- 요약In the last few decades, the landscape of machine learning changed drastically with the exponential growth of data in both the number of samples n and features p. Most regression models - the prototypical one being ordinary least squares (OLS) - favor the increase in n as they tend to generalize better. Moreover, the computational cost of large n can be easily ameliorated via distributed computing. However, as p grows, they typically suffer from overfitting, large memory consumptions, and increased computational complexity. The standard approach to tackle the overfitting issue is regularization. Many different regularizations exist today and some notable ones include the ridge, lasso [Friedman et al., 2010], elastic net [Zou and Hastie, 2005], and group lasso [Yuan and Lin, 2006]. The ridge adds the ℓ2penalty ∥β22 to the regression objective while the lasso adds the ℓ1penalty ∥β∥1. The ridge solution typically remains dense, however, the lasso often enjoys sparsity in the solution due to the soft-thresholding property. For this reason, the lasso has gained wide popularity in high-dimensional regression settings where p can be extremely large (sometimes on the order of millions) as the state-of-the-art solvers bypass the aforementioned computational challenges by leveraging this sparsity property. The elastic net is a convex combination of the ridge and the lasso, allowing for a more flexible model. The group lasso adds the (sum of) ℓ2-norm penalties PG g=1 ∥βg∥2 where groups of coefficients βg are separately penalized. This model tends to have group-wise sparse solutions (but typically dense within each non-zero group of coefficients).While the ridge, lasso, and elastic net have been studied carefully both theoretically and empirically, the same cannot be said about the group lasso. We believe a large reason for this phenomenon is the inexistence of a gold-standard package like glmnet [Friedman et al., 2010] for solving the group lasso. In Chapter 2, we propose a novel algorithm to solve the group lasso extremely efficiently and provide an industry-grade package, adelie, available in both Python and R. Our main contribution lies in solving the block update in the block-coordinate descent algorithm, which achieves a quadratic rate of convergence. Moreover, we solve the group lasso problem in full generality, making no assumptions about the structure of the feature matrix Xt hat other solvers impose. Many of the tricks employed in glmnet are naturally carried over to our solver such as warm-starts, active set strategy, and extensions to general convex losses via the proximal quasi-Newton method. In Chapter 3, we propose a heuristic called the pivot rule for discarding features in our algorithm. We often observe extremely fast convergence with the pivot rule especially when p is large, comparable to the state-of-the-art strong rule and significantly faster when there exists high pairwise correlation in the features. The pivot rule is largely motivated by the strong rule and only uses the KKT conditions to derive a robust ranking system of the features to guess the next active features. We use a simple change-point detection algorithm via OLS to automatically make our selection.
