- The General Theory of Localization Methods
This paper proposes a general machine learning framework called the localization method, which is fundamentally built on two core concepts: localization kernels and local means -- key components that underpin the self-attention mechanism. To establish a rigorous theoretical foundation, the framework...
- Semiparametric Efficient Bilevel Gradient Estimation
Functional bilevel methods estimate a lower-level function and plug it into a hypergradient, but this plug-in gradient can retain first-order bias when the lower-level problem is learned nonparametrically. To remove this bias, we develop a semiparametric debiasing theory for population bilevel gradi...
- Conditioning Gaussian Processes on Almost Anything
Gaussian processes (GPs) offer a principled probabilistic model over functions, but exact inference is restricted to the linear-Gaussian regime. We establish an explicit equivalence between GPs and a class of linear diffusion models, recasting predictive sampling as an ODE with closed-form Gaussian ...
- Decision-Path Patterns as Tree Reliability Signals: Path-based Adaptive Weighting for Random Forest Classification
Random forests aggregate tree votes by simple majority, treating all trees as equally informative. We observe that the topological pattern along each tree's root-to-leaf decision path -- where and how often the dominant class label flips along it -- carries a signal of tree reliability that is explo...
- SURF: Steering the Scalarization Weight to Uniformly Traverse the Pareto Front
Scalarization is widely used in multi-objective optimization owing to its simplicity and scalability. In many applications, the goal is to generate solutions that represent diverse user preferences, ideally with uniform coverage of the Pareto front (PF). However, uniformly sampling scalarization wei...
