Nonlinear kernels can be approximated using finite-dimensional feature maps for efficient risk minimization. Due to the inherent trade-off between the dimension of the (mapped) feature space and the approximation accuracy, the key problem…
We show that the greedy algorithm for adaptive-submodular cover has approximation ratio at least 1.3*(1+ln Q). Moreover, the instance demonstrating this gap has Q=1. So, it invalidates a prior result in the paper ``Adaptive Submodularity: A…
When developing robust preconditioners for multiphysics problems, fractional functions of the Laplace operator often arise and need to be inverted. Rational approximation in the uniform norm can be used to convert inverting those fractional…
In this article, we present two new greedy algorithms for the computation of the lowest eigenvalue (and an associated eigenvector) of a high-dimensional eigenvalue problem, and prove some convergence results for these algorithms and their…
Rule ensembles are designed to provide a useful trade-off between predictive accuracy and model interpretability. However, the myopic and random search components of current rule ensemble methods can compromise this goal: they often need…
Orthogonal greedy learning (OGL) is a stepwise learning scheme that adds a new atom from a dictionary via the steepest gradient descent and build the estimator via orthogonal projecting the target function to the space spanned by the…
Ranking and selection (R&S) aims to select the best alternative with the largest mean performance from a finite set of alternatives. Recently, considerable attention has turned towards the large-scale R&S problem which involves a large…
Greedy algorithms which use only function evaluations are applied to convex optimization in a general Banach space $X$. Along with algorithms that use exact evaluations, algorithms with approximate evaluations are treated. A priori upper…
We study a linear quadratic regulation problem with a constraint where the control input can be nonzero only at a limited number of times. Given that this constraint leads to a combinational optimization problem, we adopt a greedy method to…
There are two main aims of the paper. The first one is to extend the criterion for the precompactness of sets in Banach function spaces to the setting of quasi-Banach function spaces. The second one is to extend the criterion for the…

This paper introduces and analyzes a stochastic search method for parameter estimation in linear regression models in the spirit of Beran and Millar (1987). The idea is to generate a random finite subset of a parameter space which will…
Is it possible to maximize a monotone submodular function faster than the widely used lazy greedy algorithm (also known as accelerated greedy), both in theory and practice? In this paper, we develop the first linear-time algorithm for…
The problem of column subset selection has recently attracted a large body of research, with feature selection serving as one obvious and important application. Among the techniques that have been applied to solve this problem, the greedy…
We study the problem of estimating a random process from the observations collected by a network of sensors that operate under resource constraints. When the dynamics of the process and sensor observations are described by a state-space…
The paper gives a systematic study of the approximate versions of three greedy-type algorithms that are widely used in convex optimization. By approximate version we mean the one where some of evaluations are made with an error. Importance…
Kernel-based schemes are state-of-the-art techniques for learning by data. In this work we extend some ideas about kernel-based greedy algorithms to exponential-polynomial splines, whose main drawback consists in possible overfitting and…
The subject of this paper is regularity-preserving aggregation of regular norms on finite-dimensional linear spaces. Regular norms were introduced in [5] and are closely related to ``type 2'' spaces [9, Chapter 9] playing important role in…
While learning the maximum likelihood value of parameters of an undirected graphical model is hard, modelling the posterior distribution over parameters given data is harder. Yet, undirected models are ubiquitous in computer vision and text…
The output of Large Language Models (LLMs) are a function of the internal model's parameters and the input provided into the context window. The hypothesis presented here is that under a greedy sampling strategy the variance in the LLM's…
