In high-dimensional and/or non-parametric regression problems, regularization (or penalization) is used to control model complexity and induce desired structure. Each penalty has a weight parameter that indicates how strongly the structure…

Neural networks have seen limited use in prediction for high-dimensional data with small sample sizes, because they tend to overfit and require tuning many more hyperparameters than existing off-the-shelf machine learning methods. With…

Neural networks (NNs) are primarily developed within the frequentist statistical framework. Nevertheless, frequentist NNs lack the capability to provide uncertainties in the predictions, and hence their robustness can not be adequately…

The task of using machine learning to approximate the mapping $\mathbf{x}\mapsto\sum_{i=1}^d x_i^2$ with $x_i\in[-1,1]$ seems to be a trivial one. Given the knowledge of the separable structure of the function, one can design a sparse…
