Robust Linear Regression for General Feature Distribution
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
Preserved Fulltext
We investigate robust linear regression where data may be contaminated by an oblivious adversary, i.e., an adversary than may know the data distribution but is otherwise oblivious to the realizations of the data samples. This model has been previously analyzed under strong assumptions. Concretely, (i) all previous works assume that the covariance matrix of the features is positive definite; and (ii) most of them assume that the features are centered (i.e. zero mean). Additionally, all previous

... orks make additional restrictive assumption, e.g., assuming that the features are Gaussian or that the corruptions are symmetrically distributed. In this work we go beyond these assumptions and investigate robust regression under a more general set of assumptions: (i) we allow the covariance matrix to be either positive definite or positive semi definite, (ii) we do not necessarily assume that the features are centered, (iii) we make no further assumption beyond boundedness (sub-Gaussianity) of features and measurement noise. Under these assumption we analyze a natural SGD variant for this problem and show that it enjoys a fast convergence rate when the covariance matrix is positive definite. In the positive semi definite case we show that there are two regimes: if the features are centered we can obtain a standard convergence rate; otherwise the adversary can cause any learner to fail arbitrarily.

Motivated by the findings of modular structure in the association cortex, we study a multi-modular model of associative memory that can successfully store memory patterns with different levels of activity. We show that the segregation of synaptic conductances into intra-modular linear and inter-modular nonlinear ones considerably enhances the network's memory retrieval performance. Compared with the conventional, single-module associative memory network, the multi-modular network has two main

In this paper, we design mother wavelets for the 1D continuous wavelet transform with some optimality properties. An optimal mother wavelet here is one that has an ambiguity function with minimal spread in the continuous coefficient space (also called phase space). Since the ambiguity function is the reproducing kernel of the coefficient space, optimal windows lead to phase space representations which are "optimally sharp." Namely, the wavelet coefficients have minimal correlations with each

... er. Such a construction also promotes sparsity in phase space. The spread of the ambiguity function is modeled as the sum of variances along the axes in phase space. In order to optimize the mother wavelet directly as a 1D signal, we pull-back the variances, defined on the 2D phase space, to the so called window-signal space. This is done using the recently developed wavelet-Plancharel theory. The approach allows formulating the optimization problem of the 2D ambiguity function as a minimization problem of the 1D mother wavelet. The resulting 1D formulation is more efficient and does not involve complicated constraints on the 2D ambiguity function. We optimize the mother wavelet using gradient descent, which yields a locally optimal mother wavelet.

Recent imaging studies suggest that object knowledge is stored in the brain as a distributed network of many cortical areas. Motivated by these observations, we study a multi-modular associative memory network, whose functional goal is to store patterns with di erent coding levels, i.e., patterns that vary in the number of modules in which they are encoded. We show that in order to accomplish this task, synaptic inputs should be segregated into intra-modular projections and inter-modular

... ions, with the latter undergoing additional nonlinear dendritic processing. This segregation makes sense anatomically if the inter-modular projections represent distal synaptic connections on apical dendrites. It is then straightforward to show that memories encoded in more modules are more resilient to focal a erent damage. Further hierarchical segregation of inter-modular connections on the dendritic tree improves this resilience, allowing memory retrieval from input to just one of the modules in which it is encoded. 0

The search-and-matching model of the labor market fails to match two important business cycle facts: (i) a high volatility of unemployment relative to labor productivity, and (ii) a mild correlation between these two variables. We address these shortcomings by focusing on technological learning-by-doing: the notion that it takes workers' time using a technology before reaching their full productive potential with it. We consider a novel source of business cycles, namely, fluctuations in the

In this paper we introduce a new localization framework for wavelet transforms, such as the 1D wavelet transform and the Shearlet transform. Our goal is to design nonadaptive window functions that promote sparsity in some sense. For that, we introduce a framework for analyzing localization aspects of window functions. Our localization theory diverges from the conventional theory in two ways. First, we distinguish between the group generators, and the operators that measure localization (called

... bservables). Second, we define the uncertainty of a signal transform based on a window as a whole, instead of defining the uncertainty of an individual window. We show that the uncertainty of a window function, in the signal space, is closely related to the localization of the reproducing kernel of the wavelet transform, in phase space. As a result, we show that using uncertainty minimizing window functions, results in representations which are optimally sparse in some sense.

In the framework of an associative memory model, we study the interplay between synaptic deletion and compensation, and memory deterioration, a clinical hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Our study is motivated by experimental evidence that there are regulatory mechanisms that take part in the homeostasis of neuronal activity and act on the neuronal level. We show that following synaptic deletion, synaptic compensation can be carried out efficiently by a local, dynamic mechanism, where each

Our results open up the possibility that the primary factor in the pathogenesis of cognitive deficiencies in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the failure of local neuronal regulatory mechanisms. Allowing for neuronal death, we observe two pathological routes in AD, leading to different correlations between the levels of structural damage and functional decline.

Type I chaperonins play an essential role in the folding of newly translated and stress-denatured proteins in eubacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. Since their discovery, the bacterial chaperonins have provided an excellent model system for investigating the mechanism by which chaperonins mediate protein folding. Due to the high conservation of the primary sequence among Type I chaperonins, it is generally accepted that organellar chaperonins function similar to the bacterial ones.
