We study the sample complexity of reinforcement learning (RL) in Mean-Field Games (MFGs) with model-based function approximation that requires strategic exploration to find a Nash Equilibrium policy. We introduce the Partial Model-Based Eluder Dimension (P-MBED), a more effective notion to characterize the model class complexity. Notably, P-MBED measures the complexity of the single-agent model class converted from the given mean-field model class, and potentially, can be exponentially lower than the MBED proposed by \citet{huang2023statistical}. We contribute a model elimination algorithm featuring a novel exploration strategy and establish sample complexity results polynomial w.r.t.~P-MBED. Crucially, our results reveal that, under the basic realizability and Lipschitz continuity assumptions, \emph{learning Nash Equilibrium in MFGs is no more statistically challenging than solving a logarithmic number of single-agent RL problems}. We further extend our results to Multi-Type MFGs, generalizing from conventional MFGs and involving multiple types of agents. This extension implies statistical tractability of a broader class of Markov Games through the efficacy of mean-field approximation. Finally, inspired by our theoretical algorithm, we present a heuristic approach with improved computational efficiency and empirically demonstrate its effectiveness.

The graph invariant EPT-sum has cropped up in several unrelated fields in later years: As an objective function for hierarchical clustering, as a more fine-grained version of the classical edge ranking problem, and, specifically when the input is a vertex-weighted tree, as a measure of average/expected search length in a partially ordered set. The EPT-sum of a graph $G$ is defined as the minimum sum of the depth of every leaf in an edge partition tree (EPT), a rooted tree where leaves correspond to vertices in $G$ and internal nodes correspond to edges in $G$. A simple algorithm that approximates EPT-sum on trees is given by recursively choosing the most balanced edge in the input tree $G$ to build an EPT of $G$. Due to its fast runtime, this balanced cut algorithm is used in practice. In this paper, we show that the balanced cut algorithm gives a 1.5-approximation of EPT-sum on trees, which amounts to a tight analysis and answers a question posed by Cicalese et al. in 2014.

Many state-of-the-art causal discovery methods aim to generate an output graph that encodes the graphical separation and connection statements of the causal graph that underlies the data-generating process. In this work, we argue that an evaluation of a causal discovery method against synthetic data should include an analysis of how well this explicit goal is achieved by measuring how closely the separations/connections of the method's output align with those of the ground truth. We show that established evaluation measures do not accurately capture the difference in separations/connections of two causal graphs, and we introduce three new measures of distance called s/c-distance, Markov distance and Faithfulness distance that address this shortcoming. We complement our theoretical analysis with toy examples, empirical experiments and pseudocode.

We explore two primary classes of approaches to dimensionality reduction (DR): Independent Dimensionality Reduction (IDR) and Simultaneous Dimensionality Reduction (SDR). In IDR methods, of which Principal Components Analysis is a paradigmatic example, each modality is compressed independently, striving to retain as much variation within each modality as possible. In contrast, in SDR, one simultaneously compresses the modalities to maximize the covariation between the reduced descriptions while paying less attention to how much individual variation is preserved. Paradigmatic examples include Partial Least Squares and Canonical Correlations Analysis. Even though these DR methods are a staple of statistics, their relative accuracy and data set size requirements are poorly understood. We introduce a generative linear model to synthesize multimodal data with known variance and covariance structures to examine these questions. We assess the accuracy of the reconstruction of the covariance structures as a function of the number of samples, signal-to-noise ratio, and the number of varying and covarying signals in the data. Using numerical experiments, we demonstrate that linear SDR methods consistently outperform linear IDR methods and yield higher-quality, more succinct reduced-dimensional representations with smaller datasets. Remarkably, regularized CCA can identify low-dimensional weak covarying structures even when the number of samples is much smaller than the dimensionality of the data, which is a regime challenging for all dimensionality reduction methods. Our work corroborates and explains previous observations in the literature that SDR can be more effective in detecting covariation patterns in data. These findings suggest that SDR should be preferred to IDR in real-world data analysis when detecting covariation is more important than preserving variation.

We consider the problem of determining the asymptotics of the manifold $n$-widths of Sobolev and Besov spaces with error measured in the $L_p$-norm. The manifold widths control how efficiently these spaces can be approximated by general non-linear parametric methods with the restriction that the parameter selection and parameterization maps must be continuous. Existing upper and lower bounds only match when the Sobolev or Besov smoothness index $q$ satisfies $q\leq p$. We close this gap and extend the existing lower bounds to all $1\leq p,q\leq \infty$. In the process, we show that the Bernstein widths, which are typically used to lower bound the manifold widths, may decay asymptotically slower than the manifold widths.

