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.

Online Generalized Sparse Regression: How Does Overparametrization Help?

The paper introduces an online generalized-sparsity-constrained regression framework that addresses key challenges in online sparse regression, such as dynamic regularization, memory usage, and real-time computation. It proposes an efficient online hard‑thresholding algorithm that performs closed‑form updates using only summary statistics, achieving global convergence at optimal statistical rates when the projection set is overparameterized. Numerical experiments show the method consistently outperforms existing alternatives in online cardinality‑constrained linear regression and low‑rank matrix sensing.

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.

CORE-STACK+: Meta-Learning for Deep Stacked Generalization

CORE-STACK+ is a new meta‑learning framework for deep stacked generalization that tackles two key problems in heterogeneous vision ensembles: prediction‑space multicollinearity and calibration collapse. It introduces a four‑step preconditioning pipeline—kernelized redundancy filtering, a lightweight differentiable meta‑feature gate, a spectrum‑adaptive ridge penalty, and a Laplace‑approximate Bayesian blender—to jointly improve conditioning and calibration. Across six vision benchmarks, CORE‑STACK+ boosts accuracy, reduces model count and inference cost, and significantly lowers expected calibration error compared to existing methods.

Autotune: fast, accurate, and automatic tuning parameter selection for Lasso

The paper introduces μs’ autotune, an automatic tuning strategy for the Lasso that optimizes a penalized Gaussian log‑likelihood over regression coefficients and noise standard deviation. Extensive simulations on regression and VAR models show that autotune is faster and yields better generalization and model selection, especially in low signal‑to‑noise regimes. The method also delivers a new noise‑standard‑deviation estimator, a visual diagnostic for sparsity, and is demonstrated on a real‑world financial dataset, with an accompanying R package available on GitHub.
