We present a minimax framework for classification that considers stochastic adversarial perturbations to the training data. We show that for binary classification it is equivale...
We develop a high dimensional nonparametric classification method named sparse additive machine (SAM), which can be viewed as a functional version of support vector machine (SVM)...
We transform the outputs of each hidden neuron in a multi-layer perceptron network to have zero output and zero slope on average, and use separate shortcut connections to model th...
We propose a novel mixtures of Gaussian processes model in which the gating function is interconnected with a probabilistic logical model, in our case Markov logic networks. In th...
We present a unifying framework for information theoretic feature selection, bringing almost two decades of research on heuristic filter criteria under a single theoretical inter...

We introduce the graphlet decomposition of a weighted network, which encodes a notion of social information based on social structure. We develop a scalable algorithm, which combi...
We propose a new method for comparing learning algorithms on multiple tasks which is based on a novel non-parametric test that we call the Poisson binomial test. The key aspect of...
We consider the multiple-response regression problem, where the response is subject to sparse gross errors, in the high-dimensional setup. We propose a tractable regularized M-est...
This paper proposes a new randomized strategy for adaptive MCMC using Bayesian optimization. This approach applies to nondifferentiable objective functions and trades off explor...
