Some applications of deep learning require not only to provide accurate results but also to quantify the amount of confidence in their prediction. The management of an electric power grid is one of these cases: to avoid risky scenarios, decision-makers need both precise and reliable forecasts of, for example, power loads. For this reason, point forecasts are not enough hence it is necessary to adopt methods that provide an uncertainty quantification. This work focuses on reservoir computing as the core time series forecasting method, due to its computational efficiency and effectiveness in predicting time series. While the RC literature mostly focused on point forecasting, this work explores the compatibility of some popular uncertainty quantification methods with the reservoir setting. Both Bayesian and deterministic approaches to uncertainty assessment are evaluated and compared in terms of their prediction accuracy, computational resource efficiency and reliability of the estimated uncertainty, based on a set of carefully chosen performance metrics.

We propose a computationally and statistically efficient procedure for segmenting univariate data under piecewise linearity. The proposed moving sum (MOSUM) methodology detects multiple change points where the underlying signal undergoes discontinuous jumps and/or slope changes. Theoretically, it controls the family-wise error rate at a given significance level asymptotically and achieves consistency in multiple change point detection, as well as matching the minimax optimal rate of estimation when the signal is piecewise linear and continuous, all under weak assumptions permitting serial dependence and heavy-tailedness. Computationally, the complexity of the MOSUM procedure is $O(n)$ which, combined with its good performance on simulated datasets, making it highly attractive in comparison with the existing methods. We further demonstrate its good performance on a real data example on rolling element-bearing prognostics.

Many economic panel and dynamic models, such as rational behavior and Euler equations, imply that the parameters of interest are identified by conditional moment restrictions with high dimensional conditioning instruments. We develop a novel inference method for the parameters identified by conditional moment restrictions, where the dimension of the conditioning instruments is high and there is no prior information about which conditioning instruments are weak or irrelevant. Building on Bierens (1990), we propose penalized maximum statistics and combine bootstrap inference with model selection. Our method optimizes the asymptotic power against a set of $n^{-1/2}$-local alternatives of interest by solving a data-dependent max-min problem for tuning parameter selection. We demonstrate the efficacy of our method by two empirical examples: the elasticity of intertemporal substitution and rational unbiased reporting of ability status. Extensive Monte Carlo experiments based on the first empirical example show that our inference procedure is superior to those available in the literature in realistic settings.

We consider testing invariance of a distribution under an algebraic group of transformations, which includes permutations. In this context, it is commonly believed that one should strive to construct a test based on the entire group. We find that one can sometimes obtain dramatically more power by replacing the entire group with a tiny subgroup. Surprisingly, this allows us to obtain much more power at a much lower computational cost. We examine this finding in the popular group invariance-based Westfall & Young MaxT multiple testing method. Studying the relative efficiency in a Gaussian location model, we find the power gain to be largest in high-dimensional settings.

We provide the first convergence guarantees for the Consistency Models (CMs), a newly emerging type of one-step generative models that can generate comparable samples to those generated by Diffusion Models. Our main result is that, under the basic assumptions on score-matching errors, consistency errors and smoothness of the data distribution, CMs can efficiently sample from any realistic data distribution in one step with small $W_2$ error. Our results (1) hold for $L^2$-accurate score and consistency assumption (rather than $L^\infty$-accurate); (2) do note require strong assumptions on the data distribution such as log-Sobelev inequality; (3) scale polynomially in all parameters; and (4) match the state-of-the-art convergence guarantee for score-based generative models (SGMs). We also provide the result that the Multistep Consistency Sampling procedure can further reduce the error comparing to one step sampling, which support the original statement of "Consistency Models, Yang Song 2023". Our result further imply a TV error guarantee when take some Langevin-based modifications to the output distributions.

