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.

Detecting Nonproperness of Likelihood Equations

arXiv:2608. 01976v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Given an algebraic statistical model, a challenging problem is classifying the data according to the number of positive critical points of the likelihood function.
