The choice of the tuning parameter in the Lasso is central to its statistical performance in high-dimensional linear regression. In this work, we study tuning regimes under which the Lasso exhibits suboptimal prediction performance, in the…

I briefly report on some unexpected results that I obtained when optimizing the model parameters of the Lasso. In simulations with varying observations-to-variables ratio n=p, I typically observe a strong peak in the test error curve at the…

In the problem of adaptive compressed sensing, one wants to estimate an approximately $k$-sparse vector $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$ from $m$ linear measurements $A_1 x, A_2 x,\ldots, A_m x$, where $A_i$ can be chosen based on the outcomes $A_1…

Causal variable selection in time-varying treatment settings is challenging due to evolving confounding effects. Existing methods mainly focus on time-fixed exposures and are not directly applicable to time-varying scenarios. We propose a…

We show that variational learning naturally induces an adaptive label smoothing where label noise is specialized for each example. Such label-smoothing is useful to handle examples with labeling errors and distribution shifts, but designing…
