Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger Convergence Rates for Least-Squares Regression

We consider the optimization of a quadratic objective function whose gradients are only accessible through a stochastic oracle that returns the gradient at any given point plus a zero-mean finite variance random error. We present the first algorithm that achieves jointly the optimal prediction error rates for least-squares regression, both in terms of forgetting the initial conditions in O(1/n)...

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger: A review of “Computational Explorations in Cognitive Neuroscience”

2 Just like the sequel to a successful movie, O'Reilly and Munakata's " Computational Explorations in Cognitive Neuroscience " aims to follow up and expand on the original 1986 " Parallel Distributed Processing " volumes edited by Computational Explorations: Not only does this volume visit many of the problems and paradigms that the original books were focused on (so making Computational Explor...

Inspiratory muscle training in difficult to wean patients: work it harder, make it better, do it faster, makes us stronger

Weaning from prolonged mechanical ventilation is a complex, time-consuming process that involves the loss of force/generating capacity of the inspiratory muscle. In their study 'Inspiratory muscle strength training improves the outcome in failure to wean patients: a randomized trial', Martin and colleagues showed that the use of an inspiratory muscle strength program increased the maximal inspi...

Better, Faster, Stronger: Global Innovation and Trade Liberalization∗

This paper investigates the effect of improved market access on worldwide innovation. Using exogenous changes in tariffs in firms’ export markets during the 1990s, we find a large effect of tariff cuts on innovation as measured by patent data. These effects are not driven by the deterioration of innovation quality, and the results are robust to controlling for changes in the patent system and t...
