Yet does this system of Specified Skilled Workers represent an effort to secure a workforce without making long-term settlement possible? And considering its linkage to a Technical Intern Training Program much criticized for abusive practices, does this change represent real reform? This article examines these and other issues.

forms Kymatio: Scattering Transforms in Python By Published On :: 2020 The wavelet scattering transform is an invariant and stable signal representation suitable for many signal processing and machine learning applications. We present the Kymatio software package, an easy-to-use, high-performance Python implementation of the scattering transform in 1D, 2D, and 3D that is compatible with modern deep learning frameworks, including PyTorch and TensorFlow/Keras. The transforms are implemented on both CPUs and GPUs, the latter offering a significant speedup over the former. The package also has a small memory footprint.

forms Variance Prior Forms for High-Dimensional Bayesian Variable Selection By projecteuclid.org Published On :: Thu, 19 Dec 2019 22:10 EST Gemma E. Moran, Veronika Ročková, Edward I. George. Source: Bayesian Analysis, Volume 14, Number 4, 1091--1119.Abstract: Consider the problem of high dimensional variable selection for the Gaussian linear model when the unknown error variance is also of interest. In this paper, we show that the use of conjugate shrinkage priors for Bayesian variable selection can have detrimental consequences for such variance estimation. Such priors are often motivated by the invariance argument of Jeffreys (1961). Revisiting this work, however, we highlight a caveat that Jeffreys himself noticed; namely that biased estimators can result from inducing dependence between parameters a priori . In a similar way, we show that conjugate priors for linear regression, which induce prior dependence, can lead to such underestimation in the Bayesian high-dimensional regression setting. Following Jeffreys, we recommend as a remedy to treat regression coefficients and the error variance as independent a priori . Using such an independence prior framework, we extend the Spike-and-Slab Lasso of Ročková and George (2018) to the unknown variance case. This extended procedure outperforms both the fixed variance approach and alternative penalized likelihood methods on simulated data. On the protein activity dataset of Clyde and Parmigiani (1998), the Spike-and-Slab Lasso with unknown variance achieves lower cross-validation error than alternative penalized likelihood methods, demonstrating the gains in predictive accuracy afforded by simultaneous error variance estimation. The unknown variance implementation of the Spike-and-Slab Lasso is provided in the publicly available R package SSLASSO (Ročková and Moran, 2017). Full Article
