arXiv:2505. 10882v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Principal component analysis classically requires full $d$-dimensional samples, yet in various applications hardware limits acquisition to a few scalar measurements per sample.

arXiv:2606. 14488v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent finite-time analyses of nonlinear two-time-scale stochastic approximation show that under contractive assumptions the slow iterate $Y_k$ with stepsizes $\beta_k=\Theta(k^{-1})$ and $\alpha_k=\Theta(k^{-a})$, $a\in(1/2,1)$, generally satisfies a mean-square rate of order $k^{-a}$; decoupled $k^{-1}$ rates require strong local linearity.

arXiv:2607. 16384v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: For stochastic gradient descent (SGD) with a constant stepsize $\alpha$, the invariant law of the iterates, centered at a minimizer, describes the behavior of the algorithm over long time horizons.

arXiv:2608. 15466v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Distributional changes can be invisible to means and covariances yet appear in skewness, asymmetric interactions, or other third-order structure.

arXiv:2408. 06401v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study nonconvex optimization in high dimensions through Langevin dynamics, focusing on the multi-spiked tensor PCA problem.

arXiv:2511. 11927v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a standard tool for extracting a low-rank signal from noisy observations.

arXiv:2310. 15976v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: signSGD is attractive in nonconvex optimization because it communicates sign-valued rather than full-precision gradients.

arXiv:2607. 22221v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Zermelo's algorithm is a classical method for computing the maximum likelihood estimator in the Bradley--Terry (BT) model, but its convergence can be slow in practice.

arXiv:2607. 12360v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The cooldown phase of a warmup-stable-decay (WSD) learning-rate schedule, now a default in large-model pretraining, lowers the final training loss in some settings and does nothing in others.
