This paper presents a method for finding a sparse representation of Barron functions. Specifically, given an $L^2$ function $f$, the inverse scale space flow is used to find a sparse measure $\mu$ minimising the $L^2$ loss between the…

Given a unital algebra $\mathscr A$ of locally Lipschitz functions defined over a metric measure space $({\mathrm X},{\mathsf d},\mathfrak m)$, we study two associated notions of function of bounded variation and their relations: the space…

We consider supervised learning problems in which set predictions provide explicit uncertainty estimates. Using Choquet integrals (a.k.a. Lov{\'a}sz extensions), we propose a convex loss function for nondecreasing subset-valued functions…

We consider the problem of fitting a relationship (e.g. a potential scientific law) to data involving multiple variables. Ordinary (least squares) regression is not suitable for this because the estimated relationship will differ according…

Under the linear regression framework, we study the variable selection problem when the underlying model is assumed to have a small number of nonzero coefficients (i.e., the underlying linear model is sparse). Non-convex penalties in…

Sparsity-inducing penalties are useful tools for variable selection and they are also effective for regression settings where the data are functions. We consider the problem of selecting not only variables but also decision boundaries in…
