Adaptive Iterative Hard Thresholding for Online High-dimensional Quantile Regression

Zitian Zhou, Nan Lin

Online high-dimensional regression requires algorithms that can update sequentially while preserving structural sparsity. We propose \textit{Adaptive Iterative Hard Thresholding (AIHT)}, an online sparse-regression framework that alternates stochastic subgradient updates with adaptively scheduled hard-thresholding steps. The key idea is to separate support discovery from local refinement: early in the learning process, AIHT delays thresholding so that weak but informative coordinates have time to accumulate signal, while later it increases the projection frequency to stabilize the sparse estimator and exploit local curvature. We develop the theory for high-dimensional online quantile regression, a challenging setting in which the loss is nonsmooth and the data may exhibit heterogeneity or heavy-tailed noise. Under restricted curvature and gradient-leakage conditions, AIHT remains in an inflated sparse cone, exhibits a two-phase convergence behavior, and attains logarithmic regret for the sliding-window objective. Simulations for online quantile regression, together with threshold-scheduling ablations, support the proposed mechanism and illustrate its advantage over standard online sparse-learning baselines.

High-dimensional categorical data arise in genetics, biomedicine, and the social sciences, yet visualization tools for such data remain far less developed than those for continuous variables. Existing methods either scale poorly, rely heavily on low-dimensional displays detached…

Deep Shape Regression for Planar Curves with Multimodal Covariates

Manuel Pfeuffer, Roshan Prakash Rane, Hadya Yassin, Kerstin Ritter, Sonja Greven

The shape of a planar curve is the geometric information that remains once translation, rotation, scale and reparametrisation are removed and is of interest in many health applications, e.g. in neuroimaging. We propose a deep shape regression model for open planar curves that adm…

Unveiling Invariant and Transferable Latent Factors Across Heterogeneous Environments via ATLAS

Yihong Gu, Katherine Liao, Tianxi Cai

This paper considers a multi-environment factor model in which high-dimensional covariates are collected from heterogeneous environments, with auxiliary labels available in a subset of these environments. The joint distribution of the covariates may vary across environments, wher…

A Bayesian Framework for Built-in Input Dimension Reduction for Gaussian Process Modeling

Eric Herrison Gyamfi, Emily L. Kang, Bledar A. Konomi, Guang Lin

Gaussian process (GP) modeling is widely used in computational science and engineering. However, fitting a GP to high-dimensional inputs remains challenging due to the curse of dimensionality. While various methods have been proposed to reduce input dimensionality, they typically…

Using binary silver labels in electronic health records-based computable phenotyping algorithms

Shuhe Wang, Matthew T. Slaughter, Jennifer C. Nelson, Brian D. Williamson

Gold-standard phenotype labels are often unavailable at scale in electronic health record (EHR) studies because they require manual chart review. Weakly supervised phenotyping methods instead use silver-standard labels, such as diagnosis-code counts, natural language processing (…
