Minimax optimality of deep neural networks on dependent data via PAC-Bayes bounds

Pierre Alquier, William Kengne

In a groundbreaking work, Schmidt-Hieber (2020) proved the minimax optimality of deep neural networks with ReLu activation for least-square regression estimation over a large class…

Learning with Importance Weighted Variational Inference

Kamélia Daudel, François Roueff

Several variational bounds involving importance weighting ideas generalize the Evidence Lower BOund (ELBO) for marginal likelihood optimization, such as the Importance-weighted Aut…

Logarithmic Smoothing for Pessimistic Off-Policy Evaluation, Selection and Learning

Otmane Sakhi, Imad Aouali, Pierre Alquier +1

This work investigates the offline formulation of the contextual bandit problem, where the goal is to leverage past interactions collected under a behavior policy to evaluate, sele…

Bayes meets Bernstein at the Meta Level: an Analysis of Fast Rates in Meta-Learning with PAC-Bayes

Charles Riou, Pierre Alquier, Badr-Eddine Chérief-Abdellatif

Bernstein's condition is a key assumption that guarantees fast rates in machine learning. For example, the Gibbs algorithm with prior has an excess risk in , as oppos…

User-friendly introduction to PAC-Bayes bounds

Pierre Alquier

Aggregated predictors are obtained by making a set of basic predictors vote according to some weights, that is, to some probability distribution. Randomized predictors are obtained…

Outliers Detection in Networks with Missing Links

Solenne Gaucher, Olga Klopp, Geneviève Robin

Outliers arise in networks due to different reasons such as fraudulent behavior of malicious users or default in measurement instruments and can significantly impair network analys…

Clustering Time Series with Nonlinear Dynamics: A Bayesian Non-Parametric and Particle-Based Approach

Alexander Lin, Yingzhuo Zhang, Jeremy Heng +4

We propose a general statistical framework for clustering multiple time series that exhibit nonlinear dynamics into an a-priori-unknown number of sub-groups. Our motivation comes f…

Collective Matrix Completion

Mokhtar Z. Alaya, Olga Klopp

Matrix completion aims to reconstruct a data matrix based on observations of a small number of its entries. Usually in matrix completion a single matrix is considered, which can be…

Bayesian matrix completion: prior specification

Pierre Alquier, Vincent Cottet, Nicolas Chopin +1

Low-rank matrix estimation from incomplete measurements recently received increased attention due to the emergence of several challenging applications, such as recommender systems;…
