SUMMARY:MLOpt: Lang Liu
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lang Liu\nTitle: Non-Asymptotic Analysis of M-Estimation for Statistical Learning and Inference under Self-Concordance \nAbstract: In this talk\, I discuss the problem of M-estimation for statistical learning and inference. It is well-known from the classical asymptotic theory that the properly centered and normalized estimator has a limiting Gaussian distribution with a sandwich covariance. I first establish a finite-sample bound for the estimator\, characterizing its asymptotic behavior in a non-asymptotic fashion. An important feature of the bound is that its dimension dependency is characterized by the effective dimension — the trace of the limiting sandwich covariance — which can be much smaller than the parameter dimension in some regimes. I then illustrate how the bound can be used to obtain a confidence set whose shape is adapted to the local curvature of the population risk. In contrast to previous work which relied heavily on the strong convexity of the learning objective\, I only assume the Hessian is lower bounded at optimum and allow it to gradually become degenerate. This property is formalized by the notion of self-concordance originating from convex optimization. Finally\, I apply these techniques to semi-parametric estimation and derive state-of-the-art finite-sample bounds for double machine learning and orthogonal statistical learning.

SUMMARY:MLOpt @ UWash: Steve Mussmann
DESCRIPTION:Title: Data pruning via Machine Teaching \nAbstract: In this talk\, I discuss the problem of data pruning: given a fully labeled dataset and a training procedure\, select a subset such that training on that subset yields approximately the same test performance as training on the full dataset. I present our algorithm\, inspired by recent work in machine teaching. Through experimental results and theoretical analysis\, we find that machine teaching is an effective paradigm for data pruning. \nVirtual option available via IFDS mailing list.
