Efficient Group Lasso Regularized Rank Regression with Simulation-Based Tuning

arXiv:2510. 11546v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: High-dimensional regression often suffers from heavy-tailed noise and outliers, which can severely undermine the reliability of least-squares based methods.

Efficient Cross-Validation for Sparse Linear Regression

arXiv:2306. 14851v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Given a high-dimensional covariate matrix and a response vector, ridge-regularized sparse linear regression selects a subset of features that explains the relationship between covariates and the response in an interpretable manner.

A Riemannian Approach to Low-Rank Optimal Transport

arXiv:2606. 12120v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank optimal transport (OT) mitigates the quadratic scaling of classical solvers, yet existing approaches rely heavily on first-order mirror-descent updates that require careful hyperparameter tuning and ignore the optimization landscape's curvature.

Optimization on the Oblique Manifold for Sparse Simplex Constraints via Multiplicative Updates

arXiv:2503. 24075v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Low-rank optimization problems with sparse simplex constraints involve variables that must satisfy nonnegativity, sparsity, and sum-to-1 conditions, making their optimization particularly challenging due to the interplay between low-rank structures and constraints.

Adversarial LassoNet: Robust Feature Selection via Stability-Driven Sparse Learning

arXiv:2607. 03839v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparse feature selection is critical for high-dimensional machine learning, yet traditional $\ell_1$-regularized methods are often brittle under observational noise and spurious correlations, leading to unstable feature supports and degraded generalization.

Robust Learning of a Group DRO Neuron

arXiv:2601. 18115v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study the problem of learning a single neuron under standard squared loss in the presence of arbitrary label noise and group-level distributional shifts, for a broad family of covariate distributions.
