Infinite-Dimensional Operator/Block Kaczmarz Algorithms: Regret Bounds and $ฮป$-Effectiveness
Jeong, Halyun, Jorgensen, Palle E. T., Kwon, Hyun-Kyoung, Song, Myung-Sin
We present a variety of projection-based linear regression algorithms with a focus on modern machine-learning models and their algorithmic performance. We study the role of the relaxation parameter in generalized Kaczmarz algorithms and establish a priori regret bounds with explicit $ฮป$-dependence to quantify how much an algorithm's performance deviates from its optimal performance. A detailed analysis of relaxation parameter is also provided. Applications include: explicit regret bounds for the framework of Kaczmarz algorithm models, non-orthogonal Fourier expansions, and the use of regret estimates in modern machine learning models, including for noisy data, i.e., regret bounds for the noisy Kaczmarz algorithms. Motivated by machine-learning practice, our wider framework treats bounded operators (on infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces), with updates realized as (block) Kaczmarz algorithms, leading to new and versatile results.
6 hip stretches for tightness and pain
Is hip tightness to blame for your back or knee pain? The cool tattoos are optional. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Because, even among those of us who exercise regularly, the further we get from childhood the more limited our varieties of movement typically become, leading to weaker muscles, brittler bones and less mobile joints. "We don't move laterally as much anymore, as we get older and we're not playing sports. Even if you're long-distance running, you're just moving in one plane [of motion]," says Patrick Suarez, OCS, SCS, a physical therapist based in Albany, New York.
4 ways to fix 'tech neck,' according to a physical therapist
Strengthening can help if you're staring at your phone too much. You don't need a ton of equipment to fix your neck. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. If you're here seeking relief from tech neck, or the forward head posture associated with the use of personal devices, we've got good and bad news. The good news is you've come to the right place; the bad news is you're probably contributing to it right now.
On Algorithms for Sparse Multi-factor NMF
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a popular data analysis method, the objective of which is to approximate a matrix with all nonnegative components into the product of two nonnegative matrices. In this work, we describe a new simple and efficient algorithm for multi-factor nonnegative matrix factorization (mfNMF) problem that generalizes the original NMF problem to more than two factors. Furthermore, we extend the mfNMF algorithm to incorporate a regularizer based on the Dirichlet distribution to encourage the sparsity of the components of the obtained factors. Our sparse mfNMF algorithm affords a closed form and an intuitive interpretation, and is more efficient in comparison with previous works that use fix point iterations. We demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our algorithms on both synthetic and real data sets.
5 low back stretches to relieve aches and pains
Simple moves to build strength and help prevent injuries. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. If you've never experienced low back pain, just wait. Up to 80 percent of us end up suffering it at some point during our lifetimes. In fact, lumbar pain is the second most common reason people visit a doctor behind colds and flu, making low back stretches and exercises as valuable in keeping us healthy as hand washing and vaccination.
