We study statistical inverse learning in the context of nonlinear inverse problems under random design. Specifically, we address a class of nonlinear problems by employing gradient descent (GD) and stochastic gradient descent (SGD) with mini-batching, both using constant step sizes. Our analysis derives convergence rates for both algorithms under classical a priori assumptions on the smoothness of the target function. These assumptions are expressed in terms of the integral operator associated with the tangent kernel, as well as through a bound on the effective dimension. Additionally, we establish stopping times that yield minimax-optimal convergence rates within the classical reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) framework. These results demonstrate the efficacy of GD and SGD in achieving optimal rates for nonlinear inverse problems in random design.

In this paper, we study the Nystr{ö}m type subsampling for large scale kernel methods to reduce the computational complexities of big data. We discuss the multi-penalty regularization scheme based on Nystr{ö}m type subsampling which is motivated from well-studied manifold regularization schemes. We develop a theoretical analysis of multi-penalty least-square regularization scheme under the general source condition in vector-valued function setting, therefore the results can also be applied to multi-task learning problems. We achieve the optimal minimax convergence rates of multi-penalty regularization using the concept of effective dimension for the appropriate subsampling size. We discuss an aggregation approach based on linear function strategy to combine various Nystr{ö}m approximants. Finally, we demonstrate the performance of multi-penalty regularization based on Nystr{ö}m type subsampling on Caltech-101 data set for multi-class image classification and NSL-KDD benchmark data set for intrusion detection problem.
