In graph analysis, a classic task consists in computing similarity measures between (groups of) nodes. In latent space random graphs, nodes are associated to unknown latent variables. One may then seek to compute distances directly in the latent space, using only the graph structure. In this paper, we show that it is possible to consistently estimate entropic-regularized Optimal Transport (OT) distances between groups of nodes in the latent space. We provide a general stability result for entropic OT with respect to perturbations of the cost matrix. We then apply it to several examples of random graphs, such as graphons or $\epsilon$-graphs on manifolds. Along the way, we prove new concentration results for the so-called Universal Singular Value Thresholding estimator, and for the estimation of geodesic distances on a manifold.

The article describes the approaches for forming different predictive features of tweet data sets and using them in the predictive analysis for decision-making support. The graph theory as well as frequent itemsets and association rules theory is used for forming and retrieving different features from these datasests. The use of these approaches makes it possible to reveal a semantic structure in tweets related to a specified entity. It is shown that quantitative characteristics of semantic frequent itemsets can be used in predictive regression models with specified target variables.

We demonstrate that a neural network pre-trained on text and fine-tuned on code solves Mathematics problems by program synthesis. We turn questions into programming tasks, automatically generate programs, and then execute them, perfectly solving university-level problems from MIT's large Mathematics courses (Single Variable Calculus 18.01, Multivariable Calculus 18.02, Differential Equations 18.03, Introduction to Probability and Statistics 18.05, Linear Algebra 18.06, and Mathematics for Computer Science 6.042), Columbia University's COMS3251 Computational Linear Algebra course, as well as questions from a MATH dataset (on Prealgebra, Algebra, Counting and Probability, Number Theory, and Precalculus), the latest benchmark of advanced mathematics problems specifically designed to assess mathematical reasoning. We explore prompt generation methods that enable Transformers to generate question solving programs for these subjects, including solutions with plots. We generate correct answers for a random sample of questions in each topic. We quantify the gap between the original and transformed questions and perform a survey to evaluate the quality and difficulty of generated questions. This is the first work to automatically solve, grade, and generate university-level Mathematics course questions at scale. This represents a milestone for higher education.

The most common approaches for solving multistage stochastic programming problems in the research literature have been to either use value functions ("dynamic programming") or scenario trees ("stochastic programming") to approximate the impact of a decision now on the future. By contrast, common industry practice is to use a deterministic approximation of the future which is easier to understand and solve, but which is criticized for ignoring uncertainty. We show that a parameterized version of a deterministic optimization model can be an effective way of handling uncertainty without the complexity of either stochastic programming or dynamic programming. We present the idea of a parameterized deterministic optimization model, and in particular a deterministic lookahead model, as a powerful strategy for many complex stochastic decision problems. This approach can handle complex, high-dimensional state variables, and avoids the usual approximations associated with scenario trees or value function approximations. Instead, it introduces the offline challenge of designing and tuning the parameterization. We illustrate the idea by using a series of application settings, and demonstrate its use in a nonstationary energy storage problem with rolling forecasts.

This thesis reviews numerical optimization methods with machine learning problems in mind. Since machine learning models are highly parametrized, we focus on methods suited for high dimensional optimization. We build intuition on quadratic models to figure out which methods are suited for non-convex optimization, and develop convergence proofs on convex functions for this selection of methods. With this theoretical foundation for stochastic gradient descent and momentum methods, we try to explain why the methods used commonly in the machine learning field are so successful. Besides explaining successful heuristics, the last chapter also provides a less extensive review of more theoretical methods, which are not quite as popular in practice. So in some sense this work attempts to answer the question: Why are the default Tensorflow optimizers included in the defaults?

This course will allow you to become a professional who understands the math on which algorithms are built, rather than someone who applies them blindly without knowing what happens behind the scenes. But let's answer a pressing question you probably have at this point: "What can I expect from this course and how it will help my professional development?" In brief, we will provide you with the theoretical and practical foundations for two fundamental parts of data science and statistical analysis – linear algebra and dimensionality reduction. Linear algebra is often overlooked in data science courses, despite being of paramount importance. Most instructors tend to focus on the practical application of specific frameworks rather than starting with the fundamentals, which leaves you with knowledge gaps and a lack of full understanding.

In time series analysis, when fitting an autoregressive model, one must solve a Toeplitz ordinary least squares problem numerous times to find an appropriate model, which can severely affect computational times with large data sets. Two recent algorithms (LSAR and Repeated Halving) have applied randomized numerical linear algebra (RandNLA) techniques to fitting an autoregressive model to big time-series data. We investigate and compare the quality of these two approximation algorithms on large-scale synthetic and real-world data. While both algorithms display comparable results for synthetic datasets, the LSAR algorithm appears to be more robust when applied to real-world time series data. We conclude that RandNLA is effective in the context of big-data time series.

Mathematics is key to DO. It is dealing with ontological entities but as mathematical objects, as quantities, changes, and relationships (numbers, magnitudes, multitudes, spaces, manifolds) and their functional relationships, as listed below: Number theory: numbers, operations Combinatorics: permutations, derangements, combinations Set theory: sets, set partitions; functions, and relations Geometry: points, lines, line segments, polygons, circles, ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas, polyhedra, spheres, ellipsoids, paraboloids, hyperboloids, cylinders, cones Graph theory: graphs, trees, nodes, edges Topology: topological spaces and manifolds Linear algebra: scalars, vectors, matrices, tensors Abstract algebra: groups, rings, modules, fields, vector spaces, group-theoretic lattices, and order-theoretic lattices Category Theory (a general theory of functions): categories, objects, edges Datalogy, as #DataScience and technology summarized as follows: Easy Architectural Changes: Applying structural changes to relational databases is a cumbersome process. Something as simple as changing a property from being single-valued to multi-valued could mean having to add a new table and foreign key reference to the original table, possibly compromising existing queries to it. With an ontology, you could simply modify the semantic concept underpinning the property.

When 3D animated balls on a computer screen defy certain laws of physics, dogs act in a way that suggests they feel like their eyes are deceiving them. Pet dogs stare for longer and their pupils widen if virtual balls start rolling on their own rather than being set in motion by a collision with another ball. This suggests that the animals are surprised that the balls didn't move the way they had expected them to, says Christoph Völter at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna. "This is the starting point for learning," says Völter. "You have expectations about the environment – regularities in your environment that are connected to physics – and then something happens that doesn't fit. And now you pay attention. And now you try to see what's going on."
