Functional Data Analysis

Intelligent Data Analysis 2024

The chat-link

The statistical analysis of spatial time series requires additional methods of data analysis. First, we suppose time is continuous, put to the state space changes \(\frac{d\mathbf{x}}{dt}\) and use neural ordinary and stochastic differential equations. Second, we analyze a multivariate and multidimensional time series and use the tensor representation and tensor analysis. Third, since the time series have significant cross-correlation we model them in the Riemannian space. Fourth, medical time series are periodic, the base model is the pendulum model, \(\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-c\sin{x}\). We use physics-informed neural networks to approximate data. Fifth, the practical experiments involve multiple data sources. We use canonical correlation analysis with latent state space. This space aligns the source and target spaces and generates data in source and target manifolds.

Applications

This field of Machine Learning applies to any field where the measurements have continuous time and space data acquired from multimodal sources: climate modeling, neural interfaces, solid-state physics, electronics, fluid dynamics, and many more. We will carefully collect both the theory and its practice.

Your profit

Your goal is to enhance your abilities to deliver messages to the reader in the language of applied mathematics. The main part of your MS thesis work is the theoretical foundations of Machine Learning, where you present your personal results supported by the necessary theory.

Structure of a seminar

The semester has 10 weeks, and five couple of weeks for homework.

• Odd week: introduction to the topic and handout of a theme for the homework.
• Even week: a discussion of the essay, collecting the list of improvements to each essay.
• Odd week: a discussion of the improved essay, putting the essays into a joint structure.

Scoring

Each essay brings one point, and each improvement brings one point. If an easy is perfect, no improvement is required, it counts as one plus one point. The threshold for binary decision is seven points.

The homework

The course gives two credits, so it requires time. The result is a two-page essay. It delivers an introduction to the designated topic. It could be automatically generated or collected from Wikipedia. The main requirement is that you be responsible for each statement of your essay. Each formula is yours.

The essay carries a comprehensive and strict answer to the topic question, illustrative plots are welcome. The result is ready to be compiled in a joint manuscript after Even week. So please use the LaTeX template.

The style is the set theory, algebra, analysis, and Bayesian statistics. Category theory and homotopy theory are welcome.

Requirements for the text and the discussion

1. Comprehensive explanation of the method or the question we discuss
2. Only the principle, no experiments
3. Two-page text (more or less)
4. The reader is a second or third-year student
5. The picture is obligatory
6. However, a brief reference to some deep learning structure is welcome
7. Talk could be a slide or a text itself
8. The list of references with doi
9. Tell how it was generated
10. Observing a gap, put a note about it (to question later)

Style remarks for the essays

Automatic generation of mediocre-quality texts increased requirements for the quality of the new messages. It makes novelty rare and makes the authorship appreciated. But it simplifies the ways of delivering. So since textbook generation has become simple, we will use generative chats to train our skills of reader persuasion. The reader is our MS-thesis defense committee.
