Learning Optimal Interventions

no code implementations16 Jun 2016 Jonas Mueller, David N. Reshef, George Du, Tommi Jaakkola

Assuming the underlying relationship remains invariant under intervention, we develop efficient algorithms to identify the optimal intervention policy from limited data and provide theoretical guarantees for our approach in a Gaussian Process setting.

Measuring dependence powerfully and equitably

no code implementations9 May 2015 Yakir A. Reshef, David N. Reshef, Hilary K. Finucane, Pardis C. Sabeti, Michael M. Mitzenmacher

A common strategy is to evaluate a measure of dependence on every variable pair and retain the highest-scoring pairs for follow-up.

An Empirical Study of Leading Measures of Dependence

no code implementations9 May 2015 David N. Reshef, Yakir A. Reshef, Pardis C. Sabeti, Michael M. Mitzenmacher

In addition to equitability, measures of dependence can also be assessed by the power of their corresponding independence tests as well as their runtime.

Mutual Information Estimation

Theoretical Foundations of Equitability and the Maximal Information Coefficient

no code implementations21 Aug 2014 Yakir A. Reshef, David N. Reshef, Pardis C. Sabeti, Michael Mitzenmacher

Introducing MIC_* also enables us to reason about the properties of MIC more abstractly: for instance, we show that MIC_* is continuous and that there is a sense in which it is a canonical "smoothing" of mutual information.
