The scenario approach: A tool at the service of data-driven decision making

MC Campi, A Carè, S Garatti - Annual Reviews in Control, 2021 - Elsevier
In the eyes of many control scientists, the theory of the scenario approach is a tool for
determining the sample size in certain randomized control-design methods, where an …

Learning with little mixing

I Ziemann, S Tu - Advances in Neural Information …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We study square loss in a realizable time-series framework with martingale difference noise.
Our main result is a fast rate excess risk bound which shows that whenever a trajectory …

Least squares regression with markovian data: Fundamental limits and algorithms

D Nagaraj, X Wu, G Bresler, P Jain… - Advances in neural …, 2020 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We study the problem of least squares linear regression where the datapoints are
dependent and are sampled from a Markov chain. We establish sharp information theoretic …

Learning from many trajectories

S Tu, R Frostig, M Soltanolkotabi - Journal of Machine Learning Research, 2024 - jmlr.org
We initiate a study of supervised learning from many independent sequences (" trajectories")
of non-independent covariates, reflecting tasks in sequence modeling, control, and …

On empirical risk minimization with dependent and heavy-tailed data

A Roy, K Balasubramanian… - Advances in Neural …, 2021 - proceedings.neurips.cc
In this work, we establish risk bounds for Empirical Risk Minimization (ERM) with both
dependent and heavy-tailed data-generating processes. We do so by extending the seminal …

Adaptive data analysis with correlated observations

A Kontorovich, M Sadigurschi… - … on Machine Learning, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
The vast majority of the work on adaptive data analysis focuses on the case where the
samples in the dataset are independent. Several approaches and tools have been …

A Roy, K Balasubramanian… - Advances in neural …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We study stochastic optimization algorithms for constrained nonconvex stochastic
optimization problems with Markovian data. In particular, we focus on the case when the …

Diversity-enhancing generative network for few-shot hypothesis adaptation

R Dong, F Liu, H Chi, T Liu, M Gong… - International …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
Generating unlabeled data has been recently shown to help address the few-shot
hypothesis adaptation (FHA) problem, where we aim to train a classifier for the target …
