arXiv:2603. 05691v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: It is increasingly common in machine learning to use learned models to label data and then employ such data to train more capable models.
arXiv:2510. 12249v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In performative learning, the data distribution reacts to the deployed model - for example, because strategic users adapt their features to game it - which creates a more complex dynamic than in classical supervised learning.
arXiv:2607. 15450v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-distillation (SD) is typically studied when the student is retrained on the teacher's original training inputs.
arXiv:2601. 19791v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study grokking, the onset of generalization long after overfitting, in a classical ridge regression setting.
arXiv:2406. 04425v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A fundamental problem in machine learning is understanding the effect of early stopping on the parameters obtained and the generalization capabilities of the model.
arXiv:2509. 17251v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing theory suggests that for linear regression problems categorized by capacity and source conditions, gradient descent (GD) is always minimax optimal, while both ridge regression and online stochastic gradient descent (SGD) are polynomially suboptimal for certain categories of such problems.
arXiv:2606. 01292v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Teacher-Student Knowledge Transfer (KT) is ubiquitous in modern machine learning, ranging from classical model compression via Knowledge Distillation (KD) to the emergent phenomenon of Weak-to-Strong (W2S) generalization.
arXiv:2606. 28242v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding how performance scales jointly with model size and data is a central problem in modern machine learning.
arXiv:2608. 02539v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a simple Gaussian approximation to the finite-sample distribution of the classical ridge regression estimator.
arXiv:2502. 11665v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The classical kernel ridge regression problem aims to find the best fit for the output $Y$ as a function of the input data $X\in \mathbb{R}^d$, with a fixed choice of regularization term imposed by a given choice of a reproducing kernel Hilbert space, such as a Sobolev space.
arXiv:2509. 24882v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Neural scaling laws underlie many of the recent advances in deep learning, yet their theoretical understanding remains largely confined to linear models.
arXiv:2606. 29158v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning-rate transfer can reduce the cost of training large language models: instead of sweeping learning rates at target scale, practitioners extrapolate from smaller runs.
arXiv:2606. 00512v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In many modern machine learning pipelines, abundant pretrained representations serve as noisy proxy covariates, while task-specific labels remain scarce.
