We propose an empirical likelihood ratio test for nonparametric model selection, where the competing models may be nested, nonnested, overlapping, misspecified, or correctly specified. It compares the squared prediction errors of models based on the cross-validation and allows for heteroscedasticity of the errors of models. We develop its asymptotic distributions for comparing additive models and varying-coefficient models and extend it to test significance of variables in additive models with massive data. The method is applicable to model selection among supervised learning models. To facilitate implementation of the test, we provide a fast calculation procedure. Simulations show that the proposed tests work well and have favorable finite sample performance over some existing approaches. The methodology is validated on an empirical application.

Mirror descent (MD) is a powerful first-order optimization technique that subsumes several optimization algorithms including gradient descent (GD). In this work, we develop a semi-definite programming (SDP) framework to analyze the convergence rate of MD in centralized and distributed settings under both strongly convex and non-strongly convex assumptions. We view MD with a dynamical system lens and leverage quadratic constraints (QCs) to provide explicit convergence rates based on Lyapunov stability. For centralized MD under strongly convex assumption, we develop a SDP that certifies exponential convergence rates. We prove that the SDP always has a feasible solution that recovers the optimal GD rate as a special case. We complement our analysis by providing the $O(1/k)$ convergence rate for convex problems. Next, we analyze the convergence of distributed MD and characterize the rate using SDP. To the best of our knowledge, the numerical rate of distributed MD has not been previously reported in the literature. We further prove an $O(1/k)$ convergence rate for distributed MD in the convex setting. Our numerical experiments on strongly convex problems indicate that our framework certifies superior convergence rates compared to the existing rates for distributed GD.

Given an $n$-point metric space $(\mathcal{X},d)$ where each point belongs to one of $m=O(1)$ different categories or groups and a set of integers $k_1, \ldots, k_m$, the fair Max-Min diversification problem is to select $k_i$ points belonging to category $i\in [m]$, such that the minimum pairwise distance between selected points is maximized. The problem was introduced by Moumoulidou et al. [ICDT 2021] and is motivated by the need to down-sample large data sets in various applications so that the derived sample achieves a balance over diversity, i.e., the minimum distance between a pair of selected points, and fairness, i.e., ensuring enough points of each category are included. We prove the following results: 1. We first consider general metric spaces. We present a randomized polynomial time algorithm that returns a factor $2$-approximation to the diversity but only satisfies the fairness constraints in expectation. Building upon this result, we present a $6$-approximation that is guaranteed to satisfy the fairness constraints up to a factor $1-\epsilon$ for any constant $\epsilon$. We also present a linear time algorithm returning an $m+1$ approximation with exact fairness. The best previous result was a $3m-1$ approximation. 2. We then focus on Euclidean metrics. We first show that the problem can be solved exactly in one dimension. For constant dimensions, categories and any constant $\epsilon>0$, we present a $1+\epsilon$ approximation algorithm that runs in $O(nk) + 2^{O(k)}$ time where $k=k_1+\ldots+k_m$. We can improve the running time to $O(nk)+ poly(k)$ at the expense of only picking $(1-\epsilon) k_i$ points from category $i\in [m]$. Finally, we present algorithms suitable to processing massive data sets including single-pass data stream algorithms and composable coresets for the distributed processing.

Motivated by applications in single-cell biology and metagenomics, we consider matrix reordering based on the noisy disordered matrix model. We first establish the fundamental statistical limit for the matrix reordering problem in a decision-theoretic framework and show that a constrained least square estimator is rate-optimal. Given the computational hardness of the optimal procedure, we analyze a popular polynomial-time algorithm, spectral seriation, and show that it is suboptimal. We then propose a novel polynomial-time adaptive sorting algorithm with guaranteed improvement on the performance. The superiority of the adaptive sorting algorithm over the existing methods is demonstrated in simulation studies and in the analysis of two real single-cell RNA sequencing datasets.

Low rank matrix recovery problems, including matrix completion and matrix sensing, appear in a broad range of applications. In this work we present GNMR -- an extremely simple iterative algorithm for low rank matrix recovery, based on a Gauss-Newton linearization. On the theoretical front, we derive recovery guarantees for GNMR in both the matrix sensing and matrix completion settings. Some of these results improve upon the best currently known for other methods. A key property of GNMR is that it implicitly keeps the factor matrices approximately balanced throughout its iterations. On the empirical front, we show that for matrix completion with uniform sampling, GNMR performs better than several popular methods, especially when given very few observations close to the information limit.

