We revisit the classic database of weighted-P4s which admit Calabi-Yau 3-fold hypersurfaces equipped with a diverse set of tools from the machine-learning toolbox. Unsupervised techniques identify an unanticipated almost linear dependence of the topological data on the weights. This then allows us to identify a previously unnoticed clustering in the Calabi-Yau data. Supervised techniques are successful in predicting the topological parameters of the hypersurface from its weights with an accuracy of R^2 > 95%. Supervised learning also allows us to identify weighted-P4s which admit Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces to 100% accuracy by making use of partitioning supported by the clustering behaviour.

We propose a new algorithm that learns from a set of input-output pairs. Our algorithm is designed for populations where the relation between the input variables and the output variable exhibits a heterogeneous behavior across the predictor space. The algorithm starts with generating subsets that are concentrated around random points in the input space. This is followed by training a local predictor for each subset. Those predictors are then combined in a novel way to yield an overall predictor. We call this algorithm "LEarning with Subset Stacking" or LESS, due to its resemblance to method of stacking regressors. We compare the testing performance of LESS with the state-of-the-art methods on several datasets. Our comparison shows that LESS is a competitive supervised learning method. Moreover, we observe that LESS is also efficient in terms of computation time and it allows a straightforward parallel implementation.

The main objective of this paper is to outline a theoretical framework to characterise humans' decision-making strategies under uncertainty, in particular active learning in a black-box optimization task and trading-off between information gathering (exploration) and reward seeking (exploitation). Humans' decisions making according to these two objectives can be modelled in terms of Pareto rationality. If a decision set contains a Pareto efficient strategy, a rational decision maker should always select the dominant strategy over its dominated alternatives. A distance from the Pareto frontier determines whether a choice is Pareto rational. To collect data about humans' strategies we have used a gaming application that shows the game field, with previous decisions and observations, as well as the score obtained. The key element in this paper is the representation of behavioural patterns of human learners as a discrete probability distribution. This maps the problem of the characterization of humans' behaviour into a space whose elements are probability distributions structured by a distance between histograms, namely the Wasserstein distance (WST). The distributional analysis gives new insights about human search strategies and their deviations from Pareto rationality. Since the uncertainty is one of the two objectives defining the Pareto frontier, the analysis has been performed for three different uncertainty quantification measures to identify which better explains the Pareto compliant behavioural patterns. Beside the analysis of individual patterns WST has also enabled a global analysis computing the barycenters and WST k-means clustering. A further analysis has been performed by a decision tree to relate non-Paretian behaviour, characterized by exasperated exploitation, to the dynamics of the evolution of the reward seeking process.

With unsupervised clustering, we aim to determine "natural" or "data-driven" groups in the data without using apriori knowledge about labels or categories. The challenge of using different unsupervised clustering methods is that it will result in different partitioning of the samples and thus different groupings since each method implicitly impose a structure on the data. Thus the question arises; What is a "good" clustering? Figure 2A depicts a bunch of samples in a 2-dimensional space. Intuitively we may describe it as a group of samples (aka the images) that are cluttered together. I would state that there are two clusters without using any label information.

This posts describes, along with Python code, an analysis of the readers' comments open dataset from Rome's libraries made publicly available by "Istituzione Biblioteche di Roma"¹. The analysis leverages topic modeling techniques to find recurring topics among readers' comments, and thus determine, by inference, the themes of the borrowed books and the interests of the readers. Moreover, sentiment analysis is performed to determine whether customers comments are positive or negative. Finally, readers data (age and occupation) are used to achieve customers segmentation via clustering techniques. This provides insights on the topics of borrowed books, the readers sentiment and different readers clusters.

While the fuel economy of new gasoline or diesel-powered vehicles improves every year, green vehicles are considered even more environmentally friendly because they're powered by alternative fuel or electricity. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), battery only electric vehicles (BEVs), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), hydrogen cars, and solar cars are all considered types of green vehicles. Charging stations for green vehicles are similar to the gas pump in a gas station. They can be fixed on the ground or wall and installed in public buildings (shopping malls, public parking lots, and so on), residential district parking lots, or charging stations. They can be based on different voltage levels and charge various types of electric vehicles.

The multi-task learning (MTL) paradigm can be traced back to an early paper of Caruana (1997) in which it was argued that data from multiple tasks can be used with the aim to obtain a better performance over learning each task independently. A solution of MTL with conflicting objectives requires modelling the trade-off among them which is generally beyond what a straight linear combination can achieve. A theoretically principled and computationally effective strategy is finding solutions which are not dominated by others as it is addressed in the Pareto analysis. Multi-objective optimization problems arising in the multi-task learning context have specific features and require adhoc methods. The analysis of these features and the proposal of a new computational approach represent the focus of this work. Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) can easily include the concept of dominance and therefore the Pareto analysis. The major drawback of MOEAs is a low sample efficiency with respect to function evaluations. The key reason for this drawback is that most of the evolutionary approaches do not use models for approximating the objective function. Bayesian Optimization takes a radically different approach based on a surrogate model, such as a Gaussian Process. In this thesis the solutions in the Input Space are represented as probability distributions encapsulating the knowledge contained in the function evaluations. In this space of probability distributions, endowed with the metric given by the Wasserstein distance, a new algorithm MOEA/WST can be designed in which the model is not directly on the objective function but in an intermediate Information Space where the objects from the input space are mapped into histograms. Computational results show that the sample efficiency and the quality of the Pareto set provided by MOEA/WST are significantly better than in the standard MOEA.

In this paper, we address a crucial problem in fashion e-commerce (with respect to customer experience, as well as revenue): color variants identification, i.e., identifying fashion products that match exactly in their design (or style), but only to differ in their color. We propose a generic framework, that leverages deep visual Representation Learning at its heart, to address this problem for our fashion e-commerce platform. Our framework could be trained with supervisory signals in the form of triplets, that are obtained manually. However, it is infeasible to obtain manual annotations for the entire huge collection of data usually present in fashion e-commerce platforms, such as ours, while capturing all the difficult corner cases. But, to our rescue, interestingly we observed that this crucial problem in fashion e-commerce could also be solved by simple color jitter based image augmentation, that recently became widely popular in the contrastive Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) literature, that seeks to learn visual representations without using manual labels. This naturally led to a question in our mind: Could we leverage SSL in our use-case, and still obtain comparable performance to our supervised framework? The answer is, Yes! because, color variant fashion objects are nothing but manifestations of a style, in different colors, and a model trained to be invariant to the color (with, or without supervision), should be able to recognize this! This is what the paper further demonstrates, both qualitatively, and quantitatively, while evaluating a couple of state-of-the-art SSL techniques, and also proposing a novel method.
