We propose MetaNOR, a meta-learnt approach for transfer-learning operators based on the nonlocal operator regression. The overall goal is to efficiently provide surrogate models for new and unknown material-learning tasks with different microstructures. The algorithm consists of two phases: (1) learning a common nonlocal kernel representation from existing tasks; (2) transferring the learned knowledge and rapidly learning surrogate operators for unseen tasks with a different material, where only a few test samples are required. We apply MetaNOR to model the wave propagation within 1D metamaterials, showing substantial improvements on the sampling efficiency for new materials.

Databricks is a business software startup that provides Data Engineering tools for processing and transforming massive amounts of data to develop machine learning models. Traditional Big Data procedures are not only slow to complete jobs but also take more time to build up Hadoop clusters. However, Databricks is built on top of distributed Cloud computing infrastructures like Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud, which allow programmes to execute on CPUs or GPUs according to analytical needs. In this article, we will be learning about building a machine learning model in Databricks. Following are the topics to be covered. In this article, we will be building a multivariate linear regression model for predicting the charges on insurance offered by the company based on different features.

Atmospheric Extreme Events (EEs) cause severe damages to human societies and ecosystems. The frequency and intensity of EEs and other associated events are increasing in the current climate change and global warming risk. The accurate prediction, characterization, and attribution of atmospheric EEs is therefore a key research field, in which many groups are currently working by applying different methodologies and computational tools. Machine Learning (ML) methods have arisen in the last years as powerful techniques to tackle many of the problems related to atmospheric EEs. This paper reviews the ML algorithms applied to the analysis, characterization, prediction, and attribution of the most important atmospheric EEs. A summary of the most used ML techniques in this area, and a comprehensive critical review of literature related to ML in EEs, are provided. A number of examples is discussed and perspectives and outlooks on the field are drawn.

With graduation season just around the corner, I've had a few family members ask how often they would use the information they learned over the years. One cousin, in particular, was not a huge fan of math. However, he built his gaming PC and otherwise enjoys learning about computer hardware. At one point it was mentioned that computers will do all the necessary math, so why memorize formulas? While I saw his perspective to a degree, math is a building block to learning more about computers especially, and being able to verify results never hurt as a programmer. That train thought brought me back to Algebra 1, where I remember learning about graphs and modeling methods such as Linear Regression.

In this paper, we study the problem of sparse mixed linear regression on an unlabeled dataset that is generated from linear measurements from two different regression parameter vectors. Since the data is unlabeled, our task is not only to figure out a good approximation of the regression parameter vectors but also to label the dataset correctly. In its original form, this problem is NP-hard. The most popular algorithms to solve this problem (such as Expectation-Maximization) have a tendency to stuck at local minima. We provide a novel invex relaxation for this intractable problem which leads to a solution with provable theoretical guarantees. This relaxation enables exact recovery of data labels. Furthermore, we recover a close approximation of the regression parameter vectors which match the true parameter vectors in support and sign. Our formulation uses a carefully constructed primal dual witnesses framework for the invex problem. Furthermore, we show that the sample complexity of our method is only logarithmic in terms of the dimension of the regression parameter vectors.

Before I go to the implementation of Linear Regression in Python, we'll take a minute to understand what Linear Regression is. Linear Regression is a linear line that predicts the relationship of a dependent variable to an independent variable. From the above simple definition, you might be confused as to how the line predicts this relationship? Suppose we have the per capita income of the US by year, as shown in Figure 1 below. In the figure, each year has a corresponding income with it.

Years ago, I had to choose between a neural network and a decision tree learning algorithm. It was necessary to pick an efficient one, because we planned to apply the algorithm to a very large set of users on a limited compute budget. I went with a neural network. I hadn't used boosted decision trees in a while, and I thought they required more computation than they actually do -- so I made a bad call. Fortunately, my team quickly revised my decision, and the project was successful. This experience was a lesson in the importance of learning, and continually refreshing, foundational knowledge. If I had refreshed my familiarity with boosted trees, I would have made a better decision.
