Algebraic Signatures for Structural Learning in Probability Tensors

arXiv:2607. 18817v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Algebraic statistics characterizes statistical models through polynomial constraints, but it has mainly been used for analytically specified model classes.

Tight Bounds for Data-driven Multiple Hyper-parameter Tuning with Structured Loss Function

The paper establishes tight pseudo-dimension bounds for data-driven multiple hyper‑parameter tuning with structured loss functions. By refining upper bounds through real algebraic geometry and analyzing invariant connected sign cells, the authors avoid over‑counting and achieve sharper sample complexities. A multi‑regime lower‑bound framework demonstrates that these upper bounds are tight, and the approach is extended to general bi‑level validation‑loss tuning and broader semi‑algebraic applications.

Lifted Model Construction under Approximate Commutativity

Lifted inference algorithms scale probabilistic inference by exploiting indistinguishable objects, but real‑world data often yields only approximately commutative factors. The paper introduces ε‑commutativity, a relaxation that tolerates small deviations from exact invariance, and shows how it can be used to build lifted models and perform inference with provable error bounds. Empirical results confirm that queries remain accurate while runtime is reduced.

Language Identification with Succinct Machine-Independent Traces

arXiv:2607. 12443v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by the power of large language models, there has been renewed interest in the Gold-Angluin model of language identification in the limit, with an eye toward variants of the model that might overcome the negative results for its original formulation.

Low-rank Distributional Matrix Completion

arXiv:2606. 04176v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study a distributional generalization of the matrix completion problem in which each entry of the target matrix is a probability distribution rather than a scalar.
