We consider the finite sample properties of the regularized high-dimensional Cox regression via lasso. Existing literature focuses on linear models or generalized linear models with Lipschitz loss functions, where the empirical risk functions are the summations of independent and identically distributed (iid) losses. T…
The paper explores MAE as a loss function for DNN vector-to-vector regression, proving its advantages over MSE.
problem Improving loss function for deep neural network based vector-to-vector regression.
method Presenting performance bounds and new properties of MAE, deriving generalized upper bounds, and interpreting MAE as a Laplacian distribution.
result MAE is a more suitable loss function than MSE for DNN based vector-to-vector regression, especially when errors follow a Laplacian distribution.
The study examines generalization bounds for regression and classification tasks on adaptive input domains.
problem Understanding the generalization error in adaptive input domains for regression and classification.
method The analysis considers regression and classification separately, using Lipschitz continuity and 2-norm/0/1 loss for measurement. It also highlights the polynomial relationship between generalization bounds and network parameters.
result Generalization bounds for regression and classification are inversely proportional to a polynomial of the number of parameters, emphasizing the advantages of over-parameterized networks.
In binary classification and regression problems, it is well understood that Lipschitz continuity and smoothness of the loss function play key roles in governing generalization error bounds for empirical risk minimization algorithms. In this paper, we show how these two properties affect generalization error bounds in …
In this work we compute lower Lipschitz bounds of ℓp pooling operators for p=1,2,∞ as well as ℓp pooling operators preceded by half-rectification layers. These give sufficient conditions for the design of invertible neural network layers. Numerical experiments on MNIST and image patches confirm tha…
Maximum likelihood estimation fails to be well-posed in Gaussian process regression.

method Analyzing the conditions under which maximum likelihood estimation is not Lipschitz in the data with respect to the Hellinger distance.
result Maximum likelihood estimation is not well-posed in the noiseless data setting for any Gaussian process with a stationary covariance function whose lengthscale parameter is estimated using maximum likelihood.
We study online prediction of bounded stationary ergodic processes. To do so, we consider the setting of prediction of individual sequences and build a deterministic regression tree that performs asymptotically as well as the best L-Lipschitz constant predictors. Then, we show why the obtained regret bound entails the …

result Invertibility does not reduce the complexity of the estimation problem in terms of the rate.
We introduce multiscale invariant dictionaries to estimate quantum chemical energies of organic molecules, from training databases. Molecular energies are invariant to isometric atomic displacements, and are Lipschitz continuous to molecular deformations. Similarly to density functional theory (DFT), the molecule is re…
