Abstract
En 中文
In this work, we study a new class of risks defined in terms of the location and deviation of the loss distribution, generalizing far beyond classical mean-variance risk functions. The class is easily implemented as a wrapper around any smooth loss, it admits finite-sample stationarity guarantees for stochastic gradient methods, it is straightforward to interpret and adjust, with close links to M-estimators of the loss location, and has a salient effect on the test loss distribution, giving us control over symmetry and deviations that are not possible under naive ERM.
