Kernel regression method recovers central subspace in multi-index models

Researchers have developed a method using kernel ridge regression and an Average Gradient Outer Product (AGOP) to identify the underlying low-dimensional structure in data. This technique can recover the central subspace of multi-index models, even when prediction accuracy is still low. The findings demonstrate a separation between prediction and representation, explaining the sample efficiency of iterative kernel methods like Recursive Feature Machines. AI

IMPACT Provides a theoretical explanation for sample efficiency in certain machine learning algorithms, potentially guiding future model development.

    Average Gradient Outer Product in kernel regression provably recovers the central subspace for multi-index models

    We study a prototypical situation when a learned predictor can discover useful low-dimensional structure in data, while using fewer samples than are needed for accurate prediction. Specifically, we consider the problem of recovering a multi-index polynomial $f^*(x)=h(Ux)$, with $…
