Vintage factor analysis is one important type of factor analysis that aims to first find a low-dimensional representation of the original data, and then to seek a rotation such that the rotated low-dimensional representation is scientifically meaningful. Perhaps the most widely used vintage factor analysis is the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) followed by the varimax rotation. Despite its popularity, little theoretical guarantee can be provided mainly because varimax rotation requires to solve a non-convex optimization over the set of orthogonal matrices. In this paper, we propose a deflation varimax procedure that solves each row of an orthogonal matrix sequentially. In addition to its net computational gain and flexibility, we are able to fully establish theoretical guarantees for the proposed procedure in a broad context. Adopting this new varimax approach as the second step after PCA, we further analyze this two step procedure under a general class of factor models. Our results show that it estimates the factor loading matrix in the optimal rate when the signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) is moderate or large. In the low SNR regime, we offer possible improvement over using PCA and the deflation procedure when the additive noise under the factor model is structured. The modified procedure is shown to be optimal in all SNR regimes. Our theory is valid for finite sample and allows the number of the latent factors to grow with the sample size as well as the ambient dimension to grow with, or even exceed, the sample size. Extensive simulation and real data analysis further corroborate our theoretical findings.

Engineers are often faced with the decision to select the most appropriate model for simulating the behavior of engineered systems, among a candidate set of models. Experimental monitoring data can generate significant value by supporting engineers toward such decisions. Such data can be leveraged within a Bayesian model updating process, enabling the uncertainty-aware calibration of any candidate model. The model selection task can subsequently be cast into a problem of decision-making under uncertainty, where one seeks to select the model that yields an optimal balance between the reward associated with model precision, in terms of recovering target Quantities of Interest (QoI), and the cost of each model, in terms of complexity and compute time. In this work, we examine the model selection task by means of Bayesian decision theory, under the prism of availability of models of various refinements, and thus varying levels of fidelity. In doing so, we offer an exemplary application of this framework on the IMAC-MVUQ Round-Robin Challenge. Numerical investigations show various outcomes of model selection depending on the target QoI.

We introduce time-ordered multibody interactions to describe complex systems manifesting temporal as well as multibody dependencies. First, we show how the dynamics of multivariate Markov chains can be decomposed in ensembles of time-ordered multibody interactions. Then, we present an algorithm to extract those interactions from data capturing the system-level dynamics of node states and a measure to characterize the complexity of interaction ensembles. Finally, we experimentally validate the robustness of our algorithm against statistical errors and its efficiency at inferring parsimonious interaction ensembles.

The categorical Gini correlation, $\rho_g$, was proposed by Dang et al. to measure the dependence between a categorical variable, $Y$ , and a numerical variable, $X$. It has been shown that $\rho_g$ has more appealing properties than current existing dependence measurements. In this paper, we develop the jackknife empirical likelihood (JEL) method for $\rho_g$. Confidence intervals for the Gini correlation are constructed without estimating the asymptotic variance. Adjusted and weighted JEL are explored to improve the performance of the standard JEL. Simulation studies show that our methods are competitive to existing methods in terms of coverage accuracy and shortness of confidence intervals. The proposed methods are illustrated in an application on two real datasets.

This work is concerned with cone-beam computed tomography with circular source trajectory, where the reconstruction inverse problem requires an accurate knowledge of source, detector and rotational axis relative positions and orientations. We address this problem as a preceding step of the reconstruction process directly from the acquired projections. The method estimates both the detector shift (orthogonal to focal and rotational axes) and the in-plane detector rotation, relative to source and rotational axis. The obtained algorithm is based on a fan-beam symmetry condition and the variable projection optimization approach with a low computational cost. Therefore, the alignment problem for fan-beam tomography is addressed as well. The methods are validated with simulated and real industrial tomographic data with code examples available for both fan- and cone-beam geometries.

I propose an alternative algorithm to compute the MMS voting rule. Instead of using linear programming, in this new algorithm the maximin support value of a committee is computed using a sequence of maximum flow problems.

We present an algorithm for computing melting points by autonomously learning from coexistence simulations in the NPT ensemble. Given the interatomic interaction model, the method makes decisions regarding the number of atoms and temperature at which to conduct simulations, and based on the collected data predicts the melting point along with the uncertainty, which can be systematically improved with more data. We demonstrate how incorporating physical models of the solid-liquid coexistence evolution enhances the algorithm's accuracy and enables optimal decision-making to effectively reduce predictive uncertainty. To validate our approach, we compare the results of 20 melting point calculations from the literature to the results of our calculations, all conducted with same interatomic potentials. Remarkably, we observe significant deviations in about one-third of the cases, underscoring the need for accurate and reliable algorithms for materials property calculations.

Spectral independence is a recently-developed framework for obtaining sharp bounds on the convergence time of the classical Glauber dynamics. This new framework has yielded optimal $O(n \log n)$ sampling algorithms on bounded-degree graphs for a large class of problems throughout the so-called uniqueness regime, including, for example, the problems of sampling independent sets, matchings, and Ising-model configurations. Our main contribution is to relax the bounded-degree assumption that has so far been important in establishing and applying spectral independence. Previous methods for avoiding degree bounds rely on using $L^p$-norms to analyse contraction on graphs with bounded connective constant (Sinclair, Srivastava, Yin; FOCS'13). The non-linearity of $L^p$-norms is an obstacle to applying these results to bound spectral independence. Our solution is to capture the $L^p$-analysis recursively by amortising over the subtrees of the recurrence used to analyse contraction. Our method generalises previous analyses that applied only to bounded-degree graphs. As a main application of our techniques, we consider the random graph $G(n,d/n)$, where the previously known algorithms run in time $n^{O(\log d)}$ or applied only to large $d$. We refine these algorithmic bounds significantly, and develop fast $n^{1+o(1)}$ algorithms based on Glauber dynamics that apply to all $d$, throughout the uniqueness regime.

We revisit the task of quantum state redistribution in the one-shot setting, and design a protocol for this task with communication cost in terms of a measure of distance from quantum Markov chains. More precisely, the distance is defined in terms of quantum max-relative entropy and quantum hypothesis testing entropy. Our result is the first to operationally connect quantum state redistribution and quantum Markov chains, and can be interpreted as an operational interpretation for a possible one-shot analogue of quantum conditional mutual information. The communication cost of our protocol is lower than all previously known ones and asymptotically achieves the well-known rate of quantum conditional mutual information. Thus, our work takes a step towards the important open question of near-optimal characterization of the one-shot quantum state redistribution.

Hashing has been widely used in approximate nearest search for large-scale database retrieval for its computation and storage efficiency. Deep hashing, which devises convolutional neural network architecture to exploit and extract the semantic information or feature of images, has received increasing attention recently. In this survey, several deep supervised hashing methods for image retrieval are evaluated and I conclude three main different directions for deep supervised hashing methods. Several comments are made at the end. Moreover, to break through the bottleneck of the existing hashing methods, I propose a Shadow Recurrent Hashing(SRH) method as a try. Specifically, I devise a CNN architecture to extract the semantic features of images and design a loss function to encourage similar images projected close. To this end, I propose a concept: shadow of the CNN output. During optimization process, the CNN output and its shadow are guiding each other so as to achieve the optimal solution as much as possible. Several experiments on dataset CIFAR-10 show the satisfying performance of SRH.
