面向人类反馈的情境在线不确定性感知偏好学习AI 解读

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) has become a pivotal paradigm in artificial intelligence to align large models with human preferences. In this paper, we propose a novel statistical framework to simultaneously conduct the online decision-making and statistical inference on the optimal model using human preference data based on dynamic contextual information. Our approach introduces an efficient decision strategy that achieves both the optimal regret bound…

电子健康记录依赖知识图谱的统计推断AI 解读

Abstract The effective analysis of high-dimensional Electronic Health Record (EHR) data, with substantial potential for healthcare research, presents notable methodological challenges. Employing predictive modeling guided by a knowledge graph (KG), which enables efficient feature selection, can enhance both statistical efficiency and interpretability. While various methods have emerged for constructing KGs, existing techniques often lack statistical certainty concerning the…

大规模联邦数据降维：统计误差率与渐近推断AI 解读

In light of the rapidly growing large-scale data in federated ecosystems, the traditional principal component analysis (PCA) is often not applicable due to privacy protection considerations and large computational burden. Algorithms were proposed to lower the computational cost, but few can handle both high dimensionality and massive sample size under distributed settings. In this paper, we propose the FAst DIstributed (FADI) PCA method for federated data when both the…

StarTrek：控制错误发现率的组合变量选择AI 解读

Variable selection on the large-scale networks has been extensively studied in the literature. While most of the existing methods are limited to the local functionals especially the graph edges, this paper focuses on selecting the discrete hub structures of the networks. Specifically, we propose an inferential method, called StarTrek filter, to select the hub nodes with degrees larger than a certain thresholding level in the high-dimensional graphical models and control the…

主体间依赖分析：部分高斯图模型方法AI 解读

Different from traditional intra-subject analysis, the goal of inter-subject analysis (ISA) is to explore the dependency structure between different subjects with the intra-subject dependency as nuisance. ISA has important applications in neuroscience to study the functional connectivity between brain regions under natural stimuli. We propose a modeling framework for ISA that is based on Gaussian graphical models, under which ISA can be converted to the problem of estimation…

图模型的组合推断AI 解读

We propose a new family of combinatorial inference problems for graphical models. Unlike classical statistical inference where the main interest is point estimation or parameter testing, combinatorial inference aims at testing the global structure of the underlying graph. Examples include testing the graph connectivity, the presence of a cycle of certain size, or the maximum degree of the graph. To begin with, we study the information-theoretic limits of a large family of…

稀疏高维模型下的分布式检验与估计AI 解读

This paper studies hypothesis testing and parameter estimation in the context of the divide-and-conquer algorithm. In a unified likelihood-based framework, we propose new test statistics and point estimators obtained by aggregating various statistics from $k$ subsamples of size $n/k$, where $n$ is the sample size. In both low dimensional and sparse high dimensional settings, we address the important question of how large $k$ can be, as $n$ grows large, such that the loss of…

具有理论保证的稀疏张量分解AI 解读

Summary We propose a novel sparse tensor decomposition method, namely the tensor truncated power method, that incorporates variable selection in the estimation of decomposition components. The sparsity is achieved via an efficient truncation step embedded in the tensor power iteration. Our method applies to a broad family of high dimensional latent variable models, including high dimensional Gaussian mixtures and mixtures of sparse regressions. A thorough theoretical…
