arXiv:2608. 03439v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In recent work, Marcussen, Rubinfeld, and Sudan introduced the notion of quality control problems, which aim to capture the task of determining if a given input is truly random.
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:2507. 05972v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pseudoentropy characterizations give quantitatively precise formulations of the relationship between computational hardness and computational randomness.
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:2607. 23361v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language generation in the limit is an elegant model introduced by Kleinberg and Mullainathan [KM24] to formally study language generation by an algorithm that learns solely based on example strings.
arXiv:2609.23094v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the number of prototypes needed to represent Boolean functions by nearest-neighbour classification. There are two distinct settings: the pro...

arXiv:2607.17469v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: How much does an algorithm's running-time distribution under independent randomness reveal about its behavior when independence is no longer...
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.
The paper resolves a key question in statistical learning under adversarial corruption by showing that sample‑adaptive and sample‑oblivious adversaries are equivalent up to polynomial factors in the sample size for all corruption types. It proves that any algorithm that succeeds against a sample‑oblivious adversary can be transformed into one that succeeds against the corresponding sample‑adaptive adversary by requesting a polynomially larger sample and running the original algorithm on a random subsample. The construction preserves computational efficiency and requires only a simple modification of the algorithm.
arXiv:2609.10196v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Attias, Hanneke and Ramaswami (NeurIPS 2025) asked whether randomization provably reduces the oracle calls needed for online learning when the class...
