• Abstract: This paper studies a linear and additively separable model for multidimensional panel data of three or more dimensions with unobserved interactive fixed effects. Two approaches are considered to account for these unobserved interactive fixed-effects when estimating coefficients on the observed covariates. First, the model is embedded within the standard two dimensional panel framework and restrictions are formed under which the factor structure methods in Bai (2009) lead to consistent estimation of model parameters, but at slow rates of convergence. The second approach develops a kernel weighted fixed-effects method that is more robust to the multidimensional nature of the problem and can achieve the parametric rate of consistency under certain conditions. Theoretical results and simulations show some benefits to standard two-dimensional panel methods when the structure of the interactive fixed-effect term is known, but also highlight how the kernel weighted method performs well without knowledge of this structure. The methods are implemented to estimate the demand elasticity for beer.

  This paper addresses nonparametric estimation of nonlinear Hawkes processes, where the interaction functions are assumed to lie in a reproducing kernel space (RKHS) Motivated by applications in neuroscience, the model allows complex interaction functions, in order to express exciting and inhibiting effects, but also a combination of both. It shows that our method achieves a better performance compared to related nonparametric estimation techniques and suits neuronal applications.

  In this work, we investigate the relationship between a model's effective dimensionality and its robustness properties. We run experiments on commercial-scale models that are often used in real-world environments such as YOLO and ResNet. We reveal a near-linear inverse relationship between effective dimensionality and adversarial robustness, that is models with a lower dimensionality exhibit better robustness.

  Contextual decision processes (CMDPs) describe a class of reinforcement learning problems in which the transition kernels and reward functions can change over time with different MDPs indexed by a context variable. CMDPs serve as an important framework to model many real-world applications with time-varying environments. We study CMDPs under two linear function approximation models: Model I with context-varying representations and common linear weights for all contexts; and Model II with common representations for all contexts and context-varying linear weights.

Experiment results on synthetic and real datasets show that our three proposed components significantly improve the robustness and reusability of the learned motion representations.

  Simulation-based inference enables learning the parameters of a model even when its likelihood cannot be computed in practice.

We show that this approach can be formulated in terms of mutual information between model parameters and simulated data.
