ConquerNet smooths quantile regression for deep learning with minimax guarantees

Researchers have introduced ConquerNet, a novel neural network architecture designed to address optimization challenges in quantile regression. This new class of networks utilizes convolution-smoothed quantile ReLU units to create smoother objectives while maintaining the integrity of the quantile structure. The paper establishes theoretical guarantees and demonstrates through numerical studies that ConquerNet surpasses standard quantile neural networks in estimation accuracy and training efficiency, particularly for extreme quantiles.
