• Abstract: Understanding the complex structure of multivariate extremes is a major challenge in various fields from portfolio monitoring and environmental risk management to insurance. In the framework of multivariate Extreme Value Theory, a common characterization of extremes' dependence structure is the angular measure. It is a suitable measure to work in extreme regions as it provides meaningful insights concerning the subregions where extremes tend to concentrate their mass. The present paper develops a novel optimization-based approach to assess the dependence structure of extremes. This support identification scheme rewrites as estimating clusters of features which best capture the support of extremes. The dimension reduction technique we provide is applied to statistical learning tasks such as feature clustering and anomaly detection. Numerical experiments provide strong empirical evidence of the relevance of our approach.

  Mixture of experts (MoE) has emerged as an effective framework to advance the efficiency and scalability of machine learning models. Central to the success of MoE is an adaptive softmax gating mechanism which takes responsibility for determining the relevance of each expert to a given input and then dynamically assigning experts their respective weights. We perform a convergence analysis of parameter estimation and expert estimation under the MoE equipped with the standard softmax gating or its variants, including a dense-to-sparse gating and a hierarchical softmax gating.

• Distributionally Robust Model-based Reinforcement Learning with Large State Spaces [55.14361269378122]
  Three major challenges in reinforcement learning are the complex dynamical systems with large state spaces, the costly data acquisition processes, and the deviation of real-world dynamics from the training environment deployment. We study distributionally robust Markov decision processes with continuous state spaces under the widely used Kullback-Leibler, chi-square, and total variation uncertainty sets. We propose a model-based approach that utilizes Gaussian Processes and the maximum variance reduction algorithm to efficiently learn multi-output nominal transition dynamics.
