There is a well known intrinsic trade-off between the fairness of a representation and the performance of classifiers derived from the representation. In this paper we propose a new method to compute the optimal Pareto front of this trade off. In contrast to the existing methods, this approach does…
We propose a new approach to non-parametric density estimation that is based on regularizing a Sobolev norm of the density. This method is statistically consistent, and makes the inductive bias of the model clear and interpretable. While there is no closed analytic form for the associated kernel, we…
The Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is one of the most widely used statistical models for sequential data analysis. One of the key reasons for this versatility is the ability of HMM to deal with missing data. However, standard HMM learning algorithms rely crucially on the assumption that the positions of…
