Conjugate-dual clusters
Silei Wang, Jing Tian, Jiayu Li +5
Discovery of clusters with high symmetrical geometry, such as C60 fullerene, always attract lots of interest because of their diverse nature. However, most of such interesting clus…
AIM 2024 Sparse Neural Rendering Challenge: Methods and Results
Michal Nazarczuk, Sibi Catley-Chandar, Thomas Tanay +27
This paper reviews the challenge on Sparse Neural Rendering that was part of the Advances in Image Manipulation (AIM) workshop, held in conjunction with ECCV 2024. This manuscript…
Robust Orthogonal Machine Learning of Treatment Effects
Yiyan Huang, Cheuk Hang Leung, Qi Wu +1
Causal learning is the key to obtaining stable predictions and answering \textit{what if} problems in decision-makings. In causal learning, it is central to seek methods to estimat…
Risk and return prediction for pricing portfolios of non-performing consumer credit
Siyi Wang, Xing Yan, Bangqi Zheng +4
We design a system for risk-analyzing and pricing portfolios of non-performing consumer credit loans. The rapid development of credit lending business for consumers heightens the n…
The Causal Learning of Retail Delinquency
Yiyan Huang, Cheuk Hang Leung, Xing Yan +4
This paper focuses on the expected difference in borrower's repayment when there is a change in the lender's credit decisions. Classical estimators overlook the confounding effects…
Decorr: Environment Partitioning for Invariant Learning and OOD Generalization
Yufan Liao, Qi Wu, Zhaodi Wu +1
Invariant learning methods, aimed at identifying a consistent predictor across multiple environments, are gaining prominence in out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization. Yet, when…
Ensemble Multi-Quantiles: Adaptively Flexible Distribution Prediction for Uncertainty Quantification
Xing Yan, Yonghua Su, Wenxuan Ma
