arXiv:2310. 09149v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the approximation of probability measures in the Wasserstein-$p$ distance by structured classes of approximators, motivated by applications in imaging, machine learning, and physical measurement under sensor constraints.
arXiv:2607. 10751v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Following Alon, Hanneke, Holzman, and Moran (FOCS 2021), we define a partial concept class (PCC) as a family of partial functions \(f: V\to\{0,1,\ast\}\); equivalently, its concepts partition the ground set into black ($f^{-1}(1)$), grey ($f^{-1}(\ast)$), and white parts ($f^{-1}(0)$).
arXiv:2606. 07325v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the minimax rate of estimating a future value $\mu_{t_n+h}$ of a curve $t\mapsto\mu_t$ in the $2$-Wasserstein space $\mathcal{P}_2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ from finitely many noisy snapshots of its past, under an adiabatic bound $\|\nabla_t^k v\|\le\varepsilon$ on the $k$-th covariant derivative of the velocity field.
arXiv:2609.15179v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Gaussian kernel is a widely used similarity measure underlying kernel methods such as kernel PCA and spectral clustering, but computing Gaussian...
arXiv:2604. 03218v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study power-one sequential testing for an i.
arXiv:2605. 09916v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce the observable Wasserstein distance, a framework for deriving lower bounds on the Wasserstein distance between probability measures on Polish metric spaces, designed to bypass the computational intractability of exact optimal transport in large-scale, non-Euclidean datasets.
arXiv:2609. 27008v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the long-time behavior of Wasserstein gradient flows for interaction energies \[ \mathsf E[\mu] = \frac12\iint_{M\times M}K(x,y)\,\mathrm d\mu(x)\,\mathrm d\mu(y) \] on a closed manifold $M$.
arXiv:2409. 08469v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We provide finite-particle convergence rates for the Stein Variational Gradient Descent (SVGD) algorithm in the Kernelized Stein Discrepancy ($\mathsf{KSD}$) and Wasserstein-2 metrics.
arXiv:2606. 20183v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent quantum vision models-quantum vision transformers and quantum convolutional networks-report two striking but unexplained empirical phenomena: (i) ansatze with more, or more uniformly distributed, entanglement generalize better, and (ii) injecting quantum noise can improve test accuracy rather than degrade it.
arXiv:2609.09480v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop Gaussian approximation bounds in higher-order Wasserstein distance $W_p$, $p\geq2$, for sums of multivariate martingale differences genera...
arXiv:2606. 21585v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A finite agent, a machine's digital twin or any bounded reasoner, infers a fixed and noisy world through finite sensors, so its coherent output is a belief: a probability density over states (the Bayes posterior).
arXiv:2603. 15384v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We improve and extend persistence spheres, introduced in~\cite{pegoraro2025persistence}.
