arXiv:2402. 11736v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Kernel herding belongs to a family of deterministic quadratures that seek to minimize the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD), that is, the worst-case integration error over a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS).

arXiv:2606. 08554v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper provides a theoretical account of memorization in stochastic interpolation models.

The paper introduces Langevin simulated bifurcation (LSB), a fast, parallel Boltzmann sampler that matches the accuracy of sequential MCMC methods. It also proposes conditional expectation matching (CEM), an efficient technique for estimating the effective temperature of samples from energy‑based models with conditional independence. Building on these, the authors develop sampler adaptive learning (SAL), which adjusts the model temperature to align with the distribution produced by LSB, enabling efficient training of semi‑restricted Boltzmann machines (SRBMs) and outperforming conventional methods on synthetic spin‑glass datasets.

We study PAC-Bayes derandomization for smooth loss functions. Our goal is to obtain generalization bounds that hold with high probability for deterministic predictors by exploiting smoothness properties of both the loss and the predictor class.
arXiv:2411. 12030v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this paper, the method of gaps, a technique for deriving closed-form expressions in terms of information measures for the generalization error of supervised learning algorithms, is introduced.

arXiv:2606. 07495v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding how training data shape neural network predictions is a central problem in modern learning theory.
By Jin Guo, Roy Y. He, Jean-Michel Morel
The paper investigates overparameterized polynomial interpolation across three polynomial bases—Monomial, Chebyshev, and Legendre—using coefficients minimal in the σ^2-norm (and σ^1-norm for the monomial basis). It focuses on equidistant and Chebyshev data points, though many findings hold regardless of sampling specifics. The study draws parallels between the classical Runge phenomenon and the modern double descent phenomenon in machine learning.
