Efficient Minimax Optimal Estimators For Multivariate Convex Regression

no code implementations6 May 2022 Gil Kur, Eli Putterman

We present the first computationally efficient minimax optimal (up to logarithmic factors) estimators for the tasks of (i) $L$-Lipschitz convex regression (ii) $\Gamma$-bounded convex regression under polytopal support.

On the Minimal Error of Empirical Risk Minimization

no code implementations24 Feb 2021 Gil Kur, Alexander Rakhlin

We study the minimal error of the Empirical Risk Minimization (ERM) procedure in the task of regression, both in the random and the fixed design settings.

A bounded-noise mechanism for differential privacy

1 code implementation7 Dec 2020 Yuval Dagan, Gil Kur

We present an asymptotically optimal $(\epsilon,\delta)$ differentially private mechanism for answering multiple, adaptively asked, $\Delta$-sensitive queries, settling the conjecture of Steinke and Ullman [2020].

On Suboptimality of Least Squares with Application to Estimation of Convex Bodies

no code implementations7 Jun 2020 Gil Kur, Alexander Rakhlin, Adityanand Guntuboyina

We develop a technique for establishing lower bounds on the sample complexity of Least Squares (or, Empirical Risk Minimization) for large classes of functions.

Convex Regression in Multidimensions: Suboptimality of Least Squares Estimators

no code implementations3 Jun 2020 Gil Kur, Fuchang Gao, Adityanand Guntuboyina, Bodhisattva Sen

The least squares estimator (LSE) is shown to be suboptimal in squared error loss in the usual nonparametric regression model with Gaussian errors for $d \geq 5$ for each of the following families of functions: (i) convex functions supported on a polytope (in fixed design), (ii) bounded convex functions supported on a polytope (in random design), and (iii) convex Lipschitz functions supported on any convex domain (in random design).

Double descent in the condition number

no code implementations12 Dec 2019 Tomaso Poggio, Gil Kur, Andrzej Banburski

In solving a system of $n$ linear equations in $d$ variables $Ax=b$, the condition number of the $n, d$ matrix $A$ measures how much errors in the data $b$ affect the solution $x$.

Optimality of Maximum Likelihood for Log-Concave Density Estimation and Bounded Convex Regression

no code implementations13 Mar 2019 Gil Kur, Yuval Dagan, Alexander Rakhlin

In this paper, we study two problems: (1) estimation of a $d$-dimensional log-concave distribution and (2) bounded multivariate convex regression with random design with an underlying log-concave density or a compactly supported distribution with a continuous density.

Space lower bounds for linear prediction in the streaming model

no code implementations9 Feb 2019 Yuval Dagan, Gil Kur, Ohad Shamir

We show that fundamental learning tasks, such as finding an approximate linear separator or linear regression, require memory at least \emph{quadratic} in the dimension, in a natural streaming setting.
