Rearrangement Correlation: First Principle Thinking to capture Non-linear Relationships?

Couple of weeks ago, I was hunting for a non-linear association measure for a use case I was working on. That’s when I came across this paper that introduces "Rearrangement Correlation." It provides a fresh take on the tried-and-tested Pearson's r. I couldn't use the result for my specific problem. Nonetheless, the paper is a pretty … Continue reading Rearrangement Correlation: First Principle Thinking to capture Non-linear Relationships?

Finally a good start for the foundational models for timeseries?

Plot twist: It is Chronos by AWS Supply Chain Optimization Technology (SCOT). NeurIPS 2023 saw a proliferation of papers on the applicability of LLMs in time series forecasting. Some of the papers were so bad that I seriously have started (and continue to do so) questioning the review process of NeurIPS. Seeing that particular trend, … Continue reading Finally a good start for the foundational models for timeseries?

Randomized SVD with Power Iterations for Large Data Matrices

What is Randomized SVD? Few days ago, I happened to come across a question in a forum. Someone was asking for help about how to perform singular value decomposition (SVD) on an extremely large matrix. To sum up, the question was roughly something like following "I have a matrix of size 271520*225. I want to … Continue reading Randomized SVD with Power Iterations for Large Data Matrices
