递归自适应分割估计的统计与计算权衡AI 解读

Models based on recursive adaptive partitioning such as decision trees and their ensembles are popular for high-dimensional regression as they can potentially avoid the curse of dimensionality. Because empirical risk minimization (ERM) is computationally infeasible, these models are typically trained using greedy algorithms. Although effective in many cases, these algorithms have been empirically observed to get stuck at local optima. We explore this phenomenon in the…

有限混合模型的拜占庭容错分布式学习AI 解读

Abstract Traditional statistical methods need to be updated to work with modern distributed data storage paradigms. The split-and-conquer framework that learns models on local machines and averaging their parameter estimates is common. However, this does not work for the important problem of learning finite mixture models, because subpopulation indices on each local machine may be arbitrarily permuted (the ‘label switching problem’). Earlier work proposed mixture reduction…
