We theoretically investigate the convergence rate and support consistency (i.e., correctly identifying the subset of non-zero coefficients in the large sample limit) of multiple kernel learning (MKL). We focus on MKL with block-l1 regularization (inducing sparse kernel combination), block-l2 regularization (inducing un…
ARGEN method improves variable selection and regularization in high-dimensional sparse models.
We investigate the learning rate of multiple kernel leaning (MKL) with elastic-net regularization, which consists of an -regularizer for inducing the sparsity and an -regularizer for controlling the smoothness. We focus on a sparse setting where the total number of kernels is large but the number of non…
Due to the advantage of achieving a better performance under weak regularization, elastic net has attracted wide attention in statistics, machine learning, bioinformatics, and other fields. In particular, a variation of the elastic net, adaptive elastic net (AEN), integrates the adaptive grouping effect. In this paper,…
Within the framework of statistical learning theory we analyze in detail the so-called elastic-net regularization scheme proposed by Zou and Hastie for the selection of groups of correlated variables. To investigate on the statistical properties of this scheme and in particular on its consistency properties, we set up …
FedElasticNet reduces communication costs and handles client drift in FL.
Multiple kernel learning (MKL), structured sparsity, and multi-task learning have recently received considerable attention. In this paper, we show how different MKL algorithms can be understood as applications of either regularization on the kernel weights or block-norm-based regularization, which is more common in str…
Renet improves Elastic Net by dynamically selecting between convex blending and refitting, enhancing prediction accuracy.
State-of-the-art subspace clustering methods are based on expressing each data point as a linear combination of other data points while regularizing the matrix of coefficients with , or nuclear norms. regularization is guaranteed to give a subspace-preserving affinity (i.e., there are no conne…

We study a sparse negative binomial regression (NBR) for count data by showing the non-asymptotic advantages of using the elastic-net estimator. Two types of oracle inequalities are derived for the NBR's elastic-net estimates by using the Compatibility Factor Condition and the Stabil Condition. The second type of oracl…
It is well known that the out-of-sample performance of Markowitz's mean-variance portfolio criterion can be negatively affected by estimation errors in the mean and covariance. In this paper we address the problem by regularizing the mean-variance objective function with a weighted elastic net penalty. We show that the…

We formulate efficient block coordinate descent algorithm and …
In this paper we combine two important extensions of ordinary least squares regression: regularization and optimal scaling. Optimal scaling (sometimes also called optimal scoring) has originally been developed for categorical data, and the process finds quantifications for the categories that are optimal for the regres…
This paper provides theoretical guarantees for SPCA using the Elastic Net.
Recent studies have highlighted the vulnerability of deep neural networks (DNNs) to adversarial examples - a visually indistinguishable adversarial image can easily be crafted to cause a well-trained model to misclassify. Existing methods for crafting adversarial examples are based on and distortion me…
We empirically investigate the best trade-off between sparse and uniformly-weighted multiple kernel learning (MKL) using the elastic-net regularization on real and simulated datasets. We find that the best trade-off parameter depends not only on the sparsity of the true kernel-weight spectrum but also on the linear dep…

We develop an approximate formula for evaluating a cross-validation estimator of predictive likelihood for multinomial logistic regression regularized by an -norm. This allows us to avoid repeated optimizations required for literally conducting cross-validation; hence, the computational time can be significantl…

We derive a novel norm that corresponds to the tightest convex relaxation of sparsity combined with an penalty. We show that this new {\em -support norm} provides a tighter relaxation than the elastic net and is thus a good replacement for the Lasso or the elastic net in sparse prediction problems. Through …
