TLDR
Theoretical results show that the proposed efficient algorithm for L1 regularized logistic regression is guaranteed to converge to the global optimum, and experiments show that it significantly outperforms standard algorithms for solving convex optimization problems.Abstract:
L1 regularized logistic regression is now a workhorse of machine learning: it is widely used for many classification problems, particularly ones with many features. L1 regularized logistic regression requires solving a convex optimization problem. However, standard algorithms for solving convex optimization problems do not scale well enough to handle the large datasets encountered in many practical settings. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for L1 regularized logistic regression. Our algorithm iteratively approximates the objective function by a quadratic approximation at the current point, while maintaining the L1 constraint. In each iteration, it uses the efficient LARS (Least Angle Regression) algorithm to solve the resulting L1 constrained quadratic optimization problem. Our theoretical results show that our algorithm is guaranteed to converge to the global optimum. Our experiments show that our algorithm significantly outperforms standard algorithms for solving convex optimization problems. Moreover, our algorithm outperforms four previously published algorithms that were specifically designed to solve the L1 regularized logistic regression problem.read more

Probabilistic Joint Feature Selection for Multi-task Learning.
TL;DR: This work studies the joint feature selection problem when learning multiple related classification or regression tasks and shows that an automatic relevance determination prior on the hypothesis classes associated with each of the tasks outperforms a regularized multi-task learning approach and the traditional methods.

A Unified View of Regularized Dual Averaging and Mirror Descent with Implicit Updates
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that FOBOS uses subgradient approximations to the L1 penalty from previous rounds, leading to less sparsity than RDA, which handles the cumulative penalty in closed form.

Regression Shrinkage and Selection via the Lasso
TL;DR: A new method for estimation in linear models called the lasso, which minimizes the residual sum of squares subject to the sum of the absolute value of the coefficients being less than a constant, is proposed.

Convex Optimization
Stephen Boyd,Lieven Vandenberghe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the focus is on recognizing convex optimization problems and then finding the most appropriate technique for solving them, and a comprehensive introduction to the subject is given. But the focus of this book is not on the optimization problem itself, but on the problem of finding the appropriate technique to solve it.
