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:2608. 06262v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Model evaluations may fix all tests before observing any responses or select later tests using earlier responses.
arXiv:2608. 06337v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A monotone adversary observes an i.
arXiv:2606. 25170v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study PAC learning in tabular discounted Markov decision processes with exogenous i.
arXiv:2608. 10869v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Worst-case multiclass bounds do not become smaller when the best classifier is already nearly correct: what is missing is an optimistic rate, a guarantee whose fluctuation scales with the oracle risk itself.
arXiv:2509. 03734v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In the hypothesis selection problem, we are given sample and query access to finite set of candidate distributions (hypotheses), $\mathcal{H} = \{H_1, \ldots, H_n\}$, and samples from an unknown distribution $P$, both over a domain $\mathcal{X}$.
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:2608. 04288v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Calibration requires a predictor to be unbiased after conditioning on its own predictions.
arXiv:2608. 06363v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Let $H\subseteq\{-1,+1\}^X$ be a class of finite VC dimension $d\ge1$.
arXiv:2608. 15472v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The problem of networked information aggregation, studied in Kearns et al.
arXiv:2608. 02533v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We construct unambiguous DNFs having width $O(n)$ but $0$-certificate complexity $\Omega(n^2)$.
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:2606. 17319v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by the optimization of bounded binary black-box functions, we study the problem of learning polynomial surrogates over the Boolean hypercube.