Most mathematical distortions used in ML are fundamentally integral in nature: $f$-divergences, Bregman divergences, (regularized) optimal transport distances, integral probability metrics, geodesic distances, etc. In this paper, we unveil a grounded theory and tools which can help improve these distortions to better cope with ML requirements. We start with a generalization of Riemann integration that also encapsulates functions that are not strictly additive but are, more generally, $t$-additive, as in nonextensive statistical mechanics. Notably, this recovers Volterra's product integral as a special case. We then generalize the Fundamental Theorem of calculus using an extension of the (Euclidean) derivative. This, along with a series of more specific Theorems, serves as a basis for results showing how one can specifically design, alter, or change fundamental properties of distortion measures in a simple way, with a special emphasis on geometric- and ML-related properties that are the metricity, hyperbolicity, and encoding. We show how to apply it to a problem that has recently gained traction in ML: hyperbolic embeddings with a "cheap" and accurate encoding along the hyperbolic vs Euclidean scale. We unveil a new application for which the Poincar\'e disk model has very appealing features, and our theory comes in handy: \textit{model} embeddings for boosted combinations of decision trees, trained using the log-loss (trees) and logistic loss (combinations).

Large Language Models (LLMs) hold the potential to perform a variety of text processing tasks and provide textual explanations for proposed actions or decisions. In the era of hybrid work, LLMs can provide intelligent decision support for workers who are designing their hybrid work plans. In particular, they can offer suggestions and explanations to workers balancing numerous decision factors, thereby enhancing their work experience. In this paper, we present a decision support model for workspaces in hybrid work environments, leveraging the reasoning skill of LLMs. We first examine LLM's capability of making suitable workspace suggestions. We find that its reasoning extends beyond the guidelines in the prompt and the LLM can manage the trade-off among the available resources in the workspaces. We conduct an extensive user study to understand workers' decision process for workspace choices and evaluate the effectiveness of the system. We observe that a worker's decision could be influenced by the LLM's suggestions and explanations. The participants in our study find the system to be convenient, regardless of whether reasons are provided or not. Our results show that employees can benefit from the LLM-empowered system for their workspace selection in hybrid workplace.

Applications in the Internet of Things (IoT) utilize machine learning to analyze sensor-generated data. However, a major challenge lies in the lack of targeted intelligence in current sensing systems, leading to vast data generation and increased computational and communication costs. To address this challenge, we propose a novel sensing module to equip sensing frameworks with intelligent data transmission capabilities by integrating a highly efficient machine learning model placed near the sensor. This model provides prompt feedback for the sensing system to transmit only valuable data while discarding irrelevant information by regulating the frequency of data transmission. The near-sensor model is quantized and optimized for real-time sensor control. To enhance the framework's performance, the training process is customized and a "lazy" sensor deactivation strategy utilizing temporal information is introduced. The suggested method is orthogonal to other IoT frameworks and can be considered as a plugin for selective data transmission. The framework is implemented, encompassing both software and hardware components. The experiments demonstrate that the framework utilizing the suggested module achieves over 85% system efficiency in terms of energy consumption and storage, with negligible impact on performance. This methodology has the potential to significantly reduce data output from sensors, benefiting a wide range of IoT applications.

Named entity recognition (NER) is the task to identify text spans that mention named entities, and to classify them into predefined categories such as person, location, organization etc. NER serves as the basis for a variety of natural language applications such as question answering, text summarization, and machine translation. Although early NER systems are successful in producing decent recognition accuracy, they often require much human effort in carefully designing rules or features. In recent years, deep learning, empowered by continuous real-valued vector representations and semantic composition through nonlinear processing, has been employed in NER systems, yielding stat-of-the-art performance. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review on existing deep learning techniques for NER. We first introduce NER resources, including tagged NER corpora and off-the-shelf NER tools. Then, we systematically categorize existing works based on a taxonomy along three axes: distributed representations for input, context encoder, and tag decoder. Next, we survey the most representative methods for recent applied techniques of deep learning in new NER problem settings and applications. Finally, we present readers with the challenges faced by NER systems and outline future directions in this area.

We introduce a generic framework that reduces the computational cost of object detection while retaining accuracy for scenarios where objects with varied sizes appear in high resolution images. Detection progresses in a coarse-to-fine manner, first on a down-sampled version of the image and then on a sequence of higher resolution regions identified as likely to improve the detection accuracy. Built upon reinforcement learning, our approach consists of a model (R-net) that uses coarse detection results to predict the potential accuracy gain for analyzing a region at a higher resolution and another model (Q-net) that sequentially selects regions to zoom in. Experiments on the Caltech Pedestrians dataset show that our approach reduces the number of processed pixels by over 50% without a drop in detection accuracy. The merits of our approach become more significant on a high resolution test set collected from YFCC100M dataset, where our approach maintains high detection performance while reducing the number of processed pixels by about 70% and the detection time by over 50%.
