This paper introduces a projected functional gradient descent algorithm (P-FGD) for training nonparametric additive quantile regression models in online settings. This algorithm extends the functional stochastic gradient descent framework to the pinball loss. An advantage of P-FGD is that it does not need to store historical data while maintaining $O(J_t\ln J_t)$ computational complexity per step where $J_t$ denotes the number of basis functions. Besides, we only need $O(J_t)$ computational time for quantile function prediction at time $t$. These properties show that P-FGD is much better than the commonly used RKHS in online learning. By leveraging a novel Hilbert space projection identity, we also prove that the proposed online quantile function estimator (P-FGD) achieves the minimax optimal consistency rate $O(t^{-\frac{2s}{2s+1}})$ where $t$ is the current time and $s$ denotes the smoothness degree of the quantile function. Extensions to mini-batch learning are also established.

Computational models support high-stakes decisions across engineering and science, and practitioners increasingly seek probabilistic predictions to quantify uncertainty in such models. Existing approaches generate predictions either by sampling input parameter distributions or by augmenting deterministic outputs with uncertainty representations, including distribution-free and distributional methods. However, sampling-based methods are often computationally prohibitive for real-time applications, and many existing uncertainty representations either ignore input dependence or rely on restrictive Gaussian assumptions that fail to capture asymmetry and heavy-tailed behavior. Therefore, we extend the ACCurate and Reliable Uncertainty Estimate (ACCRUE) framework to learn input-dependent, non-Gaussian uncertainty distributions, specifically two-piece Gaussian and asymmetric Laplace forms, using a neural network trained with a loss function that balances predictive accuracy and reliability. Through synthetic and real-world experiments, we show that the proposed approach captures an input-dependent uncertainty structure and improves probabilistic forecasts relative to existing methods, while maintaining flexibility to model skewed and non-Gaussian errors.

We develop a theoretical framework for generalization in the interpolating regime of statistical learning. The central question is why highly overparameterized estimators can attain zero empirical risk while still achieving nontrivial predictive accuracy, and how to characterize the boundary between benign and destructive overfitting. We introduce a spectral-transport stability framework in which excess risk is controlled jointly by the spectral geometry of the data distribution, the sensitivity of the learning rule under single-sample replacement, and the alignment structure of label noise. This leads to a scale-dependent Fredriksson index that combines effective dimension, transport stability, and noise alignment into a single complexity parameter for interpolating estimators. We prove finite-sample risk bounds, establish a sharp benign-overfitting criterion through the vanishing of the index along admissible spectral scales, and derive explicit phase-transition rates under polynomial spectral decay. For a model-specific specialization, we obtain an explicit theorem for polynomial-spectrum linear interpolation, together with a proof of the resulting rate. The framework also clarifies implicit regularization by showing how optimization dynamics can select interpolating solutions of minimal spectral-transport energy. These results connect algorithmic stability, double descent, benign overfitting, operator-theoretic learning theory, and implicit bias within a unified structural account of modern interpolation.

Causal discovery from observational data remains a fundamental challenge in machine learning and statistics, particularly when variables represent inherently positive quantities such as gene expression levels, asset prices, company revenues, or population counts, which often follow multiplicative rather than additive dynamics. We propose the Hybrid Moment-Ratio Scoring (H-MRS) algorithm, a novel method for learning directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) from positive-valued data by combining moment-based scoring with log-scale regression. The key idea is that for positive-valued variables, the moment ratio $\frac{\mathbb{E}[X_j^2]}{\mathbb{E}[(\mathbb{E}[X_j \mid S])^2]}$ provides an effective criterion for causal ordering, where $S$ denotes candidate parent sets. H-MRS integrates log-scale Ridge regression for moment-ratio estimation with a greedy ordering procedure based on raw-scale moment ratios, followed by Elastic Net-based parent selection to recover the final DAG structure. Experiments on synthetic log-linear data demonstrate competitive precision and recall. The proposed method is computationally efficient and naturally respects positivity constraints, making it suitable for applications in genomics and economics. These results suggest that combining log-scale modeling with raw-scale moment ratios provides a practical framework for causal discovery in positive-valued domains.