Humans effortlessly infer the 3D shape of objects. What computations underlie this ability? Although various computational models have been proposed, none of them capture the human ability to match object shape across viewpoints. Here, we ask whether and how this gap might be closed. We begin with a relatively novel class of computational models, 3D neural fields, which encapsulate the basic principles of classic analysis-by-synthesis in a deep neural network (DNN). First, we find that a 3D Light Field Network (3D-LFN) supports 3D matching judgments well aligned to humans for within-category comparisons, adversarially-defined comparisons that accentuate the 3D failure cases of standard DNN models, and adversarially-defined comparisons for algorithmically generated shapes with no category structure. We then investigate the source of the 3D-LFN's ability to achieve human-aligned performance through a series of computational experiments. Exposure to multiple viewpoints of objects during training and a multi-view learning objective are the primary factors behind model-human alignment; even conventional DNN architectures come much closer to human behavior when trained with multi-view objectives. Finally, we find that while the models trained with multi-view learning objectives are able to partially generalize to new object categories, they fall short of human alignment. This work provides a foundation for understanding human shape inferences within neurally mappable computational architectures and highlights important questions for future work.

We characterize absolutely continuous symmetric copulas with square integrable densities in this paper. This characterization is used to create new copula families, that are perturbations of the independence copula. The full study of mixing properties of Markov chains generated by these copula families is conducted. An extension that includes the Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern family of copulas is proposed. We propose some examples of copulas that generate non-mixing Markov chains, but whose convex combinations generate $\psi$-mixing Markov chains. Some general results on $\psi$-mixing are given. The Spearman's correlation $\rho_S$ and Kendall's $\tau$ are provided for the created copula families. Some general remarks are provided for $\rho_S$ and $\tau$. A central limit theorem is provided for parameter estimators in one example. A simulation study is conducted to support derived asymptotic distributions for some examples.

Human-in-the-loop aims to train an accurate prediction model with minimum cost by integrating human knowledge and experience. Humans can provide training data for machine learning applications and directly accomplish some tasks that are hard for computers in the pipeline with the help of machine-based approaches. In this paper, we survey existing works on human-in-the-loop from a data perspective and classify them into three categories with a progressive relationship: (1) the work of improving model performance from data processing, (2) the work of improving model performance through interventional model training, and (3) the design of the system independent human-in-the-loop. Using the above categorization, we summarize major approaches in the field, along with their technical strengths/ weaknesses, we have simple classification and discussion in natural language processing, computer vision, and others. Besides, we provide some open challenges and opportunities. This survey intends to provide a high-level summarization for human-in-the-loop and motivates interested readers to consider approaches for designing effective human-in-the-loop solutions.

We present self-supervised geometric perception (SGP), the first general framework to learn a feature descriptor for correspondence matching without any ground-truth geometric model labels (e.g., camera poses, rigid transformations). Our first contribution is to formulate geometric perception as an optimization problem that jointly optimizes the feature descriptor and the geometric models given a large corpus of visual measurements (e.g., images, point clouds). Under this optimization formulation, we show that two important streams of research in vision, namely robust model fitting and deep feature learning, correspond to optimizing one block of the unknown variables while fixing the other block. This analysis naturally leads to our second contribution -- the SGP algorithm that performs alternating minimization to solve the joint optimization. SGP iteratively executes two meta-algorithms: a teacher that performs robust model fitting given learned features to generate geometric pseudo-labels, and a student that performs deep feature learning under noisy supervision of the pseudo-labels. As a third contribution, we apply SGP to two perception problems on large-scale real datasets, namely relative camera pose estimation on MegaDepth and point cloud registration on 3DMatch. We demonstrate that SGP achieves state-of-the-art performance that is on-par or superior to the supervised oracles trained using ground-truth labels.

Although measuring held-out accuracy has been the primary approach to evaluate generalization, it often overestimates the performance of NLP models, while alternative approaches for evaluating models either focus on individual tasks or on specific behaviors. Inspired by principles of behavioral testing in software engineering, we introduce CheckList, a task-agnostic methodology for testing NLP models. CheckList includes a matrix of general linguistic capabilities and test types that facilitate comprehensive test ideation, as well as a software tool to generate a large and diverse number of test cases quickly. We illustrate the utility of CheckList with tests for three tasks, identifying critical failures in both commercial and state-of-art models. In a user study, a team responsible for a commercial sentiment analysis model found new and actionable bugs in an extensively tested model. In another user study, NLP practitioners with CheckList created twice as many tests, and found almost three times as many bugs as users without it.