Many of the causal discovery methods rely on the faithfulness assumption to guarantee asymptotic correctness. However, the assumption can be approximately violated in many ways, leading to sub-optimal solutions. Although there is a line of research in Bayesian network structure learning that focuses on weakening the assumption, such as exact search methods with well-defined score functions, they do not scale well to large graphs. In this work, we introduce several strategies to improve the scalability of exact score-based methods in the linear Gaussian setting. In particular, we develop a super-structure estimation method based on the support of inverse covariance matrix which requires assumptions that are strictly weaker than faithfulness, and apply it to restrict the search space of exact search. We also propose a local search strategy that performs exact search on the local clusters formed by each variable and its neighbors within two hops in the super-structure. Numerical experiments validate the efficacy of the proposed procedure, and demonstrate that it scales up to hundreds of nodes with a high accuracy.

Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) is a widely used tool for machine learning in distributed settings, where a machine learning model is trained over distributed data sources through an interactive process of local computation and message passing. Such an iterative process could cause privacy concerns of data owners. The goal of this paper is to provide differential privacy for ADMM-based distributed machine learning. Prior approaches on differentially private ADMM exhibit low utility under high privacy guarantee and often assume the objective functions of the learning problems to be smooth and strongly convex. To address these concerns, we propose a novel differentially private ADMM-based distributed learning algorithm called DP-ADMM, which combines an approximate augmented Lagrangian function with time-varying Gaussian noise addition in the iterative process to achieve higher utility for general objective functions under the same differential privacy guarantee. We also apply the moments accountant method to bound the end-to-end privacy loss. The theoretical analysis shows that DP-ADMM can be applied to a wider class of distributed learning problems, is provably convergent, and offers an explicit utility-privacy tradeoff. To our knowledge, this is the first paper to provide explicit convergence and utility properties for differentially private ADMM-based distributed learning algorithms. The evaluation results demonstrate that our approach can achieve good convergence and model accuracy under high end-to-end differential privacy guarantee.

We show that for the problem of testing if a matrix $A \in F^{n \times n}$ has rank at most $d$, or requires changing an $\epsilon$-fraction of entries to have rank at most $d$, there is a non-adaptive query algorithm making $\widetilde{O}(d^2/\epsilon)$ queries. Our algorithm works for any field $F$. This improves upon the previous $O(d^2/\epsilon^2)$ bound (SODA'03), and bypasses an $\Omega(d^2/\epsilon^2)$ lower bound of (KDD'14) which holds if the algorithm is required to read a submatrix. Our algorithm is the first such algorithm which does not read a submatrix, and instead reads a carefully selected non-adaptive pattern of entries in rows and columns of $A$. We complement our algorithm with a matching query complexity lower bound for non-adaptive testers over any field. We also give tight bounds of $\widetilde{\Theta}(d^2)$ queries in the sensing model for which query access comes in the form of $\langle X_i, A\rangle:=tr(X_i^\top A)$; perhaps surprisingly these bounds do not depend on $\epsilon$. We next develop a novel property testing framework for testing numerical properties of a real-valued matrix $A$ more generally, which includes the stable rank, Schatten-$p$ norms, and SVD entropy. Specifically, we propose a bounded entry model, where $A$ is required to have entries bounded by $1$ in absolute value. We give upper and lower bounds for a wide range of problems in this model, and discuss connections to the sensing model above.

We demonstrate that many detection methods are designed to identify only a sufficently accurate bounding box, rather than the best available one. To address this issue we propose a simple and fast modification to the existing methods called Fitness NMS. This method is tested with the DeNet model and obtains a significantly improved MAP at greater localization accuracies without a loss in evaluation rate, and can be used in conjunction with Soft NMS for additional improvements. Next we derive a novel bounding box regression loss based on a set of IoU upper bounds that better matches the goal of IoU maximization while still providing good convergence properties. Following these novelties we investigate RoI clustering schemes for improving evaluation rates for the DeNet wide model variants and provide an analysis of localization performance at various input image dimensions. We obtain a MAP of 33.6%@79Hz and 41.8%@5Hz for MSCOCO and a Titan X (Maxwell). Source code available from: //github.com/lachlants/denet

This paper describes a suite of algorithms for constructing low-rank approximations of an input matrix from a random linear image of the matrix, called a sketch. These methods can preserve structural properties of the input matrix, such as positive-semidefiniteness, and they can produce approximations with a user-specified rank. The algorithms are simple, accurate, numerically stable, and provably correct. Moreover, each method is accompanied by an informative error bound that allows users to select parameters a priori to achieve a given approximation quality. These claims are supported by numerical experiments with real and synthetic data.
