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 ($f^{-1}(0)$).
We resolve the threshold part of Question 4 of the COLT 2025 open problem "Data Selection for Regression Tasks" of Hanneke, Moran, Shlimovich and Yehudayoff. In vector-valued linear regression with sq...
arXiv:2602. 19172v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Realizable online regression can behave very differently from online classification.
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:2609.38834v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Contrastive learning is a successful paradigm for learning $d$-dimensional geometric representations from a collection of ``anchor--positive--negativ...
arXiv:2609. 03762v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The computation of the Bures-Wasserstein (BW) barycenter of an ensemble of positive definite matrices arises throughout machine learning, optimal transport, and quantum information.
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:2608.28150v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: How much matrix rank is required to preserve every bounded value output of normalized softmax attention? We study the unrestricted maximum-row-\(\e...
arXiv:2607. 07778v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bubeck, Li and Nagaraj conjectured that, for generic data, any two-layer neural network with $m$ neurons that fits $n$ noisy labels must have Lipschitz constant at least of order $\sqrt{n/m}$, with no restriction on the size of the weights.
arXiv:2609.39855v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the width required for a randomly initialized hidden layer of a neural network to achieve rank lifting. Namely, given a dataset $X \in \mathbb...
