Fitting an immersed submanifold to data via Sussmann's orbit theorem
This paper describes an approach for fitting an immersed submanifold of a finite-dimensional Euclidean space to random samples.
Input-to-State Stable Neural Ordinary Differential Equations with Applications to Transient Modeling of Circuits
This paper proposes a class of neural ordinary differential equations parametrized by provably input-to-state stable continuous-time recurrent neural networks.
Information-theoretic generalization bounds for black-box learning algorithms
We derive information-theoretic generalization bounds for supervised learning algorithms based on the information contained in predictions rather than in the output of the training algorithm.
Minimum Excess Risk in Bayesian Learning
We analyze the best achievable performance of Bayesian learning under generative models by defining and upper-bounding the minimum excess risk (MER): the gap between the minimum expected loss attainable by learning from data and the minimum expected loss that could be achieved if the model realization were known.
Learning Recurrent Neural Net Models of Nonlinear Systems
We consider the following learning problem: Given sample pairs of input and output signals generated by an unknown nonlinear system (which is not assumed to be causal or time-invariant), we wish to find a continuous-time recurrent neural net with hyperbolic tangent activation function that approximately reproduces the underlying i/o behavior with high confidence.
Universal Simulation of Stable Dynamical Systems by Recurrent Neural Nets
It is well-known that continuous-time recurrent neural nets are universal approximators for continuous-time dynamical systems.
A mean-field theory of lazy training in two-layer neural nets: entropic regularization and controlled McKean-Vlasov dynamics
We first consider the mean-field limit, where the finite population of neurons in the hidden layer is replaced by a continual ensemble, and show that our problem can be phrased as global minimization of a free-energy functional on the space of probability measures over the weights.
Model-Augmented Estimation of Conditional Mutual Information for Feature Selection
In the second step, CI testing is performed by applying the $k$-NN conditional mutual information estimator to the learned feature maps.
Universal Approximation of Input-Output Maps by Temporal Convolutional Nets
There has been a recent shift in sequence-to-sequence modeling from recurrent network architectures to convolutional network architectures due to computational advantages in training and operation while still achieving competitive performance.
Neural Stochastic Differential Equations: Deep Latent Gaussian Models in the Diffusion Limit
In deep latent Gaussian models, the latent variable is generated by a time-inhomogeneous Markov chain, where at each time step we pass the current state through a parametric nonlinear map, such as a feedforward neural net, and add a small independent Gaussian perturbation.
Theoretical guarantees for sampling and inference in generative models with latent diffusions
We introduce and study a class of probabilistic generative models, where the latent object is a finite-dimensional diffusion process on a finite time interval and the observed variable is drawn conditionally on the terminal point of the diffusion.
Learning finite-dimensional coding schemes with nonlinear reconstruction maps
This paper generalizes the Maurer--Pontil framework of finite-dimensional lossy coding schemes to the setting where a high-dimensional random vector is mapped to an element of a compact set of latent representations in a lower-dimensional Euclidean space, and the reconstruction map belongs to a given class of nonlinear maps.
Local Optimality and Generalization Guarantees for the Langevin Algorithm via Empirical Metastability
For a particular local optimum of the empirical risk, with an arbitrary initialization, we show that, with high probability, at least one of the following two events will occur: (1) the Langevin trajectory ends up somewhere outside the $\varepsilon$-neighborhood of this particular optimum within a short recurrence time; (2) it enters this $\varepsilon$-neighborhood by the recurrence time and stays there until a potentially exponentially long escape time.
Information-theoretic analysis of generalization capability of learning algorithms
We derive upper bounds on the generalization error of a learning algorithm in terms of the mutual information between its input and output.
Minimax Statistical Learning with Wasserstein Distances
As opposed to standard empirical risk minimization (ERM), distributionally robust optimization aims to minimize the worst-case risk over a larger ambiguity set containing the original empirical distribution of the training data.
EE-Grad: Exploration and Exploitation for Cost-Efficient Mini-Batch SGD
We present a generic framework for trading off fidelity and cost in computing stochastic gradients when the costs of acquiring stochastic gradients of different quality are not known a priori.
Non-convex learning via Stochastic Gradient Langevin Dynamics: a nonasymptotic analysis
Stochastic Gradient Langevin Dynamics (SGLD) is a popular variant of Stochastic Gradient Descent, where properly scaled isotropic Gaussian noise is added to an unbiased estimate of the gradient at each iteration.
Coordinate Dual Averaging for Decentralized Online Optimization with Nonseparable Global Objectives
In ODA-C, to mitigate the disagreements on the primal-vector updates, the agents implement a generalization of the local information-exchange dynamics recently proposed by Li and Marden over a static undirected graph.
Online Markov decision processes with Kullback-Leibler control cost
This paper considers an online (real-time) control problem that involves an agent performing a discrete-time random walk over a finite state space.
Relax but stay in control: from value to algorithms for online Markov decision processes
Online learning algorithms are designed to perform in non-stationary environments, but generally there is no notion of a dynamic state to model constraints on current and future actions as a function of past actions.
Online discrete optimization in social networks in the presence of Knightian uncertainty
We study a model of collective real-time decision-making (or learning) in a social network operating in an uncertain environment, for which no a priori probabilistic model is available.
