Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on "Probability, Stochastic Processes and Machine Learning" aims to discuss the advances at the intersection of probability theory, stochastic processes, machine learning, and their real-world applications. As machine learning has been successfully applied to an increasing number of fields, new challenges arise from applying traditional machine learning approaches to new data structures, such as images, stochastic processes, and high-dimensional signals. This issue aims to collect high-quality research works on the discussion of machine learning on high-dimensional datasets, or datasets which are indexed by time. Both methodologies and successful real-world applications will be appreciated.

In this paper, we develop kernel-based estimators for regression functions under a functional single-index model, applied to censored time series data. By capitalizing on the single-index structure, we reduce the dimensionality of the covariate-response relationship, thereby preserving the ability to capture intricate dependencies while maintaining a relatively parsimonious form. Specifically, our framework utilizes nonparametric kernel estimation within a quasi-association setting to characterize the underlying relationships. Under mild regularity conditions, we demonstrate that these estimators attain both strong uniform consistency and asymptotic normality. Through extensive simulation experiments, we confirm their robust finite-sample performance. Moreover, an empirical examination using intraday Nikkei stock index returns illustrates that the proposed method significantly outperforms traditional nonparametric regression approaches.

The patent serves as a vital component of scientific text, and over time, escalating competition has generated a substantial demand for patent analysis encompassing areas such as company strategy and legal services, necessitating fast, accurate, and easily applicable similarity estimators. At present, conducting natural language processing(NLP) on patent content, including titles, abstracts, etc., can serve as an effective method for estimating similarity. However, the traditional NLP approach has some disadvantages, such as the requirement for a huge amount of labeled data and poor explanation of deep-learning-based model internals, exacerbated by the high compression of patent content. On the other hand, most knowledge-based deep learning models require a vast amount of additional analysis results as training variables in similarity estimation, which are limited due to human participation in the analysis part. Thus, in this research, addressing these challenges, we introduce a novel estimator to enhance the transparency of similarity estimation. This approach integrates a patent’s content with international patent classification (IPC), leveraging bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT), and non-negative matrix factorization (NMF). By integrating these techniques, we aim to improve knowledge discovery transparency in NLP across various IPC dimensions and incorporate more background knowledge into context similarity estimation. The experimental results demonstrate that our model is reliable, explainable, highly accurate, and practically usable. Full article
