    Copyright by Mingzhang Yin 2020 The Dissertation Committee for Mingzhang Yin certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Variational Methods with Dependence Structure Committee: Mingyuan Zhou, Supervisor Purnamrita Sarkar Qixing Huang Peter Mueller Variational Methods with Dependence Structure by Mingzhang Yin DISSERTATION Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN May 2020 Dedicated to my loved ones. Acknowledgments I always think the pursuit of truth is a path of beauty. I am fortunate to take such a journey at the University of Texas at Austin with many insightful and supportive people, who make the experience memorable. First and foremost, I want to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor, Dr. Mingyuan Zhou. Back in 2016, I stepped into the deep learning realm and was very new to the independent research. I will never forget the patience he had when I was in difficulties, the firm confidence he gave when I was hesitating and the moments we cheered together for new discoveries. With comprehensive knowledge, he taught me a taste of choosing right problems and an attitude towards science - honest, rigorous and innovative. Also, many exciting projects cannot be completed without his generous allowance and encouragement to explore new areas on my own interest. I appreciate his fostering and protection of my curiosity. In retrospect, I am blessed to have Dr. Zhou as my advisor, to have the opportunity to learn and work with him.

  • Wikipedia Topic: Logistic Function with Selected References
    Selected Articles These are entries printed using the PDF feature of Wikipedia. The title of each article is listed in bookmarks. Excerpts Wikipedia (pronounced /wɪkɨpidi.ə/ WIK-i-PEE-dee-ə) is a multilingual, web- based, free-content encyclopedia project based on an openly editable model. The name "Wikipedia" is a portmanteau of the words wiki (a technology for creating collaborative websites, from the Hawaiian word wiki, meaning "quick") and encyclopedia. Wikipedia's articles provide links to guide the user to related pages with additional information. Wikipedia is written collaboratively by largely anonymous Internet volunteers who write without pay. Anyone with Internet access can write and make changes to Wikipedia articles (except in certain cases where editing is restricted to prevent disruption or vandalism). Users can contribute anonymously, under a pseudonym, or with their real identity, if they choose. People of all ages, cultures and backgrounds can add or edit article prose, references, images and other media here. What is contributed is more important than the expertise or qualifications of the contributor. What will remain depends upon whether it fits within Wikipedia's policies, including being verifiable against a published reliable source, so excluding editors' opinions and beliefs and unreviewed research, and is free of copyright restrictions and contentious material about living people. Contributions cannot damage Wikipedia because the software allows easy reversal of mistakes and many experienced editors are watching to help and ensure that edits are cumulative improvements. Wikipedia is a live collaboration differing from paper-based reference sources in important ways. Unlike printed encyclopedias, Wikipedia is continually created and updated, with articles on historic events appearing within minutes, rather than months or years.
