Adaptive Estimation in Multivariate Response Regression with Hidden Variables
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
The model identifiability, parameter estimation and statistical guarantees are further extended to the setting with heteroscedastic errors. ...
In the last step, we remove the effect of hidden variable by projecting Y onto the complement of the estimated row space of B^*. Non-asymptotic error bounds of our final estimator are established. ...
To conclude this section, we compare the estimation errors of P B * and the PCA-based estimator P B * in Section 2.2.2 in the presence of heteroscedasticity. ...

Hybrid Orthogonal Projection and Estimation (HOPE): A New Framework to Probe and Learn Neural Networks
[article]
2015
arXiv
pre-print
In this paper, we propose a novel model for high-dimensional data, called the Hybrid Orthogonal Projection and Estimation (HOPE) model, which combines a linear orthogonal projection and a finite mixture ...
The HOPE model itself can be learned unsupervised from unlabelled data based on the maximum likelihood estimation as well as discriminatively from labelled data. ...
In semi-unsupervised learning, the HOPE model is learned based on the maximum likelihood estimation and the upper deep NN is learned supervised. ...
