Learning by Random Features: Sharp Asymptotics and Universality Laws

Learning by Random Features: Sharp Asymptotics and Universality Laws
Wed, Dec 8, 2021, 4:30 pm
Many new random matrix ensembles arise in learning and modern signal processing. As shown in recent studies, the spectral properties of these matrices help answer crucial questions regarding the training and generalization performance of neural networks, and the fundamental limits of high-dimensional signal recovery. As a result, there has been...

Bayesian Risk Optimization (BRO): A New Approach to Data-driven Stochastic Optimization

Bayesian Risk Optimization (BRO): A New Approach to Data-driven Stochastic Optimization
A large class of stochastic optimization problems involves optimizing an expectation taken with respect to an underlying distribution that is unknown in practice. One popular approach to addressing the distributional uncertainty, known as the distributionally robust optimization (DRO), is to hedge against the worst case among an ambiguity set of...

MCMC vs. Variational Inference -- for Credible Learning and Decision-Making at Scale

MCMC vs. Variational Inference -- for Credible Learning and Decision-Making at Scale
I will introduce some recent progress towards understanding the scalability of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods and their comparative advantage with respect to variational inference. I will discuss an optimization perspective on the infinite dimensional probability space, where MCMC leverages stochastic sample paths while variational...

Optimal No-Regret Learning in Repeated First-Price Auctions

Optimal No-Regret Learning in Repeated First-Price Auctions
First-price auctions have very recently swept the online advertising industry, replacing second-price auctions as the predominant auction mechanism on many platforms for display ads bidding. This shift has brought forth important challenges for a bidder: how should one bid in a first-price auction, where unlike in second-price auctions, it is no...

From Shallow to Deep Representation Learning: Global Nonconvex Theory and Algorithms

From Shallow to Deep Representation Learning: Global Nonconvex Theory and Algorithms
In this talk, we consider two fundamental problems in signal processing and machine learning: (convolutional) dictionary learning and deep network training. For both problems, we provide the first global nonconvex landscape analysis of the learned representations, which will in turn provide new guiding principles for better model/architecture...

CITP Seminar: Alex Hanna – Beyond Bias: Algorithmic Unfairness, Infrastructure, and Genealogies of Data

CITP Seminar: Alex Hanna – Beyond Bias: Algorithmic Unfairness, Infrastructure, and Genealogies of Data
Problems of algorithmic bias are often framed in terms of lack of representative data or formal fairness optimization constraints to be applied to automated decision-making systems. However, these discussions sidestep deeper issues with data used in AI, including problematic categorizations and the extractive logics of crowdwork and data mining....
