Does generalization performance of regularization learning depend on ? A negative example
-regularization has been demonstrated to be an attractive technique in
machine learning and statistical modeling. It attempts to improve the
generalization (prediction) capability of a machine (model) through
appropriately shrinking its coefficients. The shape of a estimator
differs in varying choices of the regularization order . In particular,
leads to the LASSO estimate, while corresponds to the smooth
ridge regression. This makes the order a potential tuning parameter in
applications. To facilitate the use of -regularization, we intend to
seek for a modeling strategy where an elaborative selection on is
avoidable. In this spirit, we place our investigation within a general
framework of -regularized kernel learning under a sample dependent
hypothesis space (SDHS). For a designated class of kernel functions, we show
that all estimators for attain similar generalization
error bounds. These estimated bounds are almost optimal in the sense that up to
a logarithmic factor, the upper and lower bounds are asymptotically identical.
This finding tentatively reveals that, in some modeling contexts, the choice of
might not have a strong impact in terms of the generalization capability.
From this perspective, can be arbitrarily specified, or specified merely by
other no generalization criteria like smoothness, computational complexity,
sparsity, etc..Comment: 35 pages, 3 figure
Making with Shenzhen (Characteristics)âStrategy and Everyday Tactics in a Cityâs Creative Turn
This paper investigates the government-led maker movement in Shenzhen, China by deploying Michel de Certeauâs concepts of âstrategyâ and âtacticsâ. While there is a growing body of literature surrounding the maker movement, the discrepancy between the maker movement presented in urban policies and its participantsâ actual practices is underexplored. Situating the exploration in the Chinese context, this article looks into how state intervention shapes the maker movement and actorsâ participation. This work starts with considerations of political economy to demonstrate how the âMake with Shenzhenâ campaign as a strategy fits into the governmentâs creative city agenda. It then draws upon the findings of a longitudinal ethnographic study to illuminate how discourses, institutions and apparatuses are tactically appropriated by individuals to mobilize symbolic, monetary, social and political resources to serve their interests. We argue that these tactical practices can potentially lead to meaningful changes in the city of Shenzhen and the everyday life of its people. By juxtaposing the strategy of the âMake with Shenzhenâ campaign with the tactical practices surrounding it, this study offers insight into the challenges and possibilities brought about by the city-wide learning and making in the Chinese context
