Nash framework uses neural networks for faster, adaptive regression

Researchers have developed a new framework called Neural Adaptive Shrinkage (Nash) for structured high-dimensional regression problems. Nash integrates covariate-specific side information into sparse regression using neural networks, adaptively tailoring regularization without the need for cross-validation. This approach utilizes a split variational empirical Bayes algorithm, which significantly speeds up computation by reducing neural network passes from O(p) to a single batched pass, achieving a 74 to 106x wall-clock speedup. Experiments show Nash improves accuracy and adaptability over existing methods. AI

    Nash: Neural Adaptive Shrinkage for Structured High-Dimensional Regression

    arXiv:2505.11143v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sparse linear regression is a fundamental tool in data analysis. However, traditional approaches often fall short when covariates exhibit structure or arise from heterogeneous sources. In biomedical applications, covariates may …
