arXiv:2606. 18306v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Gaussian width is a central geometric complexity measure in high-dimensional probability, compressed sensing, convex optimization, and learning theory.
arXiv:2607. 20578v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study Gaussian-width complexity on statistical manifolds through a pair of functionals: the primal Fisher width $w_G(T) = w(G^{1/2}T)$, induced by the Fisher metric, and the inverse-Fisher width $w_{G^{-1}}(T) = w(G^{-1/2}T)$, induced by the inverse Fisher metric.
arXiv:2606. 20469v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A widely held intuition in deep learning is that stochastic gradient descent (SGD) implicitly favors flat minima and that flat minima generalize better, but standard Euclidean measures of flatness such as the trace or maximum eigenvalue of the loss Hessian are not invariant under reparametrizations that preserve the network function, which undermines the theoretical foundations of this narrative.
arXiv:2610.07228v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Natural gradient descent (NGD) underlies common methods in ML. For dually flat families, idealized NGD on the forward Kullback--Leibler objective fol...
arXiv:2502. 00168v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Supervised dimensionality reduction maps labeled data into a low-dimensional feature space while preserving class separation.
arXiv:2607. 03145v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The informativeness of a training set is as consequential as its size, yet most sampling strategies remain agnostic to the intrinsic geometry of the data distribution.
arXiv:2511. 02496v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study latent geometry as an explicit component of representation quality in data-scarce learning.
arXiv:2605. 14981v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Gromov--Wasserstein (GW) distances compare graphs, shapes, and point clouds through internal distances, without requiring a common coordinate system.
arXiv:2606. 08799v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the generalization of ridge-regularized nonlinear least-squares models via on-average algorithmic stability, deriving error bounds for local minimizers in terms of a data-dependent effective dimension that reflects the geometry of the gradient model at the trained parameters, through the empirical Jacobian Gram matrix and a residual--curvature term.
For an arbitrary isotropic log-concave distribution $P$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$, we prove that the polynomial $(Cm)^m\|v\|_2^m - \mathbb{E}_{X\sim P}\langle X,v\rangle^m$ is a sum of squares for every even $m\ge2$, where $C>0$ is a universal constant. This removes the dependence on the Poincaré constant in the theorem of Kothari and Steinhardt (arXiv:1711.
arXiv:2511. 11498v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We consider the problems of \emph{learning} and \emph{testing} real-valued convex functions over Gaussian space.
arXiv:2609. 30105v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: For an arbitrary isotropic log-concave distribution $P$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$, we prove that the polynomial $(Cm)^m\|v\|_2^m - \mathbb{E}_{X\sim P}\langle X,v\rangle^m$ is a sum of squares for every even $m\ge2$, where $C>0$ is a universal constant.
arXiv:2407. 00966v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In traditional models of supervised learning, the goal of a learner-- given examples from an arbitrary joint distribution on $\mathbb{R}^d \times \{\pm 1\}$-- is to output a hypothesis that is competitive (to within $\epsilon$) of the best fitting concept from some class.
