On the Self-Penalization Phenomenon in Feature Selection

Michael I. Jordan, Keli Liu, Feng Ruan

We describe an implicit sparsity-inducing mechanism based on minimization over a family of kernels: \begin{equation*} \min_{β, f}~\widehat{\mathbb{E}}[L(Y, f(β^{1/q} \odot X)] + λ_…

A Self-Penalizing Objective Function for Scalable Interaction Detection

Keli Liu, Feng Ruan

We tackle the problem of nonparametric variable selection with a focus on discovering interactions between variables. With variables there are possible order- inter…

Bandit Learning in Decentralized Matching Markets

Lydia T. Liu, Feng Ruan, Horia Mania +1

We study two-sided matching markets in which one side of the market (the players) does not have a priori knowledge about its preferences for the other side (the arms) and is requir…

Is Temporal Difference Learning Optimal? An Instance-Dependent Analysis

Koulik Khamaru, Ashwin Pananjady, Feng Ruan +2

We address the problem of policy evaluation in discounted Markov decision processes, and provide instance-dependent guarantees on the -error under a generative model.…

The Right Complexity Measure in Locally Private Estimation: It is not the Fisher Information

John C. Duchi, Feng Ruan

We identify fundamental tradeoffs between statistical utility and privacy under local models of privacy in which data is kept private even from the statistician, providing instance…
