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.

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.

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 $P\neq Q$?
