Hypothesis Testing with Conditional Queries: Learnability and the Value of Interaction
arXiv:2608. 06262v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Model evaluations may fix all tests before observing any responses or select later tests using earlier responses.
arXiv:2607. 07085v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Adaptive Data Analysis (ADA) problem formalizes the challenge of preventing false discovery and overfitting when a dataset is repeatedly reused.

arXiv:2608. 02176v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the round complexity of learning a hidden partition $\mathcal{P}$ of an $n$-element universe using PAIR queries: PAIR($x,y$) tells us whether $x$ and $y$ belong to the same part of the partition or not.
arXiv:2607. 24732v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by learning from heterogeneous and overlapping data providers, we study a stylized model of distribution learning from restricted conditional samples.
arXiv:2606. 11437v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Efficiently sampling from a complex probability distribution is a fundamental problem which has become increasingly pertinent in recent years with the rise of generative AI, as sophisticated sampling procedures from LLMs have been proposed to solve challenging reasoning problems.
arXiv:2603. 16798v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study mean estimation for a Gaussian distribution with identity covariance in $\mathbb{R}^d$ under a missing data scheme termed realizable $\epsilon$-contamination model.
arXiv:2604. 08438v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The Shapley value, and its broader family of semi-values, has received much attention in various attribution problems.
arXiv:2602. 03972v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The best-arm identification (BAI) problem is one of the most fundamental problems in interactive machine learning, which has two flavors: the fixed-budget setting (FB) and the fixed-confidence setting (FC).
arXiv:2607. 15528v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Following Goldwasser, Rothblum, Shafer, and Yehudayoff, who defined a framework for interactive proofs of learning [ITCS'21], we initiate the study of non-interactive proofs of learning.
arXiv:2602. 16568v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sparse recovery is among the most well-studied problems in learning theory and high-dimensional statistics.
arXiv:2606. 25777v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We initiate a resource-aware theory of \textit{language generation in the limit} under the minimal constraint of space efficiency.
arXiv:2608. 01320v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language generation in the limit is a theoretical framework for studying how a generator can learn to produce new valid strings from a stream of positive examples.
arXiv:2402. 07391v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We consider a replicable stochastic multi-armed bandit algorithm that ensures, with high probability, that the algorithm's sequence of actions is not affected by the randomness inherent in the dataset.
