Convergence analysis of online algorithms for vector-valued kernel regression

From MaRDI portal





This interesting paper presents a detailed convergence analysis of various online algorithms for vector-valued kernel regression. The authors are interested in learning regression functions from noisy vector-valued data using a certain Reproducing Hilbert Space as a prior. The paper provides a comprehensive reference list for background on the theory of kernel methods in particular the vector-valued case and we refer the interested reader to this in the paper. We now make this more mathematically formal. The authors are interested in approximating the regression function say \(g_{\nu}:K\to X\) from noisy \(\nu\)-distributed vector-valued data \((k_m, x_m)\in K\times X\) by an online learning algorithm using a reproducing kernel Hilbert space \(H\) as a prior. Assuming that the regression function essentially belongs to \(H\), the authors establish the following order-optimal estimate: \({\mathcal{E}}\left(||\varepsilon^{(m)}||_H^2\right) \leq C(m+1)^{\frac{-s}{2+s}}\), \(m=1,2,\ldots\) where \(\varepsilon^{(m)}\) denotes the error term after \(m\) processed data, the parameter \(0<s\leq 1\) expresses an additional smoothness assumption on the regression function, and the constant \(C\) depends on the variance of the input noise, the smoothness of the regression function, and other parameters of the algorithm.\N\NThe paper is well written with a good set of references.
