Minimax Lower Bounds of Kernel Discrepancy Estimation: MMD, HSIC, KSD

arXiv:2607. 24235v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Over the past 20 years, kernel discrepancies have been leveraged as a highly powerful tool for quantifying the disagreement of distributions, with numerous successful applications in two-sample, goodness-of-fit, and independence testing, among others.

Approximating Uniform Random Rotations by Two-Stage Structured Hadamard Rotations in High Dimensions

The paper investigates how well two-stage structured Hadamard rotations approximate uniform random rotations in high-dimensional spaces. It establishes nonasymptotic upper bounds of order √{log d/d} for one-dimensional marginals, while showing a persistent Wasserstein-1 discrepancy for the full vector that does not vanish as dimension grows. These results highlight a separation between marginal and joint approximation quality, though they do not directly translate into algorithmic performance guarantees.

Exact Limits of Random Projections for Preserving Geometry: Distance Recovery, Nearest-Neighbor Rankings, and Covariance Shape in Gaussian Models

arXiv:2609. 02155v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Johnson-Lindenstrauss (JL) lemma guarantees that a random projection of $n$ points to $m=O(\varepsilon^{-2}\log n)$ dimensions preserves pairwise squared distances within relative error $\varepsilon$ with high probability, and this dimension order is asymptotically optimal.

Testing Distributions Against Bounded Distinguishers

arXiv:2607. 15645v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by the challenge of testing distributions over high-dimensional or continuous domains, we study distribution testing with respect to bounded classes of distinguishers.

Margin in Abstract Spaces

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.

Constrained Learning with Universally Learnable Concept Classes

arXiv:2608. 08414v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study constrained statistical learning over infinite-dimensional hypothesis classes in the fully nonconvex setting, and establish universal PACC learnability of the solutions of dual algorithms: Probably Approximately Correct on Constraints, guaranteeing optimality and constraint satisfaction at once.

Extreme classification: beating chance with one training example from each class

arXiv:2609. 20897v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study a minimal classification problem: Given independent labeled observations $X\sim P$ and $Z\sim Q$ from two unknown distributions $P,Q$, and given an independent target $Y$ drawn with equal probability from $P$ or $Q$, can one classify $Y$ strictly better than chance whenever $P\neq Q$?
