• Abstract: Learning the differential statistical dependency network between two contexts is essential for many real-life applications, mostly in the high dimensional low sample regime. In this paper, we propose a novel differential network estimator that allows integrating various sources of knowledge beyond data samples. The proposed estimator is scalable to a large number of variables and achieves a sharp asymptotic convergence rate. Empirical experiments on extensive simulated data and four real-world applications (one on neuroimaging and three from functional genomics) show that our approach achieves improved differential network estimation and provides better supports to downstream tasks like classification. Our results highlight significant benefits of integrating group, spatial and anatomic knowledge during differential genetic network identification and brain connectome change discovery.

  We propose a theoretically guaranteed statistical framework, called RENKI, to enable simultaneous learning of relation types. The proposed framework incorporates representation learning output into initial entity embedding of a neural network that approximates the score function for the knowledge graph. We demonstrate the effect of weighting in the presence of heterogeneous relations and the benefit of incorporating representation learning in nonparametric models.

  We propose a new family of representations, called MAGDiff, that we extract from any given neural network classifier.

We show that our novel representations induce significant improvements over a state-of-the-art baseline relying on the network output.
