Fixed-Gaussian Spectral Algorithms: Minimax Optimal Rates for Misspecified Learning and Transfer
arXiv:2501.10870v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The principal objective of this work is twofold within nonparametric regression settings: (1) to establish the minimax optimal convergence rates for fixed-bandwidth Gaussian kernel spectral algorithms when the true regression function resides in a Sobolev space, and (2) to apply Gaussian spectral algorithms for achieving robust and adaptive transfer learning under concept shift. While minimax optimality of misspecified spectral algorithms has been established, existing guarantees are typically restricted to the non-saturation regime. We
This research builds on recent advances in theoretical machine learning, specifically addressing long-standing gaps in minimax optimality for misspecified spectral algorithms in nonparametric regression.
Improved theoretical guarantees for fixed-bandwidth Gaussian kernel spectral algorithms can lead to more robust, efficient, and reliable AI models, particularly in complex and adaptive learning environments.
The development of minimax optimal rates for misspecified learning and robust transfer learning under concept shift enhances the foundation for next-generation AI model development, improving performance and adaptability.
