How does academic performance affect self-efficacy? Interpretable modelling through latent academic achievement

Sarah Lee, Matias Quiroz, Sally Cripps

There is increasing evidence of a directional relationship from academic performance to self-efficacy. We develop a Bayesian model for investigating this relationship when academic…

Distilled Reverse Attention Network for Open-world Compositional Zero-Shot Learning

Yun Li, Zhe Liu, Saurav Jha +2

Open-World Compositional Zero-Shot Learning (OW-CZSL) aims to recognize new compositions of seen attributes and objects. In OW-CZSL, methods built on the conventional closed-world…

A Case Study in Model Failure? COVID-19 Daily Deaths and ICU Bed Utilisation Predictions in New York State

Vincent Chin, Noelle I. Samia, Roman Marchant +4

Forecasting models have been influential in shaping decision-making in the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is concern that their predictions may have been misleading. Here, we di…

AdaptSPEC-X: Covariate Dependent Spectral Modeling of Multiple Nonstationary Time Series

Michael Bertolacci, Ori Rosen, Edward Cripps +1

We present a method for the joint analysis of a panel of possibly nonstationary time series. The approach is Bayesian and uses a covariate-dependent infinite mixture model to incor…

Structured Variational Inference in Continuous Cox Process Models

Virginia Aglietti, Edwin V. Bonilla, Theodoros Damoulas +1

We propose a scalable framework for inference in an inhomogeneous Poisson process modeled by a continuous sigmoidal Cox process that assumes the corresponding intensity function is…

Bayesian Nonparametric Adaptive Spectral Density Estimation for Financial Time Series

Nick James, Roman Marchant, Richard Gerlach +1

Discrimination between non-stationarity and long-range dependency is a difficult and long-standing issue in modelling financial time series. This paper uses an adaptive spectral te…

Efficiency and robustness in Monte Carlo sampling of 3-D geophysical inversions with Obsidian v0.1.2: Setting up for success

Richard Scalzo, David Kohn, Hugo Olierook +4

The rigorous quantification of uncertainty in geophysical inversions is a challenging problem. Inversions are often ill-posed and the likelihood surface may be multi-modal; propert…

A comparison of methods for modeling marginal non-zero daily rainfall across the Australian continent

Michael Bertolacci, Edward Cripps, Ori Rosen +1

Naveau et al. (2016) have recently developed a class of methods, based on extreme-value theory (EVT), for capturing low, moderate, and heavy rainfall simultaneously, without the ne…

Irreproducibility; Nothing is More Predictable

David Kohn, Nick Glozier, Ian B. Hickie +2

The increasing ease of data capture and storage has led to a corresponding increase in the choice of data, the type of analysis performed on that data, and the complexity of the an…
