arXiv:2606. 00413v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) makes high-dimensional regression tractable by projecting the covariates onto a low-dimensional subspace that preserves the conditional mean of the response.
arXiv:2608. 12009v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Bregman proximal stochastic gradient (BPSG) methods bring variance-reduced composite optimization to objectives whose geometry is poorly captured by Euclidean smoothness.
arXiv:2510. 01878v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Low-rank gradient optimization for large language models is currently divided into two categories: structured methods that rigorously identify subspaces, and randomized approaches employed primarily for computational efficiency.
arXiv:2606. 12120v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank optimal transport (OT) mitigates the quadratic scaling of classical solvers, yet existing approaches rely heavily on first-order mirror-descent updates that require careful hyperparameter tuning and ignore the optimization landscape's curvature.
arXiv:2607. 21039v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spectral methods are among the most widely used techniques for community detection, clustering, and graph learning.
arXiv:2606. 23867v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The exact computation of the Normalized Maximum Likelihood (NML) codelength for regular non-smooth estimators (e.
arXiv:2607. 25299v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Optimization over the Stiefel manifold plays a significant role in various machine learning tasks.
arXiv:2608. 08642v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study exact Kullback--Leibler (KL) projection for low-rank factorizations whose two nonnegative factors have prescribed row marginals and a shared, learned column marginal.
arXiv:2607. 03871v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Minimum maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) estimation has emerged as a robust and likelihood-free alternative to maximum likelihood estimation for parameter estimation.
arXiv:2607. 08380v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: An important quantity in the theory of gradient descent (GD) is the \emph{sharpness}, defined as the largest eigenvalue of the objective Hessian.
arXiv:2606. 30455v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The standard convergence analysis of mini-batch stochastic gradient descent (SGD) models gradient noise using a single variance term that treats all parameter directions equally, ignoring the fact that noise in high-curvature directions has less impact because learning rates are already constrained there.
arXiv:2606. 27298v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the fundamental problem of learning a high-dimensional Gaussian truncated to an unknown halfspace.
arXiv:2608. 15121v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) seeks the minimal subspace of the predictors that captures the full conditional distribution of the response, which is known as the central subspace (CS).
