Risk Comparisons in Linear Regression: Implicit Regularization Dominates Explicit Regularization

arXiv:2509. 17251v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing theory suggests that for linear regression problems categorized by capacity and source conditions, gradient descent (GD) is always minimax optimal, while both ridge regression and online stochastic gradient descent (SGD) are polynomially suboptimal for certain categories of such problems.

Optimal Regularization for Performative Learning

arXiv:2510. 12249v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In performative learning, the data distribution reacts to the deployed model - for example, because strategic users adapt their features to game it - which creates a more complex dynamic than in classical supervised learning.

A Variational Analysis of Kernel Learning with Learnable Linear Transformations

arXiv:2502. 11665v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The classical kernel ridge regression problem aims to find the best fit for the output $Y$ as a function of the input data $X\in \mathbb{R}^d$, with a fixed choice of regularization term imposed by a given choice of a reproducing kernel Hilbert space, such as a Sobolev space.

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.
