Data augmented bootstrap: Unifying confidence interval construction by approximate invariance

We propose the data augmented bootstrap (DAB), a framework for constructing confidence intervals from approximately invariant transformations of the data. As special cases, DAB recovers popular methods that rely on exact group symmetries, such as conformal prediction, wild bootstrap for Maximum Mean Discrepancy U-statistics and the recently proposed SymmPI.

Sparse Data Augmentation for Optimization with Provable Guarantees

The paper investigates sparse data augmentation for nonconvex optimization in geometric machine learning. It shows that using a small, fixed sample of transformations—obtained before optimization—allows gradient descent to achieve an ε‑stationary point of the fully augmented objective with ≤ O((log|G|+log(1/δ))/ε²) transformation queries. This is more efficient than both full augmentation and standard group‑SGD, which require O(1/ε⁴) queries.
