• Abstract: The wide adoption of smart meters makes residential load data available and thus improves the understanding of the energy consumption behavior. Many existing studies have focused on smart-meter data analysis, but the drivers of energy consumption behaviors are not well understood. This paper aims to characterize and estimate users' load patterns based on their demographic and socioeconomic information. We adopt the symbolic aggregate approximation (SAX) method to process the load data and use the K-Means method to extract key load patterns. We develop a deep neural network (DNN) to analyze the relationship between users' load patterns and their demographic and socioeconomic features. Using real-world load data, we validate our framework and demonstrate the connections between load patterns and household demographic and socioeconomic features. We also take two regression models as benchmarks for comparisons.

  We propose an alternative paradigm for answering causal-effect queries over discrete observable variables. We learn the causal Bayesian network and its confounding latent variables directly from the observational data. We show that this emphmodel completion learning approach can be more effective than estimand approaches.

• Scaling Laws Do Not Scale [54.72120385955072]
  Recent work has argued that as the size of a dataset increases, the performance of a model trained on that dataset will increase. We argue that this scaling law relationship depends on metrics used to measure performance that may not correspond with how different groups of people perceive the quality of models' output. Different communities may also have values in tension with each other, leading to difficult, potentially irreconcilable choices about metrics used for model evaluations.

OGFA not only achieves good recommendation performance, but also extracts interpretable latent factors corresponding to representative user preferences. We extend OGFA to ordinal graph gamma belief network, which is a multi-stochastic-layer deep probabilistic model.

In the second stage, the model parameters are estimated using an L2-norm, epsilon-insensitive regression approach.
