Minimax Generalized Cross-Entropy
Kartheek Bondugula, Santiago Mazuelas, Aritz Pérez +1
Loss functions play a central role in supervised classification. Cross-entropy (CE) is widely used, whereas the mean absolute error (MAE) loss can offer robustness but is difficult…
Q-Learning with Shift-Aware Upper Confidence Bound in Non-Stationary Reinforcement Learning
Ha Manh Bui, Felix Parker, Kimia Ghobadi +1
We study the Non-Stationary Reinforcement Learning (RL) under distribution shifts in both finite-horizon episodic and infinite-horizon discounted Markov Decision Processes (MDPs).…
ADMM-based Bilevel Descent Aggregation Algorithm for Sparse Hyperparameter Selection
Yunhai Xiao, Anqi Liu, Peili Li +1
It is widely acknowledged that hyperparameter selection plays a critical role in the effectiveness of sparse optimization problems. The bilevel optimization provides a robust frame…
Calibrated Uncertainty Sampling for Active Learning
Ha Manh Bui, Iliana Maifeld-Carucci, Anqi Liu
We study the problem of actively learning a classifier with a low calibration error. One of the most popular Acquisition Functions (AFs) in pool-based Active Learning (AL) is query…
Variance-Aware Linear UCB with Deep Representation for Neural Contextual Bandits
Ha Manh Bui, Enrique Mallada, Anqi Liu
By leveraging the representation power of deep neural networks, neural upper confidence bound (UCB) algorithms have shown success in contextual bandits. To further balance the expl…
