Dynamic Valuation of Delinquent Credit Card Accounts

Thomas Alois Weber

This paper introduces a dynamic model of the stochastic repayment behavior exhibited by delinquent creditcard accounts. Based on this model, we construct a dynamic collectability score (DCS) that estimates the account-specific probability of collecting a g ...

Graph Embedded Nonparametric Mutual Information For Supervised Dimensionality Reduction

Nikolaos Arvanitopoulos Darginis

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for dimensionality reduction that uses as a criterion the mutual information (MI) between the transformed data and their cor- responding class labels. The MI is a powerful criterion that can be used as a proxy to ...

Is there a common factor for vision?

Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr, Aaron Michael Clarke

In cognition, common factors play a crucial role. For example, different types of intelligence are highly correlated, pointing to a common factor, which is often called g. One might expect that a similar common factor would also exist for vision. Surprisin ...

What are the Odds? Probabilistic programming in Scala

Tiark Rompf, Nada Amin, Sandro Stucki, Manohar Jonnalagedda

Probabilistic programming is a powerful high-level paradigm for probabilistic modeling and inference. We present Odds, a small domain-specific language (DSL) for probabilistic programming, embedded in Scala. Odds provides first-class support for random var ...

Sequential Group Testing with Graph Constraints

Amin Karbasi, Morteza Zadimoghaddam

In conventional group testing, the goal is to detect a small subset of defecting items

\mathcal{D}

in a large population

\mathcal{N}

by grouping \textit{arbitrary} subset of

\mathcal{N}

into different pools. The result of each group test $\mathcal{T} ...

Group Testing with Probabilistic Tests: Theory, Design and Application

Martin Vetterli, Amin Karbasi, Ali Hormati, Mahdi Cheraghchi Bashi Astaneh

Identification of defective members of large populations has been widely studied in the statistics community under the name of group testing. It involves grouping subsets of items into different pools and detecting defective members based on the set of tes ...

Improved Constructions for Non-adaptive Threshold Group Testing

Mahdi Cheraghchi Bashi Astaneh

The basic goal in combinatorial group testing is to identify a set of up to d defective items within a large population of size n >> d using a pooling strategy. Namely, the items can be grouped together in pools, and a single measurement would reveal wheth ...

A Novel Criterion for Classifiers Combination in Multistream Speech Recognition

Fabio Valente

In this paper we propose a novel information theoretic criterion for optimizing the linear combination of classifiers in multi stream automatic speech recognition. We discuss an objective function that achieves a trade-off between the minimization of a bou ...

Theoretical Analysis of Three Bio-Inspired Plume Tracking Algorithms

Alcherio Martinoli, Thomas Lochmatter

We derive the theoretical performance of three bio-inspired odor source localization algorithms (casting, surge-spiral and surge-cast) in laminar wind flow. Based on the geometry of the trajectories and the wind direction sensor error, we calculate the dis ...
