arXiv:2606. 17215v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A certificate that removes outliers sees the data only through its low-degree moments, and an adversary exploits exactly this, hiding corruption where the clean data already looks typical, in the blind spot no bounded-degree test resolves.

arXiv:2609. 20701v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study efficient algorithms for realizing the first-order oracle complexity of optimization of $G$-Lipschitz convex functions with respect to the $\ell_{q}$-norm over an $\ell_{p}$-ball of radius $R$, where $1\leq p,q\leq \infty$.
We study efficient algorithms for realizing the first-order oracle complexity of optimization of $G$-Lipschitz convex functions with respect to the $\ell_{q}$-norm over an $\ell_{p}$-ball of radius $R$, where $1\leq p,q\leq \infty$. For $p<q$, we obtain error $\widetilde{O}_{p,q}(GR/T^{1/p-(1/q-1/2)_{+}})$ after $T$ oracle queries, efficiently realizing the nearly optimal rates of (MBG+26), thereby resolving the nonsmooth end of the COLT 2015 open problem (Guz15b).
