Risk Bounds of Accelerated SGD for Overparameterized Linear Regression

Xuheng Li, Yihe Deng, Jingfeng Wu +2

Accelerated stochastic gradient descent (ASGD) is a workhorse in deep learning and often achieves better generalization performance than SGD. However, existing optimization theory…

How Many Pretraining Tasks Are Needed for In-Context Learning of Linear Regression?

Jingfeng Wu, Difan Zou, Zixiang Chen +3

Transformers pretrained on diverse tasks exhibit remarkable in-context learning (ICL) capabilities, enabling them to solve unseen tasks solely based on input contexts without adjus…

Private Federated Frequency Estimation: Adapting to the Hardness of the Instance

Jingfeng Wu, Wennan Zhu, Peter Kairouz +1

In federated frequency estimation (FFE), multiple clients work together to estimate the frequencies of their collective data by communicating with a server that respects the privac…

Implicit Bias of Gradient Descent for Logistic Regression at the Edge of Stability

Jingfeng Wu, Vladimir Braverman, Jason D. Lee

Recent research has observed that in machine learning optimization, gradient descent (GD) often operates at the edge of stability (EoS) [Cohen, et al., 2021], where the stepsizes a…

Fixed Design Analysis of Regularization-Based Continual Learning

Haoran Li, Jingfeng Wu, Vladimir Braverman

We consider a continual learning (CL) problem with two linear regression tasks in the fixed design setting, where the feature vectors are assumed fixed and the labels are assumed t…

Finite-Sample Analysis of Learning High-Dimensional Single ReLU Neuron

Jingfeng Wu, Difan Zou, Zixiang Chen +3

This paper considers the problem of learning a single ReLU neuron with squared loss (a.k.a., ReLU regression) in the overparameterized regime, where the input dimension can exceed…
