A.1 Face experiments For the encoder, we use a resnet-50 backbone followed by projection heads that output pointwise, lower and upper quantile predictions. Each projection head consists of a convolution layer followed by a Leaky-Relu activation and a global average pooling layer. The input to each projection head is the output of the backbone network - a feature map of size 512 4 4 and the output dimension is the number of style dimensions - in the case of the pretrained FFHQ styleGAN2 used in our experiments, this value is 9088. For the generator, we use a FFHQ pretrained styleGAN2 trained to output faces of resolution 1024 1024 obtained from the official implementation. No discriminator is used during training.

For continuing tasks, average cost Markov decision processes have well-documented value and can be solved using efficient algorithms. However, it explicitly assumes that the agent is risk-neutral. In this work, we extend risk-neutral algorithms to accommodate the more general class of dynamic risk measures. Specifically, we propose a relative value iteration (RVI) algorithm for planning and design two model-free Q-learning algorithms, namely a generic algorithm based on the multi-level Monte Carlo method, and an off-policy algorithm dedicated to utility-base shortfall risk measures. Both the RVI and MLMC-based Q-learning algorithms are proven to converge to optimality. Numerical experiments validate our analysis, confirms empirically the convergence of the off-policy algorithm, and demonstrate that our approach enables the identification of policies that are finely tuned to the intricate risk-awareness of the agent that they serve.

Tensor network machine learning models have shown remarkable versatility in tackling complex data-driven tasks, ranging from quantum many-body problems to classical pattern recognitions. Despite their promising performance, a comprehensive understanding of the underlying assumptions and limitations of these models is still lacking. In this work, we focus on the rigorous formulation of their no-free-lunch theorem -- essential yet notoriously challenging to formalize for specific tensor network machine learning models. In particular, we rigorously analyze the generalization risks of learning target output functions from input data encoded in tensor network states. We first prove a no-free-lunch theorem for machine learning models based on matrix product states, i.e., the one-dimensional tensor network states. Furthermore, we circumvent the challenging issue of calculating the partition function for two-dimensional Ising model, and prove the no-free-lunch theorem for the case of two-dimensional projected entangled-pair state, by introducing the combinatorial method associated to the "puzzle of polyominoes". Our findings reveal the intrinsic limitations of tensor network-based learning models in a rigorous fashion, and open up an avenue for future analytical exploration of both the strengths and limitations of quantum-inspired machine learning frameworks.

--The increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in engineering problems calls for the development of calibration methods capable of offering robust statistical reliability guarantees. The calibration of black box AI models is carried out via the optimization of hyperparameters dictating architecture, optimization, and/or inference configuration. Prior work has introduced learn-then-test (L TT), a calibration procedure for hyperparameter optimization (HPO) that provides statistical guarantees on average performance measures. Recognizing the importance of controlling risk-aware objectives in engineering contexts, this work introduces a variant of L TT that is designed to provide statistical guarantees on quantiles of a risk measure. We illustrate the practical advantages of this approach by applying the proposed algorithm to a radio access scheduling problem. A. Motivation and Overview Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly adopted in engineering domains, such as wireless systems [1], as a tool to facilitate design and to reduce implementation complexity.

Machine learning algorithms in healthcare have the potential to continually learn from real-world data generated during healthcare delivery and adapt to dataset shifts. As such, the FDA is looking to design policies that can autonomously approve modifications to machine learning algorithms while maintaining or improving the safety and effectiveness of the deployed models. However, selecting a fixed approval strategy, a priori, can be difficult because its performance depends on the stationarity of the data and the quality of the proposed modifications. To this end, we investigate a learning-to-approve approach (L2A) that uses accumulating monitoring data to learn how to approve modifications. L2A defines a family of strategies that vary in their "optimism''---where more optimistic policies have faster approval rates---and searches over this family using an exponentially weighted average forecaster. To control the cumulative risk of the deployed model, we give L2A the option to abstain from making a prediction and incur some fixed abstention cost instead. We derive bounds on the average risk of the model deployed by L2A, assuming the distributional shifts are smooth. In simulation studies and empirical analyses, L2A tailors the level of optimism for each problem-setting: It learns to abstain when performance drops are common and approve beneficial modifications quickly when the distribution is stable.

We determine your cholesterol ratio by dividing your total cholesterol by your HDL number. For instance, if your total cholesterol is 180 and your HDL is 82, your cholesterol ratio is 2.2. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), you should aim to keep your ratio below 5, with the ideal cholesterol ratio being 3.5. Men According to the Framingham Heart Study, a cholesterol ratio of 5 indicates average risk of heart disease for men. Men have double the risk for heart disease if their ratio reaches 9.6, and they have roughly half the average risk for heart disease with a cholesterol ratio of 3.4.

We prove the strongest known bound for the risk of hypotheses selected from the ensemble generated by running a learning algorithm incrementally on the training data. Our result is based on proof techniques that are remarkably different from the standard risk analysis based on uniform convergence arguments.
