Non-Shattering at and Above the Dynamical Temperature in the Spherical Pure p-Spin Model

arXiv:2608. 14369v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider the notion of shattering introduced by Ben Arous and Jagannath for spherical pure $p$-spin glasses with overlap $q$.

Spectral Gaps of Hit-and-Run and Coordinate Hit-and-Run

arXiv:2608. 16878v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For any convex body $\mathcal{K}\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}$ containing a unit ball, the spectral gap of Hit-and-Run is $\Omega(1/(n^2 C_{\mathsf{PI}}))$, where $C_{\mathsf{PI}}$ is the Poincar\'e constant of the uniform distribution $\pi$ over $\mathcal{K}$.

Tight Bounds for Learning Polyhedra with a Margin

arXiv:2604. 14614v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We give an algorithm for PAC learning intersections of $k$ halfspaces with a $\rho$ margin to within error $\varepsilon$ that runs in time $\textsf{poly}(k, \varepsilon^{-1}, \rho^{-1}) \cdot \exp \left(O(\sqrt{n \log(1/\rho) \log k})\right)$.

The VC dimension of partial concept classes via Radon's theorem

arXiv:2607. 10751v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Following Alon, Hanneke, Holzman, and Moran (FOCS 2021), we define a partial concept class (PCC) as a family of partial functions \(f: V\to\{0,1,\ast\}\); equivalently, its concepts partition the ground set into black ($f^{-1}(1)$), grey ($f^{-1}(\ast)$), and white parts ($f^{-1}(0)$).
