• Abstract summary: We study the large-dimensional behavior of kernel ridge regression (KRR) where the sample size $n asymp dgamma$ for some $gamma > 0$. Our results illustrate that the curves of rate varying along $gamma$ exhibit the periodic plateau behavior and the multiple descent behavior.

• Abstract: Motivated by the studies of neural networks (e.g.,the neural tangent kernel theory), we perform a study on the large-dimensional behavior of kernel ridge regression (KRR) where the sample size $n \asymp d^{\gamma}$ for some $\gamma > 0$. Given an RKHS $\mathcal{H}$ associated with an inner product kernel defined on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d}$, we suppose that the true function $f_{\rho}^{*} \in [\mathcal{H}]^{s}$, the interpolation space of $\mathcal{H}$ with source condition $s>0$. We first determined the exact order (both upper and lower bound) of the generalization error of kernel ridge regression for the optimally chosen regularization parameter $\lambda$. We then further showed that when $0<s\le1$, KRR is minimax optimal; and when $s>1$, KRR is not minimax optimal (a.k.a. he saturation effect). Our results illustrate that the curves of rate varying along $\gamma$ exhibit the periodic plateau behavior and the multiple descent behavior and show how the curves evolve with $s>0$. Interestingly, our work provides a unified viewpoint of several recent works on kernel regression in the large-dimensional setting, which correspond to $s=0$ and $s=1$ respectively.

  Under nonlinear measurements, most prior results are non-uniform, i.e., they hold with high probability for a fixed $mathbfx*$ rather than for all $mathbfx*$ simultaneously. Our framework accommodates GCS with 1-bit/uniformly quantized observations and single index models as canonical examples. We also develop a concentration inequality that produces tighter bounds for product processes whose index sets have low metric entropy.

  Detection of a planted dense subgraph in a random graph is a fundamental statistical and computational problem. We consider detecting the presence of a planted $Gr(ngamma, n-alpha)$ subhypergraph in a $Gr(n, n-beta) hypergraph. Our results are already new in the graph case $r=2$, as we consider the subtle log-density regime where hardness based on average-case reductions is not known.
