Field Codes for Distributed Coupling Samplers and Certified Empirical Transport

In this paper, we formulate three communication tasks for empirical optimal transport: distributed coupling sampling, cost-evaluable coupling output, and scalar value-certified sampling. Our main result is a field-code compiler: any communicated transport field approximating an optimal empirical Monge map to error $η$ can be completed by sparse target-cell residuals into an exact-marginal value-certified sampler with scalar certificate $W_1(μ,ν)\leq U\leq W_1(μ,ν)+2Δ$, where $Δ$ is the public target-partition diameter.

Why Do Few-Step Text Latents Fail When Image Latents Work? Non-Commitment at Sharp Categorical Readouts

arXiv:2606. 30705v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deterministic few-step generation succeeds on continuous image latents but collapses to incoherent text on continuous text latents, and we show the cause is geometric rather than a training or scaling deficiency: a smooth, regularity-limited deterministic map cannot resolve a discrete branch choice before a sharp categorical readout, so few-step failure is governed by decoder sharpness, not transport accuracy.

Information-Theoretic Lower Bounds for Bit-Constrained Stochastic Optimization via a Reduction to Compressed Gaussian Mean Estimation

arXiv:2606. 00703v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-precision pretraining (FP8, MXFP4, NVFP4) is now standard for frontier language models, yet the literature is almost entirely achievability -- algorithms and empirical scaling laws -- with no matching characterization of what is information-theoretically possible.

Approximating Whittle-Matern Fields over Discretized Manifolds

arXiv:2606. 13827v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Markovian Whittle-Mat\'ern fields have been convergently approximated by discrete Gauss Markov Random Fields (GMRFs) with sparse precision matrices using a Finite Element approximation of the two-parameter family, \[ (\kappa^2 - \Delta)^{\alpha/2} u = \mathcal{W}, \;\; \kappa \in \mathbb{R}, \; \alpha \in \mathbb{N}.

A Joint Finite-Sample Certificate for Adaptive Selective Conformal Risk Control

arXiv:2606. 08517v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Selective predictors answer on confident inputs and abstain elsewhere; deploying one safely needs a single finite-sample certificate that simultaneously upper-bounds the selected risk, lower-bounds the acceptance probability $\pacc$ above a floor $\pmin$, and lower-bounds the deployment utility.
