Bandit Quickest Changepoint Detection
Surveillance systems [HC11] are equipped with a suite of sensors that can be switched and steered to focus attention on any target or location over a physical landscape (see Figure 1) to detect abrupt changes at any location. On the other hand, sensor suites are resource limited, and only a limited subset, among all the locations, can be probed at any time.
Generative Modeling by Estimating Gradients of the Data Distribution
Generative models have many applications in machine learning. To list a few, they have been usedtogenerate high-fidelity images [26,6],synthesize realistic speech andmusic fragments [58], improve the performance of semi-supervised learning [28, 10], detect adversarial examples and other anomalous data [54], imitation learning [22], and explore promising states in reinforcement learning [41].
