Improving the predictions of ML-corrected climate models with novelty detection

Clayton Sanford, Anna Kwa, Oliver Watt-Meyer +4

While previous works have shown that machine learning (ML) can improve the prediction accuracy of coarse-grid climate models, these ML-augmented methods are more vulnerable to irre…

Learning Single-Index Models with Shallow Neural Networks

Alberto Bietti, Joan Bruna, Clayton Sanford +1

Single-index models are a class of functions given by an unknown univariate ``link'' function applied to an unknown one-dimensional projection of the input. These models are partic…

On Scrambling Phenomena for Randomly Initialized Recurrent Networks

Vaggos Chatziafratis, Ioannis Panageas, Clayton Sanford +1

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) frequently exhibit complicated dynamics, and their sensitivity to the initialization process often renders them notoriously hard to train. Recent w…

Near-Optimal Statistical Query Lower Bounds for Agnostically Learning Intersections of Halfspaces with Gaussian Marginals

Daniel Hsu, Clayton Sanford, Rocco Servedio +1

We consider the well-studied problem of learning intersections of halfspaces under the Gaussian distribution in the challenging \emph{agnostic learning} model. Recent work of Diako…

Expressivity of Neural Networks via Chaotic Itineraries beyond Sharkovsky's Theorem

Clayton Sanford, Vaggos Chatziafratis

Given a target function , how large must a neural network be in order to approximate ? Recent works examine this basic question on neural network \textit{expressivity} from t…

Support vector machines and linear regression coincide with very high-dimensional features

Navid Ardeshir, Clayton Sanford, Daniel Hsu

The support vector machine (SVM) and minimum Euclidean norm least squares regression are two fundamentally different approaches to fitting linear models, but they have recently bee…
