arXiv:2606. 03559v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: For nonconvex optimization problems whose objective is the prediction function of a trained Support Vector Regression (SVR) model with the Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) kernel (RBF-SVR), we present a framework that applies the difference of convex functions (DC) algorithm (DCA) by exploiting the analytical structure of the RBF kernel to construct an explicit DC decomposition.

arXiv:2609. 03129v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Several classical machine-learning methods, such as KRRs and SVRs, are both computationally and analytically tractable since their estimators either admit closed-form expressions or are obtained by minimizing convex training objectives; neither feature is generally available for deep neural networks.

The paper establishes high‑probability bounds on mixed input derivatives for wide random neural networks whose activation derivatives grow factorially, with a focus on anh networks initialized with Xavier weights. For scalar‑output anh networks with Gaussian weights, the authors prove that when the hidden width exceeds a depth‑dependent threshold, the derivative of any order satisfies a bound that is independent of depth for first‑order derivatives and grows at most polynomially with depth for higher‑order mixed derivatives. These results yield high‑probability estimates for the Euclidean Lipschitz constant and weighted Sobolev norms, linking the regularity of network realizations to quasi‑Monte Carlo integration and its potential impact on QMC‑based training.

arXiv:2407. 00966v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In traditional models of supervised learning, the goal of a learner-- given examples from an arbitrary joint distribution on $\mathbb{R}^d \times \{\pm 1\}$-- is to output a hypothesis that is competitive (to within $\epsilon$) of the best fitting concept from some class.
