Minimax Estimation of Conditional Moment Models

Nishanth Dikkala, Greg Lewis, Lester Mackey +1

We develop an approach for estimating models described via conditional moment restrictions, with a prototypical application being non-parametric instrumental variable regression. W…

Weighted Meta-Learning

Diana Cai, Rishit Sheth, Lester Mackey +1

Meta-learning leverages related source tasks to learn an initialization that can be quickly fine-tuned to a target task with limited labeled examples. However, many popular meta-le…

Approximate Cross-validation: Guarantees for Model Assessment and Selection

Ashia Wilson, Maximilian Kasy, Lester Mackey

Cross-validation (CV) is a popular approach for assessing and selecting predictive models. However, when the number of folds is large, CV suffers from a need to repeatedly refit a…

Importance Sampling via Local Sensitivity

Anant Raj, Cameron Musco, Lester Mackey

Given a loss function that can be written as the sum of losses over a large set of inputs , it is often desirable to approximate $…

Single Point Transductive Prediction

Nilesh Tripuraneni, Lester Mackey

Standard methods in supervised learning separate training and prediction: the model is fit independently of any test points it may encounter. However, can knowledge of the next tes…

Stochastic Runge-Kutta Accelerates Langevin Monte Carlo and Beyond

Xuechen Li, Denny Wu, Lester Mackey +1

Sampling with Markov chain Monte Carlo methods often amounts to discretizing some continuous-time dynamics with numerical integration. In this paper, we establish the convergence r…
