• Abstract: This paper provides a comprehensive error analysis of learning with vector-valued random features (RF). The theory is developed for RF ridge regression in a fully general infinite-dimensional input-output setting, but nonetheless applies to and improves existing finite-dimensional analyses. In contrast to comparable work in the literature, the approach proposed here relies on a direct analysis of the underlying risk functional and completely avoids the explicit RF ridge regression solution formula in terms of random matrices. This removes the need for concentration results in random matrix theory or their generalizations to random operators. The main results established in this paper include strong consistency of vector-valued RF estimators under model misspecification and minimax optimal convergence rates in the well-specified setting. The parameter complexity (number of random features) and sample complexity (number of labeled data) required to achieve such rates are comparable with Monte Carlo intuition and free from logarithmic factors.

  We show that the test error is well approximated by a closed-form expression that only depends on the feature map eigenvalues. Notably, our approximation guarantee is non-asymptotic, multiplicative, and independent of the feature map dimension.

  We propose a convex formulation with well-established properties for MGGD parameters. The proposed framework is flexible as it combines a variety of regularizations for the precision matrix, the mean and perturbations. Experiments show a more accurate precision and covariance matrix estimation with similar performance for the mean vector parameter.

  We present Simplex Random Features (SimRFs), a new random feature (RF) mechanism for unbiased approximation of the softmax and Gaussian kernels. We prove that SimRFs provide the smallest possible mean square error (MSE) on unbiased estimates of these kernels. We show consistent gains provided by SimRFs in settings including pointwise kernel estimation, nonparametric classification and scalable Transformers.

  This paper uses techniques from Random Matrix Theory to find the ideal training-testing data split for a simple linear regression. It defines "ideal" as satisfying the integrity metric, i.e. the empirical model error is the actual measurement noise. This paper is the first to solve for the training and test size for any model in a way that is truly optimal.
