FCOM: A Federated Collaborative Online Monitoring Framework via Representation Learning

AAAI 2025technical

Monitoring a large population of dynamic processes with limited resources presents a significant challenge across various industrial sectors. This is due to 1) the inherent disparity between the available monitoring resources and the extensive number of processes to be monitored and 2) the unpredict…

Inv-Entropy: A Fully Probabilistic Framework for Uncertainty Quantification in Language Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

Large language models (LLMs) have transformed natural language processing, but their reliable deployment requires effective uncertainty quantification (UQ). Existing UQ methods are often heuristic and lack a fully probabilistic foundation. This paper begins by providing a theoretical justification f…

Personalized Dictionary Learning for Heterogeneous Datasets

NeurIPS 2023poster

We introduce a relevant yet challenging problem named Personalized Dictionary Learning (PerDL), where the goal is to learn sparse linear representations from heterogeneous datasets that share some commonality. In PerDL, we model each dataset's shared and unique features as global and local dictionar…

Stochastic Gradient Descent in Correlated Settings: A Study on Gaussian Processes

NeurIPS 2020poster

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and its variants have established themselves as the go-to algorithms for large-scale machine learning problems with independent samples due to their generalization performance and intrinsic computational advantage. However, the fact that the stochastic gradient is a…

Why Non-myopic Bayesian Optimization is Promising and How Far Should We Look-ahead? A Study via Rollout

AISTATS 2020poster

Lookahead, also known as non-myopic, Bayesian optimization (BO) aims to find optimal sampling policies through solving a dynamic programming (DP) formulation that maximizes a long-term reward over a rolling horizon. Though promising, lookahead BO faces the risk of error propagation through its incre…
