Probabilistic Best Subset Selection via Gradient-Based Optimization

1 code implementation11 Jun 2020 Mingzhang Yin, Nhat Ho, Bowei Yan, Xiaoning Qian, Mingyuan Zhou

This paper proposes a novel optimization method to solve the exact L0-regularized regression problem, which is also known as the best subset selection.

Consistent Classification with Generalized Metrics

no code implementations24 Aug 2019 Xiaoyan Wang, Ran Li, Bowei Yan, Oluwasanmi Koyejo

We propose a framework for constructing and analyzing multiclass and multioutput classification metrics, i. e., involving multiple, possibly correlated multiclass labels.

Mean Field for the Stochastic Blockmodel: Optimization Landscape and Convergence Issues

no code implementations NeurIPS 2018 Soumendu Sundar Mukherjee, Purnamrita Sarkar, Y. X. Rachel Wang, Bowei Yan

Variational approximation has been widely used in large-scale Bayesian inference recently, the simplest kind of which involves imposing a mean field assumption to approximate complicated latent structures.
