On provable privacy vulnerabilities of graph representations

no code implementations6 Feb 2024 Ruofan Wu, Guanhua Fang, Qiying Pan, Mingyang Zhang, Tengfei Liu, Weiqiang Wang, Wenbiao Zhao

Graph representation learning (GRL) is critical for extracting insights from complex network structures, but it also raises security concerns due to potential privacy vulnerabilities in these representations.

Empirical Risk Minimization for Losses without Variance

no code implementations7 Sep 2023 Guanhua Fang, Ping Li, Gennady Samorodnitsky

This paper considers an empirical risk minimization problem under heavy-tailed settings, where data does not have finite variance, but only has $p$-th moment with $p \in (1, 2)$.

Copula for Instance-wise Feature Selection and Ranking

no code implementations1 Aug 2023 Hanyu Peng, Guanhua Fang, Ping Li

Instance-wise feature selection and ranking methods can achieve a good selection of task-friendly features for each sample in the context of neural networks.

A Cover Time Study of a non-Markovian Algorithm

no code implementations8 Jun 2023 Guanhua Fang, Gennady Samorodnitsky, Zhiqiang Xu

In this work, we stand on a theoretical perspective and show that the negative feedback strategy (a count-based exploration method) is better than the naive random walk search.

On Penalization in Stochastic Multi-armed Bandits

no code implementations15 Nov 2022 Guanhua Fang, Ping Li, Gennady Samorodnitsky

We study an important variant of the stochastic multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem, which takes penalization into consideration.

Catoni-style Confidence Sequences under Infinite Variance

no code implementations5 Aug 2022 Sujay Bhatt, Guanhua Fang, Ping Li, Gennady Samorodnitsky

In this paper, we provide an extension of confidence sequences for settings where the variance of the data-generating distribution does not exist or is infinite.

Best Subset Selection with Efficient Primal-Dual Algorithm

no code implementations5 Jul 2022 Shaogang Ren, Guanhua Fang, Ping Li

Best subset selection is considered the `gold standard' for many sparse learning problems.

A Note on Sparse Generalized Eigenvalue Problem

no code implementations NeurIPS 2021 Yunfeng Cai, Guanhua Fang, Ping Li

The sparse generalized eigenvalue problem (SGEP) aims to find the leading eigenvector with sparsity structure.

A new look at fairness in stochastic multi-armed bandit problems

no code implementations29 Sep 2021 Guanhua Fang, Ping Li, Gennady Samorodnitsky

Under such a framework, we propose a hard-threshold UCB-like algorithm, which enjoys many merits including asymptotic fairness, nearly optimal regret, better tradeoff between reward and fairness.

Identifiability of Bifactor Models

no code implementations22 Dec 2020 Guanhua Fang, Xin Xu, Jinxin Guo, Zhiliang Ying, Susu Zhang

The bifactor model and its extensions are multidimensional latent variable models, under which each item measures up to one subdimension on top of the primary dimension(s).

Online Estimation and Community Detection of Network Point Processes for Event Streams

1 code implementation3 Sep 2020 Guanhua Fang, Owen G. Ward, Tian Zheng

To circumvent this challenge, we propose a fast online variational inference algorithm for estimating the latent structure underlying dynamic event arrivals on a network, using continuous-time point process latent network models.
