Rate distortion theory is concerned with optimally encoding a given signal class $mathcal{S}$ using a budget of $R$ bits, as $Rtoinfty$. We say that $mathcal{S}$ can be compressed at rate $s$ if we can achieve an error of $mathcal{O}(R^{-s})$ for encoding $mathcal{S}$; the supremal compression rate is denoted $s^ast(mathcal{S})$. Given a fixed coding scheme, there usually are elements of $mathcal{S}$ that are compressed at a higher rate than $s^ast(mathcal{S})$ by the given coding scheme; we study the size of this set of signals. We show that for certain nice signal classes $mathcal{S}$, a phase transition occurs: We construct a probability measure $mathbb{P}$ on $mathcal{S}$ such that for every coding scheme $mathcal{C}$ and any $s >s^ast(mathcal{S})$, the set of signals encoded with error $mathcal{O}(R^{-s})$ by $mathcal{C}$ forms a $mathbb{P}$-null-set. In particular our results apply to balls in Besov and Sobolev spaces that embed compactly into $L^2(Omega)$ for a bounded Lipschitz domain $Omega$. As an application, we show that several existing sharpness results concerning function approximation using deep neural networks are generically sharp. We also provide quantitative and non-asymptotic bounds on the probability that a random $finmathcal{S}$ can be encoded to within accuracy $varepsilon$ using $R$ bits. This result is applied to the problem of approximately representing $finmathcal{S}$ to within accuracy $varepsilon$ by a (quantized) neural network that is constrained to have at most $W$ nonzero weights and is generated by an arbitrary learning procedure. We show that for any $s >s^ast(mathcal{S})$ there are constants $c,C$ such that, no matter how we choose the learning procedure, the probability of success is bounded from above by $minbig{1,2^{Ccdot Wlceillog_2(1+W)rceil^2 -ccdotvarepsilon^{-1/s}}big}$.

Rate-Distortion Optimized Quantization (RDOQ) has played an important role in the coding performance of recent video compression standards such as H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, VP9 and AV1. This scheme yields significant reductions in bit-rate at the expens e of relatively small increases in distortion. Typically, RDOQ algorithms are prohibitively expensive to implement on real-time hardware encoders due to their sequential nature and their need to frequently obtain entropy coding costs. This work addresses this limitation using a neural network-based approach, which learns to trade-off rate and distortion during offline supervised training. As these networks are based solely on standard arithmetic operations that can be executed on existing neural network hardware, no additional area-on-chip needs to be reserved for dedicated RDOQ circuitry. We train two classes of neural networks, a fully-convolutional network and an auto-regressive network, and evaluate each as a post-quantization step designed to refine cheap quantization schemes such as scalar quantization (SQ). Both network architectures are designed to have a low computational overhead. After training they are integrated into the HM 16.20 implementation of HEVC, and their video coding performance is evaluated on a subset of the H.266/VVC SDR common test sequences. Comparisons are made to RDOQ and SQ implementations in HM 16.20. Our method achieves 1.64% BD-rate savings on luminosity compared to the HM SQ anchor, and on average reaches 45% of the performance of the iterative HM RDOQ algorithm.
Click-through rate (CTR) estimation plays as a core function module in various personalized online services, including online advertising, recommender systems, and web search etc. From 2015, the success of deep learning started to benefit CTR estimat ion performance and now deep CTR models have been widely applied in many industrial platforms. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive review of deep learning models for CTR estimation tasks. First, we take a review of the transfer from shallow to deep CTR models and explain why going deep is a necessary trend of development. Second, we concentrate on explicit feature interaction learning modules of deep CTR models. Then, as an important perspective on large platforms with abundant user histories, deep behavior models are discussed. Moreover, the recently emerged automated methods for deep CTR architecture design are presented. Finally, we summarize the survey and discuss the future prospects of this field.
Deep learning has been the engine powering many successes of data science. However, the deep neural network (DNN), as the basic model of deep learning, is often excessively over-parameterized, causing many difficulties in training, prediction and int erpretation. We propose a frequentist-like method for learning sparse DNNs and justify its consistency under the Bayesian framework: the proposed method could learn a sparse DNN with at most $O(n/log(n))$ connections and nice theoretical guarantees such as posterior consistency, variable selection consistency and asymptotically optimal generalization bounds. In particular, we establish posterior consistency for the sparse DNN with a mixture Gaussian prior, show that the structure of the sparse DNN can be consistently determined using a Laplace approximation-based marginal posterior inclusion probability approach, and use Bayesian evidence to elicit sparse DNNs learned by an optimization method such as stochastic gradient descent in multiple runs with different initializations. The proposed method is computationally more efficient than standard Bayesian methods for large-scale sparse DNNs. The numerical results indicate that the proposed method can perform very well for large-scale network compression and high-dimensional nonlinear variable selection, both advancing interpretable machine learning.

We develop a new theoretical framework to analyze the generalization error of deep learning, and derive a new fast learning rate for two representative algorithms: empirical risk minimization and Bayesian deep learning. The series of theoretical anal yses of deep learning has revealed its high expressive power and universal approximation capability. Although these analyses are highly nonparametric, existing generalization error analyses have been developed mainly in a fixed dimensional parametric model. To compensate this gap, we develop an infinite dimensional model that is based on an integral form as performed in the analysis of the universal approximation capability. This allows us to define a reproducing kernel Hilbert space corresponding to each layer. Our point of view is to deal with the ordinary finite dimensional deep neural network as a finite approximation of the infinite dimensional one. The approximation error is evaluated by the degree of freedom of the reproducing kernel Hilbert space in each layer. To estimate a good finite dimensional model, we consider both of empirical risk minimization and Bayesian deep learning. We derive its generalization error bound and it is shown that there appears bias-variance trade-off in terms of the number of parameters of the finite dimensional approximation. We show that the optimal width of the internal layers can be determined through the degree of freedom and the convergence rate can be faster than $O(1/sqrt{n})$ rate which has been shown in the existing studies.
In the context of lossy compression, Blau & Michaeli (2019) adopt a mathematical notion of perceptual quality and define the information rate-distortion-perception function, generalizing the classical rate-distortion tradeoff. We consider the notion of universal representations in which one may fix an encoder and vary the decoder to achieve any point within a collection of distortion and perception constraints. We prove that the corresponding information-theoretic universal rate-distortion-perception function is operationally achievable in an approximate sense. Under MSE distortion, we show that the entire distortion-perception tradeoff of a Gaussian source can be achieved by a single encoder of the same rate asymptotically. We then characterize the achievable distortion-perception region for a fixed representation in the case of arbitrary distributions, identify conditions under which the aforementioned results continue to hold approximately, and study the case when the rate is not fixed in advance. This motivates the study of practical constructions that are approximately universal across the RDP tradeoff, thereby alleviating the need to design a new encoder for each objective. We provide experimental results on MNIST and SVHN suggesting that on image compression tasks, the operational tradeoffs achieved by machine learning models with a fixed encoder suffer only a small penalty when compared to their variable encoder counterparts.
