• Abstract: Neural networks have excelled at regression and classification problems when the input space consists of scalar variables. As a result of this proficiency, several popular packages have been developed that allow users to easily fit these kinds of models. However, the methodology has excluded the use of functional covariates and to date, there exists no software that allows users to build deep learning models with this generalized input space. To the best of our knowledge, the functional neural network (FuncNN) library is the first such package in any programming language; the library has been developed for R and is built on top of the keras architecture. Throughout this paper, several functions are introduced that provide users an avenue to easily build models, generate predictions, and run cross-validations. A summary of the underlying methodology is also presented. The ultimate contribution is a package that provides a set of general modelling and diagnostic tools for data problems in which there exist both functional and scalar covariates.

  We propose a model-agnostic approach to identify critical input features for models in code intelligence systems. Our approach, SIVAND, uses simplification techniques that reduce the size of input programs of a CI model. We believe that SIVAND's extracted features may help understand neural CI systems' predictions and learned behavior.

  Rank-R Feedforward Neural Network (FNN) is a tensor-based nonlinear learning model that imposes Canonical/Polyadic decomposition on its parameters. First, it handles inputs as multilinear arrays, bypassing the need for vectorization, and can thus fully exploit the structural information along every data dimension. We establish the universal approximation and learnability properties of Rank-R FNN, and we validate its performance on real-world hyperspectral datasets.

• Particle-Gibbs Sampling For Bayesian Feature Allocation Models [77.57285768500225]
  Most widely used MCMC strategies rely on an element wise Gibbs update of the feature allocation matrix. We have developed a Gibbs sampler that can update an entire row of the feature allocation matrix in a single move. This sampler is impractical for models with a large number of features as the computational complexity scales exponentially in the number of features. We develop a Particle Gibbs sampler that targets the same distribution as the row wise Gibbs updates, but has computational complexity that only grows linearly in the number of features.
