| | Lately I have been making use of a continuous relaxation of discrete random variables proposed in two recent papers: The Concrete Distribution: A Continuous Relaxation of Discrete Random Variables and Categorical Reparameterization with Gumbel-Softmax. I decided to write a blog post with some motivation of the method, as well as providing some minor clarification on...

| | I have already discussed the concept of the quantile absolute deviation in several previous posts. In this post, we derive the equation for the relative statistical efficiency of the quantile absolute deviation against the standard deviation under the norma...

| | 1. Low-rank approximation of matrices Let $latex {A}&fg=000000$ be an arbitrary $latex {n \times m}&fg=000000$ matrix. We assume $latex {n \leq m}&fg=000000$. We consider the problem of approximating $latex {A}&fg=000000$ by a low-rank matrix. For example, we could seek to find a rank $latex {s}&fg=000000$ matrix $latex {B}&fg=000000$ minimizing $latex { \lVert A - B...

| The Langevin algorithm is a simple and powerful method to sample from a probability distribution. It's a key ingredient of some machine learning methods such as diffusion models and differentially private learning. In this post, I'll derive a simple convergence analysis of this method in the special case when the ...
