Iterated Block Particle Filter for High-dimensional Parameter Learning: Beating the Curse of Dimensionality

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Parameter learning for high-dimensional, partially observed, and nonlinear stochastic processes is a methodological challenge. Spatiotemporal disease transmission systems provide examples of such processes giving rise to open inference problems. We propose the iterated block particle filter (IBPF) algorithm for learning high-dimensional parameters over graphical state space models with general state spaces, measures, transition densities and graph structure. Theoretical performance guarantees are obtained on beating the curse of dimensionality (COD), algorithm convergence, and likelihood maximization. Experiments on a highly nonlinear and non-Gaussian spatiotemporal model for measles transmission reveal that the iterated ensemble Kalman filter algorithm (Li et al. (2020)) is ineffective and the iterated filtering algorithm (Ionides et al. (2015)) suffers from the COD, while our IBPF algorithm beats COD consistently across various experiments with different metrics.

Accounting Financial Accounting Total

#artificialintelligence

The course will start off at the basics and work all the way through the financial accounting topics generally covered in an undergraduate program. First, we will describe what financial accounting is and the objectives of financial accounting. We will learn how the double-entry accounting system works by applying it to the accounting equation. In other words, we will use an accounting equation to record financial transactions using a double-entry accounting system. We well learn all topics by fist having presentations and then applying the skills using Excel practice problems.

Stanford Takes on the Techlash

The New Yorker

In the fall of 2015, Rob Reich, a philosopher and a political scientist at Stanford, was chatting with a freshman during office hours. "I asked him what he planned to study," Reich recalled recently. "He said, 'Definitely computer science. I have some ideas for startups.' " In the spirit of small talk, Reich asked, What kind? "He looked at me with total earnestness and said, 'To tell you that, I'd have to ask you to sign a nondisclosure agreement.'
