Efficient Load Sampling for Worst-Case Structural Analysis Under Force Location Uncertainty
Yining Wang, Erva Ulu, Aarti Singh +1
An important task in structural design is to quantify the structural performance of an object under the external forces it may experience during its use. The problem proves to be c…
How Many Samples are Needed to Estimate a Convolutional or Recurrent Neural Network?
Simon S. Du, Yining Wang, Xiyu Zhai +3
It is widely believed that the practical success of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) owes to the fact that CNNs and RNNs use a more compact…
Optimization of Smooth Functions with Noisy Observations: Local Minimax Rates
Yining Wang, Sivaraman Balakrishnan, Aarti Singh
We consider the problem of global optimization of an unknown non-convex smooth function with zeroth-order feedback. In this setup, an algorithm is allowed to adaptively query the u…
