(Kernel) Ridge Regression: Agnostic View on Overfitting Costs
核心概念
Agnostic analysis of overfitting costs in kernel ridge regression reveals insights into benign, tempered, and catastrophic overfitting scenarios.
要約
The content delves into the cost of overfitting in noisy kernel ridge regression, taking an agnostic view. It explores benign, tempered, and catastrophic overfitting scenarios under a Gaussian universality ansatz. The analysis provides a refined characterization of these types of overfitting based on the sample size and effective ranks of the covariance matrix. The paper also discusses inner-product kernels in the polynomial regime and their implications for generalization performance.
An Agnostic View on the Cost of Overfitting in (Kernel) Ridge Regression
統計
We analyze the cost of overfitting as a ratio using only sample size and effective ranks.
Effective regularization constant κδ is uniquely determined by λi values and sample size n.
The cost of overfitting can be bounded by sample size and effective ranks even with high risk relative to Bayes error.
