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.

arXiv:2512. 07355v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Two traditions of interpretability have evolved side by side but seldom spoken to each other: Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs), which prescribe what a concept should be, and Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs), which discover what concepts emerge.

The paper investigates fundamental limits of algorithmic principles in multiclass learning, specifically proper learning and regularization. It shows that learning cannot always be reduced to proper learning even with an enlarged hypothesis class, that proper learners may need a sublinear number of errors that can be arbitrarily large, and that regularization (SRM or local) is not universally sufficient. The authors also provide a positive theory giving sufficient conditions for SRM learnability and a characterization via integrability of revealed preferences.

arXiv:2608. 08414v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study constrained statistical learning over infinite-dimensional hypothesis classes in the fully nonconvex setting, and establish universal PACC learnability of the solutions of dual algorithms: Probably Approximately Correct on Constraints, guaranteeing optimality and constraint satisfaction at once.

Learning governing equations from observed solution data is a fundamental challenge in scientific machine learning \cite{bruntonDiscoveringGoverningEquations2016,kovachkiNeuralOperatorLearning2023,longPDENetLearningPDEs2018,rudyDatadrivenDiscoveryPartial2017,raonicConvolutionalNeuralOperators2023}, yet the theoretical conditions under which a ground-truth ODE can be uniquely and stably identified from multiple solution observations remain largely undeveloped, and no quantitative analysis of the sample complexity of such learning tasks exists in the literature. To address this gap, we introduce the Hausdorff distance on solution sets as the natural metric for comparing differential equations, since it captures the worst-case separation between two equations over all admissible initial conditions and thus encodes the minimax structure of the identification problem.

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.
