New Regularization Method Improves Ordinal Regression Performance
This study introduces a novel unimodality-promoting regularized learning (UPRL) method for ordinal regression that more strictly reflects the idea of promoting unimodal conditional probability distributions (CPDs). The new method avoids a scale-related bias found in previous UPRL approaches, leading to improved prediction performance, especially with smaller training datasets.
Criticality Governs Learning Dynamics in Deep Neural Networks
This research establishes a direct link between correlation propagation and the Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) in deep neural networks, showing that optimal information and gradient flow occurs at a specific critical point. At this point, the NTK becomes proportional to output correlation, clarifying the role of orthogonal initialization in controlling learning dynamics.
