrality in multivariate and non-Euclidean data is difficult because there is no canonical order and many depth notions become computationally fragile in high-dimensional or structured settings. We introduce a…

We introduce new centrality measures, called ksi-centrality and normalized ksi-centrality measure the importance of a node up to the importance of its neighbors. First, we show that normalized ksi-centrality can be rewritten in terms of the…

In this paper, we consider the problem of stochastic optimization under a bandit feedback model. We generalize the GP-UCB algorithm [Srinivas and al., 2012] to arbitrary kernels and search spaces. To do so, we use a notion of localized…

An estimation problem of fundamental interest is that of phase synchronization, in which the goal is to recover a collection of phases using noisy measurements of relative phases. It is known that in the Gaussian noise setting, the maximum…

We study sums of locally dependent scores associated with general marked (i.e., labeled) Euclidean point processes. We introduce geometric mixing conditions on the underlying point process and a Lipschitz-"localization" condition on the…

Gaussian process is a theoretically appealing model for nonparametric analysis, but its computational cumbersomeness hinders its use in large scale and the existing reduced-rank solutions are usually heuristic. In this work, we propose a…

This lecture note addresses the common misconception that the Gaussian distribution always yields the largest Cram\'er-Rao Bound (CRB). We show that this property only holds under restrictive conditions: specifically, when the mean and…

We present a continuous-time probabilistic approach for estimating the chirp signal and its instantaneous frequency function when the true forms of these functions are not accessible. Our model represents these functions by non-linearly…

The problem of performing similarity queries on compressed data is considered. We focus on the quadratic similarity measure, and study the fundamental tradeoff between compression rate, sequence length, and reliability of queries performed…

In modern radar systems, precise target localization using azimuth and velocity estimation is paramount. Traditional unbiased estimation methods have utilized gradient descent algorithms to reach the theoretical limits of the Cramer Rao…

This paper presents a framework for computing the Gromov-Wasserstein problem between two sets of points in low dimensional spaces, where the discrepancy is the squared Euclidean norm. The Gromov-Wasserstein problem is a generalization of…

This paper studies the problem of distributed weighted least-squares (WLS) estimation for an interconnected linear measurement network with additive noise. Two types of measurements are considered: self measurements for individual nodes,…

We consider the problem $(\mathrm{P})$ of fitting $n$ standard Gaussian random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$ to the boundary of a centered ellipsoid, as $n, d \to \infty$. This problem is conjectured to have a sharp feasibility transition: for…

We confirm a conjecture by Everett, Sinclair, and Dankelmann~[Some Centrality results new and old, J. Math. Sociology 28 (2004), 215--227] regarding the problem of maximizing closeness centralization in two-mode data, where the number of…

We introduce the notion of a centroidal locating set of a graph $G$, that is, a set $L$ of vertices such that all vertices in $G$ are uniquely determined by their relative distances to the vertices of $L$. A centroidal locating set of $G$…

This paper generalizes stochastic collocation methods to handle correlated non-Gaussian random parameters. The key challenge is to perform a multivariate numerical integration in a correlated parameter space when computing the coefficient…

Generalized linear model with $L_1$ and $L_2$ regularization is a widely used technique for solving classification, class probability estimation and regression problems. With the numbers of both features and examples growing rapidly in the…

The normal distribution plays a central role in information theory - it is at the same time the best-case signal and worst-case noise distribution, has the greatest representational capacity of any distribution, and offers an equivalence…

We show that the random point measures induced by vertices in the convex hull of a Poisson sample on the unit ball, when properly scaled and centered, converge to those of a mean zero Gaussian field. We establish limiting variance and…

The estimation of signal parameters using quantized data is a recurrent problem in electrical engineering. As an example, this includes the estimation of a noisy constant value and of the parameters of a sinewave, that is, its amplitude,…
