Statistical and Computational Trade-offs in Variational Inference: A Case Study in Inferential Model Selection

no code implementations22 Jul 2022 Kush Bhatia, Nikki Lijing Kuang, Yi-An Ma, Yixin Wang

Focusing on Gaussian inferential models (or variational approximating families) with diagonal plus low-rank precision matrices, we initiate a theoretical study of the trade-offs in two aspects, Bayesian posterior inference error and frequentist uncertainty quantification error.

Analysis of Evolutionary Behavior in Self-Learning Media Search Engines

no code implementations22 Nov 2019 Nikki Lijing Kuang, Clement H. C. Leung

In a SelfLearning Search Engine architecture, the subtle nuances of human perceptions and deep knowledge are taught and captured through unsupervised reinforcement learning, where the degree of reinforcement may be suitably calibrated.

Performance Dynamics and Termination Errors in Reinforcement Learning: A Unifying Perspective

no code implementations11 Feb 2019 Nikki Lijing Kuang, Clement H. C. Leung

A situation that often calls for learning termination is when the number of negative rewards exceeds the number of positive rewards.

Stochastic Reinforcement Learning

no code implementations11 Feb 2019 Nikki Lijing Kuang, Clement H. C. Leung, Vienne W. K. Sung

In reinforcement learning episodes, the rewards and punishments are often non-deterministic, and there are invariably stochastic elements governing the underlying situation.
