The Sharp Tail of Uniform Stability
arXiv:2608.24098v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Uniform stability controls how much one training example can change the loss at any test point. A new logarithmic-free upper bound shows that a $\gamma...

arXiv:2602. 05657v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The study of tail behaviour of SGD-induced processes has been attracting a lot of interest, due to offering strong guarantees with respect to individual runs of an algorithm.
arXiv:2606. 06855v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While algorithmic stability is a central tool for understanding generalization of learning algorithms, existing high-probability guarantees typically rely on uniform boundedness or sub-Gaussian/sub-Weibull tail assumptions, which can be overly restrictive for modern settings with heavy-tailed or unbounded losses.
arXiv:2608.29152v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the empirical Sinkhorn estimator of the entropic optimal transport potentials under the uniform loss. Since the potentials are only unique u...
arXiv:2608. 04686v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study distributionally robust PAC learning for the $0$--$1$-loss, where adversarial perturbations of the data distribution are constrained by a Cressie--Read divergence of order $k>1$ and radius $\rho\geq 0$.
arXiv:2608. 09870v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Uniform stability is a classical tool for controlling the generalization error of a learning algorithm.
arXiv:2606. 25170v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study PAC learning in tabular discounted Markov decision processes with exogenous i.
arXiv:2608. 10869v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Worst-case multiclass bounds do not become smaller when the best classifier is already nearly correct: what is missing is an optimistic rate, a guarantee whose fluctuation scales with the oracle risk itself.
arXiv:2608. 06656v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Can one forecaster attain the optimal regret rate for every bounded proper loss and also adapt to every smooth proper loss?
arXiv:2604. 10727v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Classical information-theoretic learning bounds typically rely on KL mutual information and moment-generating-function (MGF) arguments, which are well matched to bounded or sub-Gaussian losses but can be ineffective when losses or rewards are heavy-tailed.

arXiv:2608.30382v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Popular adaptive stochastic gradient descent (SGD) methods to train artificial intelligence (AI) systems include the RMSprop, the Adam, and the AdamW o...
