This document describes the R package UBL that allows the use of several methods for handling utility-based learning problems. Classification and regression problems that assume non-uniform costs and/or benefits pose serious challenges to predictive analytic tasks. In the context of meteorology, finance, medicine, ecology, among many other, specific domain information concerning the preference bias of the users must be taken into account to enhance the models predictive performance. To deal with this problem, a large number of techniques was proposed by the research community for both classification and regression tasks. The main goal of UBL package is to facilitate the utility-based predictive analytic task by providing a set of methods to deal with this type of problems in the R environment. It is a versatile tool that provides mechanisms to handle both regression and classification (binary and multiclass) tasks. Moreover, UBL package allows the user to specify his domain preferences, but it also provides some automatic methods that try to infer those preference bias from the domain, considering some common known settings.

In (Franceschi et al., 2018) we proposed a unified mathematical framework, grounded on bilevel programming, that encompasses gradient-based hyperparameter optimization and meta-learning. We formulated an approximate version of the problem where the i nner objective is solved iteratively, and gave sufficient conditions ensuring convergence to the exact problem. In this work we show how to optimize learning rates, automatically weight the loss of single examples and learn hyper-representations with Far-HO, a software package based on the popular deep learning framework TensorFlow that allows to seamlessly tackle both HO and ML problems.
Common Spacial Patterns (CSP) is a widely used method to analyse electroencephalography (EEG) data, concerning the supervised classification of brains activity. More generally, it can be useful to distinguish between multivariate signals recorded dur ing a time span for two different classes. CSP is based on the simultaneous diagonalization of the average covariance matrices of signals from both classes and it allows to project the data into a low-dimensional subspace. Once data are represented in a low-dimensional subspace, a classification step must be carried out. The original CSP method is based on the Euclidean distance between signals and here, we extend it so that it can be applied on any appropriate distance for data at hand. Both, the classical CSP and the new Distance-Based CSP (DB-CSP) are implemented in an R package, called dbcsp.
Process data refer to data recorded in the log files of computer-based items. These data, represented as timestamped action sequences, keep track of respondents response processes of solving the items. Process data analysis aims at enhancing educatio nal assessment accuracy and serving other assessment purposes by utilizing the rich information contained in response processes. The R package ProcData presented in this article is designed to provide tools for processing, describing, and analyzing process data. We define an S3 class proc for organizing process data and extend generic methods summary and print for class proc. Two feature extraction methods for process data are implemented in the package for compressing information in the irregular response processes into regular numeric vectors. ProcData also provides functions for fitting and making predictions from a neural-network-based sequence model. These functions call relevant functions in package keras for constructing and training neural networks. In addition, several response process generators and a real dataset of response processes of the climate control item in the 2012 Programme for International Student Assessment are included in the package.

Matrix and tensor operations form the basis of a wide range of fields and applications, and in many cases constitute a substantial part of the overall computational complexity. The ability of general-purpose GPUs to speed up many of these operations and enable others has resulted in a widespread adaptation of these devices. In order for tensor operations to take full advantage of the computational power, specialized software is required, and currently there exist several packages (predominantly in the area of deep learning) that incorporate tensor operations on both CPU and GPU. Nevertheless, a stand-alone framework that supports general tensor operations is still missing. In this paper we fill this gap and propose the Ocean Tensor Library: a modular tensor-support package that is designed to serve as a foundational layer for applications that require dense tensor operations on a variety of device types. The API is carefully designed to be powerful, extensible, and at the same time easy to use. The package is available as open source.

We present OGRe, a modern Mathematica package for tensor calculus, designed to be both powerful and user-friendly. The package can be used in a variety of contexts where tensor calculations are needed, in both mathematics and physics, but it is espec ially suitable for general relativity. By implementing an object-oriented design paradigm, OGRe allows calculating arbitrarily complicated tensor formulas easily, and automatically transforms between index configurations and coordinate systems behind the scenes as needed, eliminating user errors by making it impossible for the user to combine tensors in inconsistent ways. Other features include displaying tensors in various forms, automatic calculation of curvature tensors and geodesic equations, easy importing and exporting of tensors between sessions, optimized algorithms and parallelization for improved performance, and more.
