A recent analysis of the home hospitalization and early discharge (HH/ED) program at Hospital Clínic de Barcelona over a 10-year period demonstrated high levels of acceptance by patients and professionals, as well as health value-based generation at the provider and health-system levels. However, health risk assessment was identified as an unmet need with the potential to enhance clinical decision making. Objective: The objective of this study is to generate and assess predictive models of mortality and in-hospital admission at entry and at HH/ED discharge. Methods: Predictive modeling of mortality and in-hospital admission was done in 2 different scenarios: at entry into the HH/ED program and at discharge, from January 2009 to December 2015.

    Learning and Generalization in Overparameterized Neural Networks, Going Beyond Two Layers Zeyuan Allen-Zhu Yuanzhi Li Yingyu Liang [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Microsoft Research AI Stanford University University of Wisconsin-Madison November 12, 2018 (version 6)∗ Abstract The fundamental learning theory behind neural networks remains largely open. What classes of functions can neural networks actually learn? Why doesn't the trained network overfit when it is overparameterized? In this work, we prove that overparameterized neural networks can learn some notable con- cept classes, including two and three-layer networks with fewer parameters and smooth activa- tions. Moreover, the learning can be simply done by SGD (stochastic gradient descent) or its variants in polynomial time using polynomially many samples. The sample complexity can also be almost independent of the number of parameters in the network. On the technique side, our analysis goes beyond the so-called NTK (neural tangent kernel) linearization of neural networks in prior works. We establish a new notion of quadratic ap- proximation of the neural network (that can be viewed as a second-order variant of NTK), and connect it to the SGD theory of escaping saddle points. arXiv:1811.04918v6 [cs.LG] 1 Jun 2020 ∗V1 appears on this date, V2/V3/V4 polish writing and parameters, V5 adds experiments, and V6 reflects our conference camera ready version.

  • Analysis of Perceptron-Based Active Learning
    JournalofMachineLearningResearch10(2009)281-299 Submitted 12/07; 12/08; Published 2/09 Analysis of Perceptron-Based Active Learning Sanjoy Dasgupta [email protected] Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of California, San Diego La Jolla, CA 92093-0404, USA Adam Tauman Kalai [email protected] Microsoft Research Office 14063 One Memorial Drive Cambridge, MA 02142, USA Claire Monteleoni [email protected] Center for Computational Learning Systems Columbia University Suite 850, 475 Riverside Drive, MC 7717 New York, NY 10115, USA Editor: Manfred Warmuth Abstract Ω 1 We start by showing that in an active learning setting, the Perceptron algorithm needs ( ε2 ) labels to learn linear separators within generalization error ε. We then present a simple active learning algorithm for this problem, which combines a modification of the Perceptron update with an adap- tive filtering rule for deciding which points to query. For data distributed uniformly over the unit 1 sphere, we show that our algorithm reaches generalization error ε after asking for just O˜(d log ε ) labels. This exponential improvement over the usual sample complexity of supervised learning had previously been demonstrated only for the computationally more complex query-by-committee al- gorithm. Keywords: active learning, perceptron, label complexity bounds, online learning 1. Introduction In many machine learning applications, unlabeled data is abundant but labeling is expensive. This distinction is not captured in standard models of supervised learning, and has motivated the field of active learning, in which the labels of data points are initially hidden, and the learner must pay for each label it wishes revealed.

  • The Sample Complexity of Agnostic Learning Under Deterministic Labels
    JMLR: Workshop and Conference Proceedings vol 35:1–16, 2014 The sample complexity of agnostic learning under deterministic labels Shai Ben-David [email protected] Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario N2L 3G1, CANADA Ruth Urner [email protected] School of Computer Science, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia 30332, USA Abstract With the emergence of Machine Learning tools that allow handling data with a huge number of features, it becomes reasonable to assume that, over the full set of features, the true labeling is (almost) fully determined. That is, the labeling function is deterministic, but not necessarily a member of some known hypothesis class. However, agnostic learning of deterministic labels has so far received little research attention. We investigate this setting and show that it displays a behavior that is quite different from that of the fundamental results of the common (PAC) learning setups. First, we show that the sample complexity of learning a binary hypothesis class (with respect to deterministic labeling functions) is not fully determined by the VC-dimension of the class. For any d, we present classes of VC-dimension d that are learnable from O~(d/)- many samples and classes that require samples of size Ω(d/2). Furthermore, we show that in this setup, there are classes for which any proper learner has suboptimal sample complexity. While the class can be learned with sample complexity O~(d/), any proper (and therefore, any ERM) algorithm requires Ω(d/2) samples. We provide combinatorial characterizations of both phenomena, and further analyze the utility of unlabeled samples in this setting.

