Newtonian Monte Carlo: single-site MCMC meets second-order gradient methods
Nimar S. Arora, Nazanin Khosravani Tehrani, Kinjal Divesh Shah +7
Single-site Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a variant of MCMC in which a single coordinate in the state space is modified in each step. Structured relational models are a good c…
A Flexible Joint Longitudinal-Survival Modeling Framework for Incorporating Multiple Longitudinal Biomarkers
Sepehr Akhavan-Masouleh, Alexander Vandenberg-Rodes, Babak Shahbaba +1
We are interested in survival analysis of hemodialysis patients for whom several biomarkers are recorded over time. Motivated by this challenging problem, we propose a general fram…
On the Information Theoretic Distance Measures and Bidirectional Helmholtz Machines
Mahdi Azarafrooz, Xuan Zhao, Sepehr Akhavan-Masouleh
By establishing a connection between bi-directional Helmholtz machines and information theory, we propose a generalized Helmholtz machine. Theoretical and experimental results show…
Improving Malware Detection Accuracy by Extracting Icon Information
Pedro Silva, Sepehr Akhavan-Masouleh, Li Li
Detecting PE malware files is now commonly approached using statistical and machine learning models. While these models commonly use features extracted from the structure of PE fil…
