Edge devices can benefit remarkably from federated learning due to their distributed nature; however, their limited resource and computing power poses limitations in deployment. A possible solution to this problem is to utilize…

Theoretical works on supervised transfer learning (STL) -- where the learner has access to labeled samples from both source and target distributions -- have for the most part focused on statistical aspects of the problem, while efficient…

We develop a statistical estimator to infer the redshift probability distribution of a photometric sample of galaxies from its angular cross-correlation in redshift bins with an overlapping spectroscopic sample. This estimator is a minimum…

We consider distributed optimization under communication constraints for training deep learning models. We propose a new algorithm, whose parameter updates rely on two forces: a regular gradient step, and a corrective direction dictated by…

The ratio of the average tangential shear signal of different weak lensing source populations around the same lens galaxies, also known as a shear ratio, provides an important test of lensing systematics and a potential source of…

In an earlier study, we showed that Tsallis relative entropy (TRE), which is the generalization of Kullback-Leibler relative entropy (KLRE) to non-extensive systems, can be used as a possible risk measure in constructing risk optimal…

Flexible models for probability distributions are an essential ingredient in many machine learning tasks. We develop and investigate a new class of probability distributions, which we call a Squared Neural Family (SNEFY), formed by squaring…

The Stochastic Backscatter Model involves the generation of a set of random variables characterised by prescribed correlations in space and time. These variables are obtained by smoothing an initially uncorrelated random field, which…

A method for numerical approximation of a new class of fractional parabolic stochastic evolution equations is introduced and analysed. This class of equations has recently been proposed as a space-time extension of the SPDE-method in…

Exponential families are widely used in machine learning, including many distributions in continuous and discrete domains (e.g., Gaussian, Dirichlet, Poisson, and categorical distributions via the softmax transformation). Distributions in…

This paper proposes factor stochastic volatility models with skew error distributions. The generalized hyperbolic skew t-distribution is employed for common-factor processes and idiosyncratic shocks. Using a Bayesian sparsity modeling…

We generalize the tree doubling and Christofides algorithm, the two most common approximations for TSP, to parameterized approximations for ATSP. The parameters we consider for the respective parameterizations are upper bounded by the…

We establish an identity for E f (Y) -E f (X), when X and Y both have matrix variateskew-normal distributions and the function f fulfills some weak conditions. Thecharacteristic function of matrix variate skew normal distribution is then…

This work proposes a framework for large-scale stochastic derivative-free optimization (DFO) by introducing STARS, a trust-region method based on iterative minimization in random subspaces. This framework is both an algorithmic and…

We propose and analyze a general goal-oriented adaptive strategy for approximating quantities of interest (QoIs) associated with solutions to linear elliptic partial differential equations with random inputs. The QoIs are represented by…

We develop a new randomized iterative algorithm---stochastic dual ascent (SDA)---for finding the projection of a given vector onto the solution space of a linear system. The method is dual in nature: with the dual being a non-strongly…

Demographic bias in high-performance face recognition (FR) systems often eludes detection by existing metrics, especially with respect to subtle disparities in the tails of the score distribution. We introduce the Comprehensive Equity Index…

A Wright function based framework is proposed to combine and extend several distribution families. The $\alpha$-stable distribution is generalized by adding the degree of freedom parameter. The PDF of this two-sided super distribution…

A previously developed modeling procedure for large eddy simulations (LESs) is extended to allow physical space implementations for inhomogeneous flows. The method is inspired by the well-established theoretical analyses and numerical…

The standard method to generate dynamical models with a finite extent is to apply a truncation in binding energy to the distribution function. This approach has the disadvantages that one cannot choose the density to start with, that the…
