arXiv:2606. 01527v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Machine unlearning is motivated by legal and user-facing requirements to remove the influence of individuals' data from trained models, such as the right to be forgotten.

We study machine unlearning: the removal of memorized training data from a trained model. Specifically, we investigate the algorithmic complexity of certified unlearning from an optimization perspective.
arXiv:2601. 10237v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent (DP-SGD) is the dominant paradigm for private training, but its fundamental limitations under worst-case adversarial privacy definitions remain poorly understood.

arXiv:2606. 32005v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Stochastic Gradient Descent ($\textsf{SGD}$) is one of the most classical optimization algorithms with favorable theoretical guarantees, yet the practical implementation of $\textsf{SGD}$ differs subtly from its well-known form and is often referred to as Shuffling Stochastic Gradient Descent ($\textsf{Shuffling SGD}$).

arXiv:2609. 20687v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study first-order black-box convex optimization over an $\ell_p$-ball for objectives Lipschitz in the $\ell_q$-norm, solving in the affirmative the nonsmooth version of the COLT open question (Guz15b) on whether the geometry of a smaller feasible set ($p < q$) can improve convergence rates in convex optimization, and matching prior lower bounds up to logarithmic factors.

arXiv:2606. 02119v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine unlearning aims to remove the influence of specific forget training data due to privacy, copyright or bias concerns while maintaining the model performance on the remaining retain data.

arXiv:2607. 26577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Adaptive conformal inference (ACI) of Gibbs and Cand{\`e}s and its variants are the standard approach to online conformal prediction under distribution shift, but they suffer from three fundamental limitations.
