Tight Generalization Bound for AdaBoost

arXiv:2607. 26838v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper we show that the generalization error of AdaBoost is $\Theta\big(\tfrac{d\ln(n\gamma^{2}/d)}{n\gamma^2}+\tfrac{\ln(1/\delta)}{n}\big)$, where $\gamma$ is the advantage guaranteed by the weak learner, $d$ is the VC-dimension of the class containing the weak hypotheses, $n$ is the sample size, and $\delta$ is the confidence parameter.

Optimistic Rates for Multiclass PAC Learning

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.

ExTernD: Expanded-Rank Ternary Decomposition Ternary LLM PTQ with Accuracy Approaching Any Quantization Level

arXiv:2607. 13511v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce ExTernD (Expanded-rank Ternary Decomposition), a post-training factorization of each LLM weight matrix $A \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ into $A \approx B \mathrm{diag}(D) C$ with ternary factors $B \in \{-1,0,+1\}^{m \times k}$, $C \in \{-1,0,+1\}^{k \times n}$ and a real scale vector $D \in \mathbb{R}^k$.

We introduce ExTernD (Expanded-rank Ternary Decomposition), a post-training factorization of each LLM weight matrix $A \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ into $A \approx B \mathrm{diag}(D) C$ with ternary factors $B \in \{-1,0,+1\}^{m \times k}$, $C \in \{-1,0,+1\}^{k \times n}$ and a real scale vector $D \in \mathbb{R}^k$. The inner rank $k = μ\min(m,n)$ is deliberately expanded beyond full rank ($μ> 1$), so that components past full rank correct the quantization error of earlier ones.
