The paper introduces a transfer learning framework for structured matrix estimation when both the ambient dimension and the intrinsic representation grow over time. It models the target parameter as an embedded source component plus low‑rank innovations and sparse edits, and proposes an anchored alternating projection estimator that preserves the transferred subspace while estimating only the new components. Deterministic error bounds are derived that separate target noise, representation growth, and source estimation error, showing improved rates when rank and sparsity increments are small, and the framework is applied to Markov transition matrix estimation and structured covariance estimation with theoretical guarantees and empirical validation.

The paper introduces a structured method for learning linear operators in control systems using data. It leverages the framework of (semi)groups for evolution equations to establish structural assumptions and applies inverse‑problems theory to analyze learning algorithms, revealing error decompositions, convergence guarantees, and optimal regularization. Focusing on bounded operators on Hilbert spaces, the authors derive a convergent estimator for time‑varying systems, illustrating the practical power of their approach.

Identifying the governing equations of complex dynamical systems remains a fundamental challenge across science and engineering. While early approaches relied on empirical data and heuristics, modern data-driven methods offer greater flexibility and fewer assumptions.

The paper introduces a novel technique called "persistence of memory" to enhance stochastic subspace methods for large‑scale optimisation. By using a weakly correlated guidance vector that is refreshed only at wide intervals, the method provides a structured direction for random subspace descent. The authors demonstrate that this guidance can be efficiently computed in sparse or minibatch settings and present the first theoretical analysis of classical SSD methods for sparse functions, showing alignment with low‑lying Hessian eigenvectors near the optimum.
