A Deep Latent Variable Framework for Jointly Modeling Missingness, Measurement Error, and Heterogeneity

A unified probabilistic framework that jointly addresses missing data, measurement error, and population heterogeneity utilizing deep latent variable representation is proposed that integrates a novel hierarchical tree-routed variational autoencoder with pattern-aware latent representations and calibration-based denois...

Neural ODE enhanced linear mixed effect models for estimating complex association patterns of time-varying covariates with the marker trajectory

The Neural ODE-LMM is proposed, which embeds a Neural Ordinary Differential Equation (Neural ODE) within the linear mixed-effects framework: a learned vector field encodes covariate trajectories into a continuous-time latent state that drives both the fixed- and random-effect design, while preserving the standard LMM o...

Deciding When to Decide: Testing Operational Suboptimality Under Distributional Shift

This work proposes \texttt{RADAR} (Regret-based Assessment of Decision Adequacy and Risk), a decision-focused framework that uses inverse optimization to infer latent preferences and tests the deployed decision's optimality gap under the current distribution.

Content Exploration Beyond the Feed: Creator Supply and the Shared Corpus

This work analyzes four experiments on a major short-video platform, establishing a positive creator response, measuring the gross corpus flow visible within three weeks, and showing the design and duration needed to identify total value.

Signed random Fourier features for fast density estimation with indefinite kernels

The signed random Fourier features (SRFF) technique is introduced, a generalization of RFF compatible with indefinite kernels whose inverse Fourier transform is absolutely integrable and speed up KDE in the case of multivariate compact kernels, which are generally not positive definite.

Uniform Statistical Convergence of Empirical Sinkhorn Potentials with Exponential and Polynomial Dependence on the Regularization Parameter

We study the empirical Sinkhorn estimator of the entropic optimal transport potentials under the uniform loss. Since the potentials are only unique up to additive constants, we measure the error using the quotient supremum norm, defined as $d_\infty([u],[v]) = \inf_{a\in\mathbb{R}}\|u-v-a\|_\infty$. For a fixed regular...

Sharp Restricted Isometry Thresholds for Global Minima of Rank-Restricted Matrix LASSO

We determine the sharp restricted isometry threshold for recovery at global minima of the rank-restricted matrix LASSO. For target rank $r_{\star}$, if the rank-$k$ RIP constant satisfies $\delta<\delta_{\mathrm{sharp}}(k/r_{\star})$, where $\delta_{\mathrm{sharp}}(t)=t/(4-t)$ for $0<t<4/3$ and $\delta_{\mathrm{sharp}}...

Jigsaw-CRL: Recovering Global Latent Causal Order from Fragmented Multi-Client Interventions

This work proposes Jigsaw-CRL, a framework for recovering global latent causal order from a fragmented multi-client setting, where multiple clients interact with the same global latent causal system but each client only accesses and intervenes on a subset of the latent variables.

The information geometry of product-reference discrete diffusion: Interaction growth complexity and optimal scheduling

The aggregate IGC mass admits bounds in terms of total correlation and dual total correlation, thereby connecting the pathwise geometry to classical measures of multivariate dependence and connecting the pathwise geometry to classical measures of multivariate dependence.

Representation Learning with Quantum Signal Processing

This work establishes quantum signal processing (QSP) as a solvable quantum model of the representation-learning regime, and proves a sparse-data guarantee for the full nonlinear gradient flow without freezing or ensemble-averaging the kernel.

Quantitative Target Convergence and Uniform-in-Time Propagation of Chaos for Langevin-Regularized SVGD

We establish quantitative convergence to the target and uniform-in-time propagation of chaos for Langevin-regularized Stein variational gradient descent. The Stein interaction need not be small relative to the confining Langevin drift and does not generally yield a contractive particle coupling. At the mean-field level...

Sharp Approximation Rates for Neural Networks with Affine Latent Parameterizations

The result shows that even a fixed-dimensional latent space suffices to achieve vanishing approximation error as the network budget increases, and it is proved that the optimal worst-case uniform approximation error over the unit ball ofolder functions on $[0,1]^d$ has the sharp order.

Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
