Optimal estimation of high-order missing masses, and the rare-type match problem

Stefano Favaro, Zacharie Naulet

Consider a random sample from an unknown discrete distribution on a countable alphabet , and let $(Y_{n,j})_{j\ge…

Infinitely wide limits for deep Stable neural networks: sub-linear, linear and super-linear activation functions

Alberto Bordino, Stefano Favaro, Sandra Fortini

There is a growing literature on the study of large-width properties of deep Gaussian neural networks (NNs), i.e. deep NNs with Gaussian-distributed parameters or weights, and Gaus…

Non-asymptotic approximations of Gaussian neural networks via second-order Poincaré inequalities

Alberto Bordino, Stefano Favaro, Sandra Fortini

There is a recent and growing literature on large-width asymptotic and non-asymptotic properties of deep Gaussian neural networks (NNs), namely NNs with weights initialized as Gaus…

Transform-scaled process priors for trait allocations in Bayesian nonparametrics

Mario Beraha, Stefano Favaro

Completely random measures (CRMs) provide a broad class of priors, arguably, the most popular, for Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) analysis of trait allocations. As a peculiar propert…

Random measure priors in Bayesian recovery from sketches

Mario Beraha, Stefano Favaro, Matteo Sesia

This paper introduces a Bayesian nonparametric approach to frequency recovery from lossy-compressed discrete data, leveraging all information contained in a sketch obtained through…

Conformal Frequency Estimation using Discrete Sketched Data with Coverage for Distinct Queries

Matteo Sesia, Stefano Favaro, Edgar Dobriban

This paper develops conformal inference methods to construct a confidence interval for the frequency of a queried object in a very large discrete data set, based on a sketch with a…
