In this work, we study discrete minimizers of the Ginzburg-Landau energy in finite element spaces. Special focus is given to the influence of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter $\kappa$. This parameter is of physical interest as large values can trigger the appearance of vortex lattices. Since the vortices have to be resolved on sufficiently fine computational meshes, it is important to translate the size of $\kappa$ into a mesh resolution condition, which can be done through error estimates that are explicit with respect to $\kappa$ and the spatial mesh width $h$. For that, we first work in an abstract framework for a general class of discrete spaces, where we present convergence results in a problem-adapted $\kappa$-weighted norm. Afterwards we apply our findings to Lagrangian finite elements and a particular generalized finite element construction. In numerical experiments we confirm that our derived $L^2$- and $H^1$-error estimates are indeed optimal in $\kappa$ and $h$.

Classical asymptotic theory for statistical inference usually involves calibrating a statistic by fixing the dimension $d$ while letting the sample size $n$ increase to infinity. Recently, much effort has been dedicated towards understanding how these methods behave in high-dimensional settings, where $d$ and $n$ both increase to infinity together. This often leads to different inference procedures, depending on the assumptions about the dimensionality, leaving the practitioner in a bind: given a dataset with 100 samples in 20 dimensions, should they calibrate by assuming $n \gg d$, or $d/n \approx 0.2$? This paper considers the goal of dimension-agnostic inference; developing methods whose validity does not depend on any assumption on $d$ versus $n$. We introduce an approach that uses variational representations of existing test statistics along with sample splitting and self-normalization to produce a refined test statistic with a Gaussian limiting distribution, regardless of how $d$ scales with $n$. The resulting statistic can be viewed as a careful modification of degenerate U-statistics, dropping diagonal blocks and retaining off-diagonal blocks. We exemplify our technique for some classical problems including one-sample mean and covariance testing, and show that our tests have minimax rate-optimal power against appropriate local alternatives. In most settings, our cross U-statistic matches the high-dimensional power of the corresponding (degenerate) U-statistic up to a $\sqrt{2}$ factor.

The multi-index model with sparse dimension reduction matrix is a popular approach to circumvent the curse of dimensionality in a high-dimensional regression setting. Building on the single-index analysis by Alquier, P. & Biau, G. (Journal of Machine Learning Research 14 (2013) 243-280), we develop a PAC-Bayesian estimation method for a possibly misspecified multi-index model with unknown active dimension and an orthogonal dimension reduction matrix. Our main result is a non-asymptotic oracle inequality, which shows that the estimation method adapts to the active dimension of the model, the sparsity of the dimension reduction matrix and the regularity of the link function. Under a Sobolev regularity assumption on the link function the estimator achieves the minimax rate of convergence (up to a logarithmic factor) and no additional price is paid for the unknown active dimension.

Unsupervised Domain Adaptation Regression (DAR) aims to bridge the domain gap between a labeled source dataset and an unlabelled target dataset for regression problems. Recent works mostly focus on learning a deep feature encoder by minimizing the discrepancy between source and target features. In this work, we present a different perspective for the DAR problem by analyzing the closed-form ordinary least square~(OLS) solution to the linear regressor in the deep domain adaptation context. Rather than aligning the original feature embedding space, we propose to align the inverse Gram matrix of the features, which is motivated by its presence in the OLS solution and the Gram matrix's ability to capture the feature correlations. Specifically, we propose a simple yet effective DAR method which leverages the pseudo-inverse low-rank property to align the scale and angle in a selected subspace generated by the pseudo-inverse Gram matrix of the two domains. We evaluate our method on three domain adaptation regression benchmarks. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance. Our code is available at //github.com/ismailnejjar/DARE-GRAM.

In this paper, we improve the regret bound for online kernel selection under bandit feedback. Previous algorithm enjoys a $O((\Vert f\Vert^2_{\mathcal{H}_i}+1)K^{\frac{1}{3}}T^{\frac{2}{3}})$ expected bound for Lipschitz loss functions. We prove two types of regret bounds improving the previous bound. For smooth loss functions, we propose an algorithm with a $O(U^{\frac{2}{3}}K^{-\frac{1}{3}}(\sum^K_{i=1}L_T(f^\ast_i))^{\frac{2}{3}})$ expected bound where $L_T(f^\ast_i)$ is the cumulative losses of optimal hypothesis in $\mathbb{H}_{i}=\{f\in\mathcal{H}_i:\Vert f\Vert_{\mathcal{H}_i}\leq U\}$. The data-dependent bound keeps the previous worst-case bound and is smaller if most of candidate kernels match well with the data. For Lipschitz loss functions, we propose an algorithm with a $O(U\sqrt{KT}\ln^{\frac{2}{3}}{T})$ expected bound asymptotically improving the previous bound. We apply the two algorithms to online kernel selection with time constraint and prove new regret bounds matching or improving the previous $O(\sqrt{T\ln{K}} +\Vert f\Vert^2_{\mathcal{H}_i}\max\{\sqrt{T},\frac{T}{\sqrt{\mathcal{R}}}\})$ expected bound where $\mathcal{R}$ is the time budget. Finally, we empirically verify our algorithms on online regression and classification tasks.

