Bias and variance reduction and denoising for CTF Estimation
When using an electron microscope for imaging of particles embedded in vitreous ice, the objective lens will inevitably corrupt the projection images. This corruption manifests as a band-pass filter on the micrograph. In addition, it causes the phase of several frequency bands to be flipped and distorts frequency bands. As a precursor to compensating for this distortion, the corrupting point spread function, which is termed the contrast transfer function (CTF) in reciprocal space, must be estimated. In this paper, we will present a novel method for CTF estimation. Our method is based on the multi-taper method for power spectral density estimation, which aims to reduce the bias and variance of the estimator. Furthermore, we use known properties of the CTF and of the background of the power spectrum to increase the accuracy of our estimation. We will show that the resulting estimates capture the zero-crossings of the CTF in the low-mid frequency range.

Robust Recommendation from Noisy Implicit Feedback: A GMM-Weighted Bayes-label Transition Matrix Framework
Learning from implicit feedback in recommender systems is fundamentally challenged by pervasive label noise. While conventional denoising approaches often discard noisy instances to ensure robustness, this strategy inevi…
Refining Covariance Matrix Estimation in Stochastic Gradient Descent Through Bias Reduction
We study online inference and asymptotic covariance estimation for the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm. While classical methods (such as plug-in and batch-means estimators) are available, they either require …
Variance Reduction in Gradient Exploration for Online Learning to Rank
Online Learning to Rank (OL2R) algorithms learn from implicit user feedback on the fly. The key of such algorithms is an unbiased estimation of gradients, which is often (trivially) achieved by uniformly sampling from th…

Policy gradient methods are very attractive in reinforcement learning due to their model-free nature and convergence guarantees. These methods, however, suffer from high variance in gradient estimation, resulting in poor…