This article proposes a biconvex modification to convex biclustering in order to improve its performance in high-dimensional settings. In contrast to heuristics that discard a subset of noisy features a priori, our method jointly learns and accordingly weighs informative features while discovering biclusters. Moreover, the method is adaptive to the data, and is accompanied by an efficient algorithm based on proximal alternating minimization, complete with detailed guidance on hyperparameter tuning and efficient solutions to optimization subproblems. These contributions are theoretically grounded; we establish finite-sample bounds on the objective function under sub-Gaussian errors, and generalize these guarantees to cases where input affinities need not be uniform. Extensive simulation results reveal our method consistently recovers underlying biclusters while weighing and selecting features appropriately, outperforming peer methods. An application to a gene microarray dataset of lymphoma samples recovers biclusters matching an underlying classification, while giving additional interpretation to the mRNA samples via the column groupings and fitted weights.

Sequential experimental design under expensive, gradient-free objectives is a central challenge in computational statistics: evaluation budgets are tightly constrained and information must be extracted efficiently from each observation. We propose \textbf{ALMAB-DC}, a GP-based sequential design framework combining active learning, multi-armed bandits (MAB), and distributed asynchronous computing for expensive black-box experimentation. A Gaussian process surrogate with uncertainty-aware acquisition identifies informative query points; a UCB or Thompson-sampling bandit controller allocates evaluations across parallel workers; and an asynchronous scheduler handles heterogeneous runtimes. We present cumulative regret bounds for the bandit components and characterize parallel scalability via Amdahl's Law. We validate ALMAB-DC on five benchmarks. On the two statistical experimental-design tasks, ALMAB-DC achieves lower simple regret than Equal Spacing, Random, and D-optimal designs in dose--response optimization, and in adaptive spatial field estimation matches the Greedy Max-Variance benchmark while outperforming Latin Hypercube Sampling; at $K=4$ the distributed setting reaches target performance in one-quarter of sequential wall-clock rounds. On three ML/engineering tasks (CIFAR-10 HPO, CFD drag minimization, MuJoCo RL), ALMAB-DC achieves 93.4\% CIFAR-10 accuracy (outperforming BOHB by 1.7\,pp and Optuna by 1.1\,pp), reduces airfoil drag to $C_D = 0.059$ (36.9\% below Grid Search), and improves RL return by 50\% over Grid Search. All advantages over non-ALMAB baselines are statistically significant under Bonferroni-corrected Mann--Whitney $U$ tests. Distributed execution achieves $7.5\times$ speedup at $K = 16$ agents, consistent with Amdahl's Law.

The Hierarchical Kernel Transformer (HKT) is a multi-scale attention mechanism that processes sequences at L resolution levels via trainable causal downsampling, combining level-specific score matrices through learned convex weights. The total computational cost is bounded by 4/3 times that of standard attention, reaching 1.3125x for L = 3. Four theoretical results are established. (i) The hierarchical score matrix defines a positive semidefinite kernel under a sufficient condition on the symmetrised bilinear form (Proposition 3.1). (ii) The asymmetric score matrix decomposes uniquely into a symmetric part controlling reciprocal attention and an antisymmetric part controlling directional attention; HKT provides L independent such pairs across scales, one per resolution level (Propositions 3.5-3.6). (iii) The approximation error decomposes into three interpretable components with an explicit non-Gaussian correction and a geometric decay bound in L (Theorem 4.3, Proposition 4.4). (iv) HKT strictly subsumes single-head standard attention and causal convolution (Proposition 3.4). Experiments over 3 random seeds show consistent gains over retrained standard attention baselines: +4.77pp on synthetic ListOps (55.10+-0.29% vs 50.33+-0.12%, T = 512), +1.44pp on sequential CIFAR-10 (35.45+-0.09% vs 34.01+-0.19%, T = 1,024), and +7.47pp on IMDB character-level sentiment (70.19+-0.57% vs 62.72+-0.40%, T = 1,024), all at 1.31x overhead.
