    • Title: Robust Model Averaging Prediction of Longitudinal Response with Ultrahigh-dimensional Covariate
    • Speaker: Professor Dr. Jialiang Li
    • Time: 02:00 PM, Saturday, December 12nd, 2024.
    • Venue: Room C.41, University of Science, VNU-HCM.
      (227 Nguyen Van Cu Street, Ward 4, District 5, Ho Chi Minh City)

Abstract:

Model averaging is an attractive ensemble technique to construct fast and accurate prediction. Despite of having been widely practiced in cross-sectional data analysis, its application to longitudinal data is rather limited so far. We consider model averaging for longitudinal response when the number of covariates is ultrahigh. To this end, we propose a novel two-stage procedure in which variable screening is first conducted and then followed by model averaging. In both stages, a robust rank-based estimation function is introduced to cope with potential outliers and heavy-tailed error distributions, while the longitudinal correlation is modeled by a modified Cholesky decomposition method and properly incorporated to achieve efficiency. Asymptotic properties of our proposed methods are rigorously established, including screening consistency and convergence of the model averaging predictor, with uncertainties in the screening step and selected model set both taken into account. Extensive simulation studies demonstrate that our method outperforms existing competitors, resulting in significant improvements in screening and prediction performance. Finally, we apply our proposed framework to analyze a human microbiome dataset, showing the capability of our procedure in resolving robust prediction using massive metabolites.

  • Title: Attacking Reinforcement Learning Agents via Data Poisoning and How to Defend
  • Abstract:

Bandit algorithms and Reinforcement Learning models have been widely used in many successful applications in the recent years. However, it has been shown that these algorithms are vulnerable against data poisoning attacks, where an Adversary can manipulate the feedback of our Agent, guiding it to learn a suboptimal (or a targeted) behaviour on the long run. In this talk I will discuss the theoretical boundaries of such attacks, such as what the provable necessary and sufficient conditions are for a successful attack against different types of learning agents. I will also discuss a verification based way of defence mechanism against such data poisoning attacks. This talk is a summary of our recent papers published a AAAI 2022, ISCAl 2022, AAMAS 2024, with some new unpublished results.
