A Geometric Analysis of PCA
Ayoub El Hanchi, Murat Erdogdu, Chris Maddison
What property of the data distribution determines the excess risk of principal component analysis? In this paper, we provide a precise answer to this question. We establish a centr…
On the Efficiency of ERM in Feature Learning
Ayoub El Hanchi, Chris J. Maddison, Murat A. Erdogdu
Given a collection of feature maps indexed by a set , we study the performance of empirical risk minimization (ERM) on regression problems with square loss over the un…
Minimax Linear Regression under the Quantile Risk
Ayoub El Hanchi, Chris J. Maddison, Murat A. Erdogdu
We study the problem of designing minimax procedures in linear regression under the quantile risk. We start by considering the realizable setting with independent Gaussian noise, w…
Optimal Excess Risk Bounds for Empirical Risk Minimization on -Norm Linear Regression
Ayoub El Hanchi, Murat A. Erdogdu
We study the performance of empirical risk minimization on the -norm linear regression problem for . We show that, in the realizable case, under no moment ass…
