Summary
This paper is concerned with the problem of model selection in learning. They seek to incorporate a joint decision making about candidate features, and promote sparsity (not just in terms of the number of features). Their approach to that is via regularizers which can encode prior knowledge and hence guide feature selection by modeling the structure of the feature space.
In NLP, the and regularizers are by far the most common choice of regularization.
