It depends on what you are trying to do with this model. The question, as currently posed, might be better suited for /r/statistics. If you're just trying to maximize predictive accuracy, why use polynomial regression at all? Try a boosting tree. If you really care about explaining this model, you're doing statistical inference and this question is not well posed. Would it be "wrong" do use lasso to select your polynomial degree?

Change detection in heterogeneous multitemporal satellite images is an emerging and challenging topic in remote sensing. In particular, one of the main challenges is to tackle the problem in an unsupervised manner. In this paper we propose an unsupervised framework for bitemporal heterogeneous change detection based on the comparison of affinity matrices and image regression. First, our method quantifies the similarity of affinity matrices computed from co-located image patches in the two images. This is done to automatically identify pixels that are likely to be unchanged. With the identified pixels as pseudo-training data, we learn a transformation to map the first image to the domain of the other image, and vice versa. Four regression methods are selected to carry out the transformation: Gaussian process regression, support vector regression, random forest regression, and a recently proposed kernel regression method called homogeneous pixel transformation. To evaluate the potentials and limitations of our framework, and also the benefits and disadvantages of each regression method, we perform experiments on two real data sets. The results indicate that the comparison of the affinity matrices can already be considered a change detection method by itself. However, image regression is shown to improve the results obtained by the previous step alone and produces accurate change detection maps despite of the heterogeneity of the multitemporal input data. Notably, the random forest regression approach excels by achieving similar accuracy as the other methods, but with a significantly lower computational cost and with fast and robust tuning of hyperparameters.

In this work we propose a new method to optimize the architecture of an artificial neural network. The algorithm proposed, called Greedy Search for Neural Network Architecture, aims to minimize the complexity of the architecture search and the complexity of the final model selected without compromising the predictive performance. The reduction of the computational cost makes this approach appealing for two reasons. Firstly, there is a need from domain scientists to easily interpret predictions returned by a deep learning model and this tends to be cumbersome when neural networks have complex structures. Secondly, the use of neural networks is challenging in situations with compute/memory limitations. Promising numerical results show that our method is competitive against other hyperparameter optimization algorithms for attainable performance and computational cost. We also generalize the definition of adjusted score from linear regression models to neural networks. Numerical experiments are presented to show that the adjusted score can boost the greedy search to favor smaller architectures over larger ones without compromising the predictive performance.

Hard optimisation problems such as Boolean Satisfiability typically have long solving times and can usually be solved by many algorithms, although the performance can vary widely in practice. Research has shown that no single algorithm outperforms all the others; thus, it is crucial to select the best algorithm for a given problem. Supervised machine learning models can accurately predict which solver is best for a given problem, but they require first to run every solver in the portfolio for all examples available to create labelled data. As this approach cannot scale, we developed an active learning framework that addresses this problem by constructing an optimal training set, so that the learner can achieve higher or equal performances with less training data. Our work proves that active learning is beneficial for algorithm selection techniques and provides practical guidance to incorporate into existing systems.

The framework of information theoretic learning (ITL) has been verified as a powerful approach for robust machine learning, which improves robustness significantly in regression, feature extraction, dimensionality reduction and so on. Nevertheless, few studies utilize ITL for robust classification. In this study, we attempt to improve the robustness of the logistic regression, a fundamental method in classification, through analyzing the characteristic when the model is affected by outliers. We propose an ITL-based variant that learns by the error distribution, the performance of which is experimentally evaluated on two toy examples and several public datasets, compared with two traditional methods and two states of the art. The results demonstrate that the novel method can outperform the states of the art evidently in some cases, and behaves with desirable potential to achieve better robustness in complex situations than existing methods.

In this paper, we solve the arms exponential exploding issue in multivariate Multi-Armed Bandit (Multivariate-MAB) problem when the arm dimension hierarchy is considered. We propose a framework called path planning (TS-PP) which utilizes decision graph/trees to model arm reward success rate with m-way dimension interaction, and adopts Thompson sampling (TS) for heuristic search of arm selection. Naturally, it is quite straightforward to combat the curse of dimensionality using a serial processes that operates sequentially by focusing on one dimension per each process. For our best acknowledge, we are the first to solve Multivariate-MAB problem using graph path planning strategy and deploying alike Monte-Carlo tree search ideas. Our proposed method utilizing tree models has advantages comparing with traditional models such as general linear regression. Simulation studies validate our claim by achieving faster convergence speed, better efficient optimal arm allocation and lower cumulative regret.

Why is artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) so important? Anyone who doesn't understand this will soon be left behind. There are many kinds of implementations and techniques that carry out AI and ML to solve real-time problems, and supervised learning is one of the most used approaches. "The key to artificial intelligence has always been the representation." In supervised learning, we start by importing a dataset containing training attributes and the target attributes.
