Adaptive online kernel changepoint detection

We propose an adaptive online kernel-based changepoint detection method for streaming data that is capable of detecting a broad range of changes in the underlying data distribution. The method maintains a recursively-weighted reproducing kernel Hilbert space representation of observations and adaptively updates the forgetting factor through a gradient-based procedure driven by a maximum mean discrepancy-type statistic between the current observation and the weighted empirical distribution of the past. This self-tuning mechanism allows the detector to adapt its effective memory and responsiveness to changes in the underlying process. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves strong detection performance across a wide range of distributional changes. Further, our proposed approach maintains constant computational and storage cost through recursive updates, and is very computationally efficient in comparison to competing methods. Experiments on both simulated data and benchmark real-world datasets show improved performance over several other leading kernel-based methods.

Machine learning for early prediction of circulatory failure in the intensive care unit

Intensive care clinicians are presented with large quantities of patient information and measurements from a multitude of monitoring systems. The limited ability of humans to process such complex information hinders physicians to readily recognize and act on early signs of patient deterioration. We used machine learning to develop an early warning system for circulatory failure based on a high-resolution ICU database with 240 patient years of data. This automatic system predicts 90.0% of circulatory failure events (prevalence 3.1%), with 81.8% identified more than two hours in advance, resulting in an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 94.0% and area under the precision-recall curve of 63.0%. The model was externally validated in a large independent patient cohort.

Searching for significant patterns in stratified data

Significant pattern mining, the problem of finding itemsets that are significantly enriched in one class of objects, is statistically challenging, as the large space of candidate patterns leads to an enormous multiple testing problem. Recently, the concept of testability was proposed as one approach to correct for multiple testing in pattern mining while retaining statistical power. Still, these strategies based on testability do not allow one to condition the test of significance on the observed covariates, which severely limits its utility in biomedical applications. Here we propose a strategy and an efficient algorithm to perform significant pattern mining in the presence of categorical covariates with K states.

An introduction to exotic 4-manifolds

This article intends to provide an introduction to the construction of small exotic 4-manifolds. Some of the necessary background is covered. An exposition is given of J. Park's construction in arXiv:math.GT/0311395 of an exotic CP^2#7(-CP^2). This article does not intend to present any new results. It was originally a Master's thesis, and its aim is merely to provide a leisurely introduction to exotic 4-manifolds that might be of use to interested graduate students.
