Scalable Marked Point Processes for Exchangeable and Non-Exchangeable Event Sequences
We adopt the interpretability offered by a parametric, Hawkes-process-inspired conditional probability mass function for the marks and apply variational inference techniques to derive a general and scalable inferential framework for marked point processes. The framework can handle both exchangeable and non-exchangeable event sequences with minimal tuning and without any pre-training. This contrasts with many parametric and non-parametric state-of-the-art methods that typically require pre-training and/or careful tuning, and can only handle exchangeable event sequences. The framework's competitive computational and predictive performance against other state-of-the-art methods are illustrated through real data experiments. Its attractiveness for large-scale applications is demonstrated through a case study involving all events occurring in an English Premier League season.

Exchangeable Variational Autoencoders with Applications to Genomic Data
Exchangeable-structured datapoints are ubiquitous in statistical problems ranging from point clouds to graphs to sets. Particularly in biological settings where multiple experiments derived from a noisy scientific proces…
Bayesian InferenceBlack-box constructions for exchangeable sequences of random multisets
We develop constructions for exchangeable sequences of point processes that are rendered conditionally-i.i.d. negative binomial processes by a (possibly unknown) random measure called the base measure. Negative binomial …

This paper derives new maximal inequalities for empirical processes associated with separately exchangeable random arrays. For fixed index dimension $K\ge 1$, we establish a global maximal inequality bounding the $q$-th …
Exchangeable Gaussian Processes for Staggered-Adoption Policy Evaluation
We study the use of exchangeable multi-task Gaussian processes (GPs) for causal inference in panel data, applying the framework to two settings: one with a single treated unit subject to a once-and-for-all treatment and …

We study causal effect estimation in a setting where the data are not i.i.d. (independent and identically distributed). We focus on exchangeable data satisfying an assumption of independent causal mechanisms. Traditional…
