Approximate Leave-One-Out for Fast Parameter Tuning in High Dimensions
Shuaiwen Wang, Wenda Zhou, Haihao Lu, Arian Maleki, Vahab Mirrokni
Consider the following class of learning schemes: β̂ := minᵦ ∑ⱼ₌₁ⁿ ℓ(xⱼ^⊤β; yⱼ) + λR(β), (1) where xᵢ ∈ℝᵖ and yᵢ ∈ℝ denote the iᵗʰ feature and response variable respectively. Let ℓ and R be the loss function and regularizer, β denote the unknown weights, and λ be a regularization parameter. Finding the optimal choice of λ is a challenging problem in high-dimensional regimes where both n and p are large. We propose two frameworks to obtain a computationally efficient approximation ALO of the leave-one-out cross validation (LOOCV) risk for nonsmooth losses and regularizers. Our two frameworks are based on the primal and dual formulations of (1). We prove the equivalence of the two approaches under smoothness conditions. This equivalence enables us to justify the accuracy of both methods under such conditions. We use our approaches to obtain a risk estimate for several standard problems, including generalized LASSO, nuclear norm regularization, and support vector machines. We empirically demonstrate the effectiveness of our results for non-differentiable cases.
