The optimization of non-convex objective functions is a topic of central interest in machine learning. Remarkably, it has recently been shown that simple gradient-based optimization can achieve globally optimal solutions in important non-convex problems that arise in machine learning, including...

Online learning aims to perform nearly as well as the best hypothesis in hindsight. For some hypothesis classes, though, even finding the best hypothesis offline is challenging. In such offline cases, local search techniques are often employed and only local optimality guaranteed. For online...

It has gotten increasingly harder for laypersons to determine the veracity of online health information. This is because of the explosion of content in health social media, allowing anyone with an Internet connection to create and propagate health-related content. This includes both innocuous and...

We present two provably optimal differentially private algorithms for the stochastic multi-arm bandit problem, as opposed to the private analogue of the UCB-algorithm (Mishra and Thakurta 2015; Tossou and Dimitrakakis 2016) which doesn’t meet the recently discovered lower-bound of Ω( K log(T) /...

During the past 10 years, we have witnessed the proliferation of cloud computing services and their adoption in the industry. This rapid growth has been mainly due to economies of scale, improving resource utilization, infinite computing resources on demand, and pay per use cost model. However,...

The application of reinforcement learning (RL) to the optimal control of building systems has gained traction in recent years as it can reduce building energy consumption and improve human comfort, without requiring the knowledge of the building model. However, existing RL solutions for building...

Technical report TR06-03. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are genetic markers that may be used to identify the causes and risks of cancer. The sheer volume of data generated by SNP studies is difficult to analyze by hand. Machine learning techniques have been developed to address the types...

Technical report TR03-14. Identifying the destination or localization of proteins is key to understanding their function and facilitating their purification. A number of existing computational prediction methods are based on sequence analysis. However, these methods are limited in scope, accuracy...

For more than 70 years, chemists have used Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to characterize the atomic structure and dynamics of molecules. Key to performing the NMR analysis of almost any molecule is a process called “chemical shift assignment”. This involves matching specific peaks...
