Distributional Loss for Robust Classification

This paper proposes a novel loss concept for supervised classification tasks. Rather than enforcing a direct mapping from each input sample to a single assigned label, we define an optimization objective over all classifier outputs as a bimodal Gaussian distribution.

How the Hessian-Spectrum of Neural Networks Depends on Data

arXiv:2607. 13631v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Hessian matrix is an important quantity of interest when it comes to studying the loss landscape and optimization dynamics in deep learning, as well as designing measures of generalization, second-order learning algorithms, etc.

How the Hessian-Spectrum of Neural Networks Depends on Data

The Hessian matrix is an important quantity of interest when it comes to studying the loss landscape and optimization dynamics in deep learning, as well as designing measures of generalization, second-order learning algorithms, etc. Prior works have focused on empirical results or pursued a theoretical treatment under overly simplified settings.

Linear-Core Surrogates: Smooth Loss Functions with Linear Rates for Classification and Structured Prediction

arXiv:2604. 27742v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A fundamental dichotomy in the theory of classification sets smoothness against statistical efficiency: smooth surrogate losses such as the logistic loss enable fast $O(1/T)$ optimization but yield slow square-root $H$-consistency bounds, while piecewise-linear losses like the Hinge loss achieve optimal linear $H$-consistency rates but are non-differentiable.
