Large-scale Generative Modeling to Improve Automated Veterinary Disease Coding

Yuhui Zhang, Allen Nie, James Zou

Supervised learning is limited both by the quantity and quality of the labeled data. In the field of medical record tagging, writing styles between hospitals vary drastically. The…

Minimizing Close-k Aggregate Loss Improves Classification

Bryan He, James Zou

In classification, the de facto method for aggregating individual losses is the average loss. When the actual metric of interest is 0-1 loss, it is common to minimize the average s…

Contrastive Multivariate Singular Spectrum Analysis

Abdi-Hakin Dirie, Abubakar Abid, James Zou

We introduce Contrastive Multivariate Singular Spectrum Analysis, a novel unsupervised method for dimensionality reduction and signal decomposition of time series data. By utilizin…

Improving the Stability of the Knockoff Procedure: Multiple Simultaneous Knockoffs and Entropy Maximization

Jaime Roquero Gimenez, James Zou

The Model-X knockoff procedure has recently emerged as a powerful approach for feature selection with statistical guarantees. The advantage of knockoff is that if we have a good mo…

Knockoffs for the mass: new feature importance statistics with false discovery guarantees

Jaime Roquero Gimenez, Amirata Ghorbani, James Zou

An important problem in machine learning and statistics is to identify features that causally affect the outcome. This is often impossible to do from purely observational data, and…

Stochastic EM for Shuffled Linear Regression

Abubakar Abid, James Zou

We consider the problem of inference in a linear regression model in which the relative ordering of the input features and output labels is not known. Such datasets naturally arise…

CoVeR: Learning Covariate-Specific Vector Representations with Tensor Decompositions

Kevin Tian, Teng Zhang, James Zou

Word embedding is a useful approach to capture co-occurrence structures in large text corpora. However, in addition to the text data itself, we often have additional covariates ass…
