arXiv:2607. 09909v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study nearest neighbor search from the perspective of data-driven algorithm design: given a dataset $P \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of size $n$ and sample access to a query distribution over $\mathbb{R}^d$, the goal is to learn a data structure optimized for queries drawn from that specific distribution.

arXiv:2607. 22889v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning the natural parameters $z \in \mathbb{R}^n$ of discrete distributions $\mu_z$ from independent samples constrained to a subset $S \subseteq \{0,1\}^n$ is a foundational challenge in high-dimensional statistics.

arXiv:2604. 14614v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We give an algorithm for PAC learning intersections of $k$ halfspaces with a $\rho$ margin to within error $\varepsilon$ that runs in time $\textsf{poly}(k, \varepsilon^{-1}, \rho^{-1}) \cdot \exp \left(O(\sqrt{n \log(1/\rho) \log k})\right)$.

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:2606. 15219v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this work, we tackle the following question: Can neural networks trained with gradient-based methods achieve the optimal computational-statistical tradeoff in learning Gaussian single-index models?

arXiv:2607. 08538v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Suppose we observe two sets of $n$ Gaussian vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$, with the promise that, after applying a permutation of $[n]$ and a rotation of $\mathbb{R}^d$, the two sets are $\rho$-correlated.
