The study introduces a debiasing method for regression estimators, including high-dimensional and nonparametric regression estimators. The proposed technique adds a bias-correction term to the original estimators, extending conventional one-step estimators used in semiparametric analysis. Theoretical analysis shows that the proposed estimator achieves sqrt(n)-consistency and asymptotic normality under mild convergence rate conditions. This approach remains model-free as long as the original estimator and conditional expected residual estimator satisfy the condition.

This study helps machines learn more accurately by correcting biases in their predictions. Nonparametric regression methods are great for learning about relationships in data without making assumptions, but they can be tricky to work with. The researchers came up with a new way to correct these biases and make the predictions better. They tested it and found that it works really well! Now machines can learn more accurately and reliably.
