Fixed-point algorithms for learning determinantal point processes
Determinantal point processes (DPPs) offer an elegant tool for encoding probabilities over subsets of a ground set. Discrete DPPs are parametrized by a positive semidefinite matrix (called the DPP kernel), and estimating this kernel is key to learning DPPs from observed data. We consider the task of learning the DPP kernel, and develop for it a surprisingly simple yet effective new algorithm. Our algorithm offers the following benefits over previous approaches: (a) it is much simpler; (b) it yields equally good and sometimes even better local maxima; and (c) it runs an order of magnitude faster on large problems. We present experimental results on both real and simulated data to illustrate the numerical performance of our technique.

A New Many-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm Based on Determinantal Point Processes
To handle different types of Many-Objective Optimization Problems (MaOPs), Many-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MaOEAs) need to simultaneously maintain convergence and population diversity in the high-dimensional obje…

We present a novel probabilistic model for distributions over sets of structures -- for example, sets of sequences, trees, or graphs. The critical characteristic of our model is a preference for diversity: sets containin…

The standard Monte Carlo estimator $\widehat{I}_N^{\mathrm{MC}}$ of $\int fdω$ relies on independent samples from $ω$ and has variance of order $1/N$. Replacing the samples with a determinantal point process (DPP), a rep…
