贝叶斯因子调整稀疏回归AI 解读

Many sparse regression methods rely on an assumption that the covariates are weakly correlated, which hardly holds in many economic and financial datasets. To relax this assumption, we model the strongly correlated covariates by a factor structure: strong correlations among covariates are modeled by common factors, while the remaining variations of covariates are modeled as idiosyncratic components. We then propose a factor-adjusted sparse regression model and develop a…

指数族中对比散度算法的收敛性AI 解读

The Contrastive Divergence (CD) algorithm has achieved notable success in training energy-based models including Restricted Boltzmann Machines and played a key role in the emergence of deep learning. The idea of this algorithm is to approximate the intractable term in the exact gradient of the log-likelihood function by using short Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) runs. The approximate gradient is computationally-cheap but biased. Whether and why the CD algorithm provides an…
