Machine learning procedures are commonly evaluated in terms of predictive accuracy and computational efficiency. However, their achievable performance is fundamentally constrained by structural properties of the underlying data-generating process, which are formalized in terms of informational bounds.
arXiv:2607. 22430v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning world models that infer environment dynamics from high-dimensional observations and predict outcomes under candidate actions is central to planning and control.

Effective machine learning depends not only on how we model data, but also on what data we choose to collect. While large sequence models have revolutionized data modeling, the problem of automated data selection, or "intrinsic curiosity", remains a significant challenge.
arXiv:2602. 05463v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern AI systems achieve remarkable capabilities at the cost of substantial energy consumption.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are frequently portrayed as general-purpose solvers capable of solving arbitrary tasks. We argue that this view overlooks a fundamental constraint: language is a compressed and capacity-limited interface for conveying task information.
arXiv:2507. 05164v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this chapter, we utilize dynamical systems to analyze several aspects of machine learning algorithms.

arXiv:2608. 13621v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A hidden Markov model (HMM) combines three roles: inference of a hidden-state belief from observations, propagation through a Markov transition, and emission back to observation space.

arXiv:2606. 04045v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Representation learning is often described as preserving the information in an input that is relevant for prediction.
