China’s high-speed rail (HSR) has quickly expanded to over 40, 000 km of lines operating and another 10, 000 km under construction. This is over 10-times longer than the networks in long-established HSR countries like France, Germany or Japan. While…
Should We Augment Large Covariance Matrix Estimation with Auxiliary Network Information?

In this paper, we propose two novel frameworks to incorporate auxiliary information about connectivity among entities (i.e., network information) into the estimation of large covariance matrices. The current literature either completely ignores this kind…
Sharp-SSL: Selective high-dimensional axis-aligned random projections for semi-supervised learning
https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:ehl:lserod:122552&r=&r=big
Published: May 20, 2024 00:00
We propose a new method for high-dimensional semi-supervised learning problems based on the careful aggregation of the results of a low-dimensional procedure applied to many axis-aligned random projections of the data. Our primary goal is to identify…
