Bayesian Quadrature for Ratios
We describe a novel approach to quadrature for ratios of probabilistic integrals, such as are used to compute posterior probabilities. This approach offers performance superior t...

Age-Layered Expectation Maximization for Parameter Learning in Bayesian Networks
The expectation maximization (EM) algorithm is a popular algorithm for parameter estimation in models with hidden variables. However, the algorithm has several non-trivial limitat...

A General Framework for Structured Sparsity via Proximal Optimization
We study a generalized framework for structured sparsity. It extends the well known methods of Lasso and Group Lasso by incorporating additional constraints on the variables as pa...

Exact Covariance Thresholding into Connected Components for Large-Scale Graphical Lasso
We consider the sparse inverse covariance regularization problem or graphical lasso with regularization parameter λ. Suppose the sample covariance graph formed by thresholding th...

Minimax rates for homology inference
Often, high dimensional data lie close to a low-dimensional submanifold and it is of interest to understand the geometry of these submanifolds. The homology groups of a manifold a...

Beyond Logarithmic Bounds in Online Learning
We prove logarithmic regret bounds that depend on the loss L∗ T of the competitor rather than on the number T of time steps. In the general online convex optimization setting, o...
