• Abstract: We develop a novel measurement framework based on a Gaussian process coregionalization model to address a long-lasting debate in psychometrics: whether psychological features like personality share a common structure across the population, vary uniquely for individuals, or some combination. We propose the idiographic personality Gaussian process (IPGP) framework, an intermediate model that accommodates both shared trait structure across a population and "idiographic" deviations for individuals. IPGP leverages the Gaussian process coregionalization model to handle the grouped nature of battery responses, but adjusted to non-Gaussian ordinal data. We further exploit stochastic variational inference for efficient latent factor estimation required for idiographic modeling at scale. Using synthetic and real data, we show that IPGP improves both prediction of actual responses and estimation of individualized factor structures relative to existing benchmarks. In a third study, we show that IPGP also identifies unique clusters of personality taxonomies in real-world data, displaying great potential in advancing individualized approaches to psychological diagnosis and treatment.

  Generative models trained with Differential Privacy (DP) are becoming increasingly prominent in the creation of synthetic data for downstream applications. Existing literature, however, primarily focuses on basic benchmarking datasets and tends to report promising results only for elementary metrics and relatively simple data distributions. We initiate a systematic analysis of how DP generative models perform in their natural application scenarios, specifically focusing on real-world gene expression data.

  Population synthesis involves generating synthetic yet realistic representations of a target population of micro-agents. Traditional methods, often reliant on target population samples, face limitations due to high costs and small sample sizes. We propose a novel framework based on copulas to generate synthetic data for target populations where only empirical marginal distributions are known.

  We propose and validate an unsupervised probabilistic model, Gaussian Latent Dirichlet Allocation (GLDA), for the problem of discrete state discovery. GLDA borrows the individual-specific mixture structure from a popular topic model Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) in Natural Language Processing. We found that in both datasets the GLDA-learned class weights achieved significantly higher correlations with clinically assessed depression, anxiety, and stress scores than those produced by the baseline GMM.