  • Data-Dependent Sample Complexity of Deep Neural Networks Via Lipschitz Augmentation
    Data-dependent Sample Complexity of Deep Neural Networks via Lipschitz Augmentation Colin Wei Tengyu Ma Computer Science Department Computer Science Department Stanford University Stanford University [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Existing Rademacher complexity bounds for neural networks rely only on norm control of the weight matrices and depend exponentially on depth via a product of the matrix norms. Lower bounds show that this exponential dependence on depth is unavoidable when no additional properties of the training data are considered. We suspect that this conundrum comes from the fact that these bounds depend on the training data only through the margin. In practice, many data-dependent techniques such as Batchnorm improve the generalization performance. For feedforward neural nets as well as RNNs, we obtain tighter Rademacher complexity bounds by considering additional data-dependent properties of the network: the norms of the hidden layers of the network, and the norms of the Jacobians of each layer with respect to all previous layers. Our bounds scale polynomially in depth when these empirical quantities are small, as is usually the case in practice. To obtain these bounds, we develop general tools for augmenting a sequence of functions to make their composition Lipschitz and then covering the augmented functions. Inspired by our theory, we directly regularize the network’s Jacobians during training and empirically demonstrate that this improves test performance. 1 Introduction Deep networks trained in

  • Nearly Tight Sample Complexity Bounds for Learning Mixtures of Gaussians Via Sample Compression Schemes∗
    Nearly tight sample complexity bounds for learning mixtures of Gaussians via sample compression schemes∗ Hassan Ashtiani Shai Ben-David Department of Computing and Software School of Computer Science McMaster University, and University of Waterloo, Vector Institute, ON, Canada Waterloo, ON, Canada [email protected] [email protected] Nicholas J. A. Harvey Christopher Liaw Department of Computer Science Department of Computer Science University of British Columbia University of British Columbia Vancouver, BC, Canada Vancouver, BC, Canada [email protected] [email protected] Abbas Mehrabian Yaniv Plan School of Computer Science Department of Mathematics McGill University University of British Columbia Montréal, QC, Canada Vancouver, BC, Canada [email protected] [email protected] Abstract We prove that Θ(e kd2="2) samples are necessary and sufficient for learning a mixture of k Gaussians in Rd, up to error " in total variation distance. This improves both the known upper bounds and lower bounds for this problem. For mixtures of axis-aligned Gaussians, we show that Oe(kd="2) samples suffice, matching a known lower bound. The upper bound is based on a novel technique for distribution learning based on a notion of sample compression. Any class of distributions that allows such a sample compression scheme can also be learned with few samples. Moreover, if a class of distributions has such a compression scheme, then so do the classes of products and mixtures of those distributions. The core of our main result is showing that the class of Gaussians in Rd has a small-sized sample compression. 1 Introduction Estimating distributions from observed data is a fundamental task in statistics that has been studied for over a century.

  • APPLIED MACHINE LEARNING for CYBERSECURITY in SPAM FILTERING and MALWARE DETECTION by Mark Sokolov December, 2020
    APPLIED MACHINE LEARNING FOR CYBERSECURITY IN SPAM FILTERING AND MALWARE DETECTION by Mark Sokolov December, 2020 Director of Thesis: Nic Herndon, PhD Major Department: Computer Science Machine learning is one of the fastest-growing fields and its application to cy- bersecurity is increasing. In order to protect people from malicious attacks, several machine learning algorithms have been used to predict the malicious attacks. This research emphasizes two vulnerable areas of cybersecurity that could be easily ex- ploited. First, we show that spam filtering is a well known problem that has been addressed by many authors, yet it still has vulnerabilities. Second, with the increase of malware threats in our world, a lot of companies use AutoAI to help protect their systems. Nonetheless, AutoAI is not perfect, and data scientists can still design better models. In this thesis I show that although there are efficient mechanisms to prevent malicious attacks, there are still vulnerabilities that could be easily exploited. In the visual spoofing experiment, we show that using a classifier trained on data using Latin alphabet, to classify a message with a combination of Latin and Cyrillic let- ters leads to much lower classification accuracy. In Malware prediction experiment, our model has been able to predict malware attacks on Microsoft computers and got higher accuracy than any well known Auto AI.

Predictive analytics including statistical techniques, predictive modelling, machine learning, and data mining that analyse current and historical facts to make predictions about future or otherwise unknown events. Higher education institutions nowadays are under increasing pressure to respond to national and global economic, political and social changes such as the growing need to increase the proportion of students in certain disciplines, embedding workplace graduate attributes and ensuring that the quality of learning programs are both nationally and globally relevant. However, in higher education institution, there are significant numbers of students that stop their studies before graduation, especially for undergraduate students. Problem related to stopping out student and late or not graduating student can be improved by applying analytics. Using analytics, administrators, instructors and student can predict what will happen in future. Administrator and instructors can decide suitable intervention programs for at-risk students and before students decide to leave their study. Many different machine learning techniques have been implemented for predictive modelling in the past including decision tree, k-nearest neighbour, random forest, neural network, support vector machine, naïve Bayesian and a few others.
