arXiv:2605. 09916v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce the observable Wasserstein distance, a framework for deriving lower bounds on the Wasserstein distance between probability measures on Polish metric spaces, designed to bypass the computational intractability of exact optimal transport in large-scale, non-Euclidean datasets.

arXiv:2603. 07221v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Margin-based learning, exemplified by linear and kernel methods, is one of the few classical settings where generalization guarantees are independent of the number of parameters.

arXiv:2608. 11016v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Clustering is a fundamental class of data analysis techniques with the most important representatives being centroid-based methods like $k$-means.

arXiv:2604. 14614v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We give an algorithm for PAC learning intersections of $k$ halfspaces with a $\rho$ margin to within error $\varepsilon$ that runs in time $\textsf{poly}(k, \varepsilon^{-1}, \rho^{-1}) \cdot \exp \left(O(\sqrt{n \log(1/\rho) \log k})\right)$.

Clustering is a fundamental class of data analysis techniques with the most important representatives being centroid-based methods like $k$-means. Such methods are strongly connected to quantization problems, which aim to approximate general probability measures with discrete ones.
arXiv:2608. 10416v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a theoretical foundation for inverse-distance attention, from its Euclidean prototype (Resolver) to its non-Euclidean realization (Riemann GeoResolver).

arXiv:2510. 21033v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We develop a theory of iso-Riemannian optimization for problems constrained to learned data manifolds, a setting in which classical Riemannian optimization - and Riemannian gradient descent in particular - can be poorly suited.
