• Abstract: The Additive Voronoi Tessellations (AddiVortes) model is a multivariate regression model that uses multiple Voronoi tessellations to partition the covariate space for an additive ensemble model. In this paper, the AddiVortes framework is extended to binary classification by incorporating a probit model with a latent variable formulation. Specifically, we utilise a data augmentation technique, where a latent variable is introduced and the binary response is determined via thresholding. In most cases, the AddiVortes model outperforms random forests, BART and other leading black-box regression models when compared using a range of metrics. A comprehensive analysis is conducted using AddiVortes to predict an individual's likelihood of being approved for a home mortgage, based on a range of covariates. This evaluation highlights the model's effectiveness in capturing complex relationships within the data and its potential for improving decision-making in mortgage approval processes.

It is proved that this structured model can efficiently interpolate this tessellation and approximate the multiple hypotheses target distribution.

  We revisit various ensembles of randomized trees to investigate their behavior in the perspective of prediction uncertainty estimation. We propose a new way of constructing an ensemble of randomized trees, referred to as BwO forest, where bagging with oversampling is employed to construct bootstrapped samples. Experimental results demonstrate the validity and good performance of BwO forest over existing tree-based models in various circumstances.

  Current autoencoder-based disentangled representation learning methods achieve disentanglement by penalizing the ( aggregate) posterior to encourage statistical independence of the latent factors. We present a novel multi-stage modeling approach where the disentangled factors are first learned using a penalty-based disentangled representation learning method. Then, the low-quality reconstruction is improved with another deep generative model that is trained to model the missing correlated latent variables.

Our approach should be preferred if the goal is to select as many relevant predictors as possible. Our proposed approach allows us to identify features that characterise cardiometabolic syndrome at the molecular level.
