We prove an L2 recovery bound for a family of sparse estimators defined as minimizers of some empirical loss functions -- which include hinge loss and logistic loss. More precisely, we achieve an upper-bound for coefficients estimation…

We propose a general method for optimization with semi-infinite constraints that involve a linear combination of functions, focusing on the case of the exponential function. Each function is lower and upper bounded on sub-intervals by…

We analyze the optimization landscape of a recently introduced tunable class of loss functions called $\alpha$-loss, $\alpha \in (0,\infty]$, in the logistic model. This family encapsulates the exponential loss ($\alpha = 1/2$), the…

To address functional-output regression, we introduce projection learning (PL), a novel dictionary-based approach that learns to predict a function that is expanded on a dictionary while minimizing an empirical risk based on a functional…

Multiplicative logarithmic corrections frequently characterize critical behaviour in statistical physics. Here, a recently proposed theory relating the exponents of such terms is extended to account for circumstances which often occur when…

In this paper, we consider nonconvex optimization problems with nonlinear equality constraints. We assume that the objective function and the functional constraints are locally smooth. To solve this problem, we introduce a linearized…

Linear regression is often deemed inherently interpretable; however, challenges arise for high-dimensional data. We focus on further understanding how linear regression approximates nonlinear responses from high-dimensional functional data,…

Barrier methods play a central role in the theory and practice of convex optimization. One of the most general and successful analyses of barrier methods for convex optimization, due to Nesterov and Nemirovskii, relies on the notion of…

It has previously been shown that ordinary least squares can be used to estimate the coefficients of the single-index model under only mild conditions. However, the estimator is non-robust leading to poor estimates for some models. In this…

In this paper, we propose a coupled tensor norm regularization that could enable the model output feature and the data input to lie in a low-dimensional manifold, which helps us to reduce overfitting. We show this regularization term is…

Sliced inverse regression (Duan and Li [Ann. Statist. 19 (1991) 505-530], Li [J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 86 (1991) 316-342]) is an appealing dimension reduction method for regression models with multivariate covariates. It has been extended…

The paper revisits the $\alpha$--regression framework for compositional data. The model uses a flexible power transformation parameterized by $\alpha$ to interpolate between raw data analysis and log--ratio methods, naturally handling zeros…

We examine gradient descent on unregularized logistic regression problems, with homogeneous linear predictors on linearly separable datasets. We show the predictor converges to the direction of the max-margin (hard margin SVM) solution. The…

Recent work across many machine learning disciplines has highlighted that standard descent methods, even without explicit regularization, do not merely minimize the training error, but also exhibit an implicit bias. This bias is typically…
