提出新算法,更快收敛且在更弱条件下实现更优在线稀疏回归性能

A Polynomial-time Algorithm for Online Sparse Linear Regression with Improved Regret Bound under Weaker Conditions

  • 基于改进的采样与自适应调参,结合批量牛顿步提升估计精度
  • 在兼容性条件下实现更优遗憾界,$ ilde{O}( rac{keta^2}{ ho} ext{polylog}(d))$
  • 适合高维数据中资源受限的在线学习场景,如实时推荐系统

本文研究在线稀疏线性回归(OSLR)问题,即每次预测仅能访问 $d$ 个特征中的 $k$ 个,该问题已被证明是 NP 难。此前工作在特征线性独立、兼容性条件或限制等距性质下给出多项式时间算法。本文提出一种新多项式时间算法,在比前两种假设更弱的兼容性条件下,显著改进了先前遗憾界(Ito et al., 2017)。性能提升源于对 $oldsymbol{ heta}$ 的 $oldsymbol{ ext{l}_1}$-范数误差更紧的收敛率。算法借鉴经典 Dantzig Selector,引入三类创新技术:依赖于算法的协方差矩阵采样方案、自适应参数调节机制、以及带精心初始化的批处理在线牛顿步。我们还提出了新颖且非平凡的分析方法,包括用于 $oldsymbol{ ext{l}_1}$-误差分析的归纳法、对非独立随机变量协方差的精细分析,以及对遗憾的分解。此外,将算法扩展至可额外观测 $k_0$ 个特征的 OSLR 场景,并进一步改进了之前遗憾界(Kale et al., 2017;Ito et al., 2017)。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In this paper, we study the problem of online sparse linear regression (OSLR) where the algorithms are restricted to accessing only $k$ out of $d$ attributes per instance for prediction, which was proved to be NP-hard. Previous work gave polynomial-time algorithms assuming the data matrix satisfies the linear independence of features, the compatibility condition, or the restricted isometry property. We introduce a new polynomial-time algorithm, which significantly improves previous regret bounds (Ito et al., 2017) under the compatibility condition that is weaker than the other two assumptions. The improvements benefit from a tighter convergence rate of the $\ell_1$-norm error of our estimators. Our algorithm leverages the well-studied Dantzig Selector, but importantly with several novel techniques, including an algorithm-dependent sampling scheme for estimating the covariance matrix, an adaptive parameter tuning scheme, and a batching online Newton step with careful initializations. We also give novel and non-trivial analyses, including an induction method for analyzing the $\ell_1$-norm error, careful analyses on the covariance of non-independent random variables, and a decomposition on the regret. We further extend our algorithm to OSLR with additional observations where the algorithms can observe additional $k_0$ attributes after each prediction, and improve previous regret bounds (Kale et al., 2017; Ito et al., 2017).
