Gradient Weights help Nonparametric Regressors

2012-12-01 · NeurIPS 2012 12 · Samory Kpotufe, Abdeslam Boularias

In regression problems over $\real^d$, the unknown function $f$ often varies more in some coordinates than in others. We show that weighting each coordinate $i$ with the estimated norm of the $i$th derivative of $f$ is an efficient way to significantly improve the performance of distance-based regressors, e.g. kernel and $k$-NN regressors. We propose a simple estimator of these derivative norms and prove its consistency. Moreover, the proposed estimator is efficiently learned online.

Nonparametric Density Estimation for Stochastic Optimization with an Observable State Variable

2010-12-01 · NeurIPS 2010 12 · Lauren Hannah, Warren Powell, David M. Blei

We study convex stochastic optimization problems where a noisy objective function value is observed after a decision is made. There are many stochastic optimization problems whose behavior depends on an exogenous state v…
