Outlier Detection Using Generative Models with Theoretical Performance Guarantees

no code implementations16 Oct 2023 Jirong Yi, Jingchao Gao, Tianming Wang, Xiaodong Wu, Weiyu Xu

We propose an outlier detection approach for reconstructing the ground-truth signals modeled by generative models under sparse outliers.

Mutual Information Learned Regressor: an Information-theoretic Viewpoint of Training Regression Systems

no code implementations23 Nov 2022 Jirong Yi, Qiaosheng Zhang, Zhen Chen, Qiao Liu, Wei Shao, Yusen He, Yaohua Wang

We first argue that the MSE minimization approach is equivalent to a conditional entropy learning problem, and then propose a mutual information learning formulation for solving regression problems by using a reparameterization technique.

Mutual Information Learned Classifiers: an Information-theoretic Viewpoint of Training Deep Learning Classification Systems

no code implementations3 Oct 2022 Jirong Yi, Qiaosheng Zhang, Zhen Chen, Qiao Liu, Wei Shao

Deep learning systems have been reported to acheive state-of-the-art performances in many applications, and one of the keys for achieving this is the existence of well trained classifiers on benchmark datasets which can be used as backbone feature extractors in downstream tasks.

Solving Large Scale Quadratic Constrained Basis Pursuit

no code implementations2 Apr 2021 Jirong Yi

Inspired by alternating direction method of multipliers and the idea of operator splitting, we propose a efficient algorithm for solving large-scale quadratically constrained basis pursuit.

Optimal Pooling Matrix Design for Group Testing with Dilution (Row Degree) Constraints

no code implementations5 Aug 2020 Jirong Yi, Myung Cho, Xiaodong Wu, Raghu Mudumbai, Weiyu Xu

In this paper, we consider the problem of designing optimal pooling matrix for group testing (for example, for COVID-19 virus testing) with the constraint that no more than $r>0$ samples can be pooled together, which we call "dilution constraint".

Derivation of Information-Theoretically Optimal Adversarial Attacks with Applications to Robust Machine Learning

no code implementations28 Jul 2020 Jirong Yi, Raghu Mudumbai, Weiyu Xu

We consider the theoretical problem of designing an optimal adversarial attack on a decision system that maximally degrades the achievable performance of the system as measured by the mutual information between the degraded signal and the label of interest.

Trust but Verify: An Information-Theoretic Explanation for the Adversarial Fragility of Machine Learning Systems, and a General Defense against Adversarial Attacks

no code implementations25 May 2019 Jirong Yi, Hui Xie, Leixin Zhou, Xiaodong Wu, Weiyu Xu, Raghuraman Mudumbai

In this paper, we present a simple hypothesis about a feature compression property of artificial intelligence (AI) classifiers and present theoretical arguments to show that this hypothesis successfully accounts for the observed fragility of AI classifiers to small adversarial perturbations.

Necessary and Sufficient Null Space Condition for Nuclear Norm Minimization in Low-Rank Matrix Recovery

no code implementations14 Feb 2018 Jirong Yi, Weiyu Xu

In [12, 14, 15], the authors established the necessary and sufficient null space conditions for nuclear norm minimization to recover every possible low-rank matrix with rank at most r (the strong null space condition).

Separation-Free Super-Resolution from Compressed Measurements is Possible: an Orthonormal Atomic Norm Minimization Approach

no code implementations4 Nov 2017 Weiyu Xu, Jirong Yi, Soura Dasgupta, Jian-Feng Cai, Mathews Jacob, Myung Cho

However, it is known that in order for TV minimization and atomic norm minimization to recover the missing data or the frequencies, the underlying $R$ frequencies are required to be well-separated, even when the measurements are noiseless.
