Limits of spectral learning under noise

Learning functional relationships from noisy data is a central problem in scientific inference. Spectral methods approximate unknown functions by expanding them in a basis and estimating the corresponding coefficients from data, but the stability of these coefficients under noise remains poorly understood.

Spectrally Deconfounded Gradient Boosting

arXiv:2607. 09371v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Flexible machine-learning methods can be sensitive to hidden confounding: they may learn associations induced by unobserved confounders rather than stable signals.

Fixed-Gaussian Spectral Algorithms: Minimax Optimal Rates for Misspecified Learning and Transfer

arXiv:2501. 10870v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The principal objective of this work is twofold within nonparametric regression settings: (1) to establish the minimax optimal convergence rates for fixed-bandwidth Gaussian kernel spectral algorithms when the true regression function resides in a Sobolev space, and (2) to apply Gaussian spectral algorithms for achieving robust and adaptive transfer learning under concept shift.

Spectral Graph Neural Networks with Hermite Polynomials: A Comprehensive Study

The paper introduces HermNet, a spectral graph neural network that uses Hermite polynomials for nodewise prediction and normalized propagation, avoiding eigendecomposition or learned bases. It compares HermNet to other complete polynomial bases, examining how coordinate choices affect optimization under limited training. Experiments on synthetic and real data show regimes where HermNet outperforms alternatives, and analyze the impact of calibration, regularization, and training duration on performance.
