That's the objective function of Hastie et al's GLM. I had a good chuckle when I realized the author's last name is Tibshirani. If you know you know.

Hastie and Tibshirani wrote a famous book on ML (https://hastie.su.domains/ElemStatLearn/), and extended GLMs into GAMs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_additive_model