Balanced and swap-robust minimal trades, introduced in [1], are important for studying the balance and stability of server access request protocols under data popularity changes. Constructions of such trades have so far relied on paired sets obtained through iterative combining of smaller sets that have provable stability guarantees, coupled with exhaustive computer search. Currently, there exists a nonnegligible gap between the resulting total dynamic balance discrepancy and the known theoretical lower bound. We present both new upper and lower bounds on the total service requests discrepancy under limited popularity changes. Our constructive near-optimal approach uses a new class of paired graphs whose vertices are two balanced sets with edges (arcs) that capture the balance and potential balance changes induced by limited-magnitude popularity changes (swaps).

Modern machine learning classifiers often exhibit vanishing classification error on the training set. They achieve this by learning nonlinear representations of the inputs that maps the data into linearly separable classes. Motivated by these phenomena, we revisit high-dimensional maximum margin classification for linearly separable data. We consider a stylized setting in which data $(y_i,{\boldsymbol x}_i)$, $i\le n$ are i.i.d. with ${\boldsymbol x}_i\sim\mathsf{N}({\boldsymbol 0},{\boldsymbol \Sigma})$ a $p$-dimensional Gaussian feature vector, and $y_i \in\{+1,-1\}$ a label whose distribution depends on a linear combination of the covariates $\langle {\boldsymbol \theta}_*,{\boldsymbol x}_i \rangle$. While the Gaussian model might appear extremely simplistic, universality arguments can be used to show that the results derived in this setting also apply to the output of certain nonlinear featurization maps. We consider the proportional asymptotics $n,p\to\infty$ with $p/n\to \psi$, and derive exact expressions for the limiting generalization error. We use this theory to derive two results of independent interest: $(i)$ Sufficient conditions on $({\boldsymbol \Sigma},{\boldsymbol \theta}_*)$ for `benign overfitting' that parallel previously derived conditions in the case of linear regression; $(ii)$ An asymptotically exact expression for the generalization error when max-margin classification is used in conjunction with feature vectors produced by random one-layer neural networks.

High-dimensional data can often display heterogeneity due to heteroscedastic variance or inhomogeneous covariate effects. Penalized quantile and expectile regression methods offer useful tools to detect heteroscedasticity in high-dimensional data. The former is computationally challenging due to the non-smooth nature of the check loss, and the latter is sensitive to heavy-tailed error distributions. In this paper, we propose and study (penalized) robust expectile regression (retire), with a focus on iteratively reweighted $\ell_1$-penalization which reduces the estimation bias from $\ell_1$-penalization and leads to oracle properties. Theoretically, we establish the statistical properties of the retire estimator under two regimes: (i) low-dimensional regime in which $d \ll n$; (ii) high-dimensional regime in which $s\ll n\ll d$ with $s$ denoting the number of significant predictors. In the high-dimensional setting, we carefully characterize the solution path of the iteratively reweighted $\ell_1$-penalized retire estimation, adapted from the local linear approximation algorithm for folded-concave regularization. Under a mild minimum signal strength condition, we show that after as many as $\log(\log d)$ iterations the final iterate enjoys the oracle convergence rate. At each iteration, the weighted $\ell_1$-penalized convex program can be efficiently solved by a semismooth Newton coordinate descent algorithm. Numerical studies demonstrate the competitive performance of the proposed procedure compared with either non-robust or quantile regression based alternatives.

We study the problem of zeroth-order (black-box) optimization of a Lipschitz function $f$ defined on a compact subset $\mathcal X$ of $\mathbb R^d$, with the additional constraint that algorithms must certify the accuracy of their recommendations. We characterize the optimal number of evaluations of any Lipschitz function $f$ to find and certify an approximate maximizer of $f$ at accuracy $\varepsilon$. Under a weak assumption on $\mathcal X$, this optimal sample complexity is shown to be nearly proportional to the integral $\int_{\mathcal X} \mathrm{d}\boldsymbol x/( \max(f) - f(\boldsymbol x) + \varepsilon )^d$. This result, which was only (and partially) known in dimension $d=1$, solves an open problem dating back to 1991. In terms of techniques, our upper bound relies on a packing bound by Bouttier al. (2020) for the Piyavskii-Shubert algorithm that we link to the above integral. We also show that a certified version of the computationally tractable DOO algorithm matches these packing and integral bounds. Our instance-dependent lower bound differs from traditional worst-case lower bounds in the Lipschitz setting and relies on a local worst-case analysis that could likely prove useful for other learning tasks.

When data is collected in an adaptive manner, even simple methods like ordinary least squares can exhibit non-normal asymptotic behavior. As an undesirable consequence, hypothesis tests and confidence intervals based on asymptotic normality can lead to erroneous results. We propose a family of online debiasing estimators to correct these distributional anomalies in least squares estimation. Our proposed methods take advantage of the covariance structure present in the dataset and provide sharper estimates in directions for which more information has accrued. We establish an asymptotic normality property for our proposed online debiasing estimators under mild conditions on the data collection process and provide asymptotically exact confidence intervals. We additionally prove a minimax lower bound for the adaptive linear regression problem, thereby providing a baseline by which to compare estimators. There are various conditions under which our proposed estimators achieve the minimax lower bound. We demonstrate the usefulness of our theory via applications to multi-armed bandit, autoregressive time series estimation, and active learning with exploration.
