Deep Learning Through A Telescoping Lens: A Simple Model Provides Empirical Insights On Grokking, Gradient Boosting & Beyond
Alan Jeffares, Alicia Curth, Mihaela van der Schaar
Deep learning sometimes appears to work in unexpected ways. In pursuit of a deeper understanding of its surprising behaviors, we investigate the utility of a simple yet accurate mo…
Relaxed Quantile Regression: Prediction Intervals for Asymmetric Noise
Thomas Pouplin, Alan Jeffares, Nabeel Seedat +1
Constructing valid prediction intervals rather than point estimates is a well-established approach for uncertainty quantification in the regression setting. Models equipped with th…
Why do Random Forests Work? Understanding Tree Ensembles as Self-Regularizing Adaptive Smoothers
Alicia Curth, Alan Jeffares, Mihaela van der Schaar
Despite their remarkable effectiveness and broad application, the drivers of success underlying ensembles of trees are still not fully understood. In this paper, we highlight how i…
