arXiv:2607. 02896v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We ask whether interaction is necessary for order-optimal 1-bit mean estimation over nonparametric finite-moment classes.
arXiv:2608. 02538v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper is concerned with one-bit mean estimation, where each independent sample is represented by a single binary message.
arXiv:2606. 00703v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-precision pretraining (FP8, MXFP4, NVFP4) is now standard for frontier language models, yet the literature is almost entirely achievability -- algorithms and empirical scaling laws -- with no matching characterization of what is information-theoretically possible.
arXiv:2603. 09923v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Exponential moving averages (EMAs) are a central component of widely used adaptive optimizers such as Adam.
arXiv:2505. 22988v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The goal of quantization is to produce a compressed model whose output distribution is as close to the original model's as possible.
arXiv:2606. 11171v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We develop indexed Bellman information complexity, a representation-level theory of interactive decision making centered on information indices and reference histories.
arXiv:2608. 08662v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The single-selection prophet inequality is a canonical Bayesian online selection problem in which independent nonnegative values arrive sequentially and the decision-maker must irrevocably select at most one.
arXiv:2606. 11339v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study distributed optimization with stochastic gradients and finite-bit communication modeled by random (unbiased) quantization.
arXiv:2607. 08779v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The signed integer alphabet contains one more negative representable value than positive.
arXiv:2606. 31769v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study policy optimization for online episodic tabular Markov decision processes with unknown transition kernels, aiming for best-of-both-worlds guarantees together with data-dependent regret bounds.
arXiv:2603. 10562v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Monotone operator equilibrium networks are implicit-layer models whose output is the unique equilibrium of a monotone operator, guaranteeing existence, uniqueness, and convergence.
arXiv:2606. 12808v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adaptive Hamiltonian learning is central to calibrating and characterizing quantum devices.
arXiv:2605. 16103v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Q-learning is known to suffer from overestimation bias: because the Bellman update maximizes noisy or imperfect action-value estimates, positive errors can be selected and propagated, causing learned values to exceed the true optimal values.
