反事实与个体处理效应的共形推断AI 解读

Abstract Evaluating treatment effect heterogeneity widely informs treatment decision making. At the moment, much emphasis is placed on the estimation of the conditional average treatment effect via flexible machine learning algorithms. While these methods enjoy some theoretical appeal in terms of consistency and convergence rates, they generally perform poorly in terms of uncertainty quantification. This is troubling since assessing risk is crucial for reliable…

网络异常簇的检测AI 解读

We consider the problem of detecting whether or not, in a given sensor network, there is a cluster of sensors which exhibit an “unusual behavior.” Formally, suppose we are given a set of nodes and attach a random variable to each node. We observe a realization of this process and want to decide between the following two hypotheses: under the null, the variables are i.i.d. standard normal; under the alternative, there is a cluster of variables that are i.i.d. normal with…

在迷宫中搜寻证据路径AI 解读

Consider a graph with a set of vertices and oriented edges connecting pairs of vertices. Each vertex is associated with a random variable and these are assumed to be independent. In this setting, suppose we wish to solve the following hypothesis testing problem: under the null, the random variables have common distribution N(0, 1) while under the alternative, there is an unknown path along which random variables have distribution N(μ, 1), μ> 0, and distribution N(0, 1) away…
