arXiv:2606. 02008v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pre-training has become a fundamental paradigm in modern machine learning, with one of its key empirical benefits being reduced downstream sample complexity as the scale of pre-training data increases.
Pre-training has become a fundamental paradigm in modern machine learning, with one of its key empirical benefits being reduced downstream sample complexity as the scale of pre-training data increases. However, existing theoretical frameworks for pre-training do not fully explain this phenomenon.

arXiv:2510. 10981v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper develops a finite-sample statistical theory for in-context learning (ICL), analyzed within a meta-learning framework that accommodates mixtures of diverse task types.
The paper introduces TESS, a scalable data‑selection framework that replaces per‑sample weights with a selection network to improve transferability across datasets and model sizes. It identifies instability in existing meta‑learning for training‑data selection (MTS) due to weight suppression and overreliance on easy features, and proposes a Pointwise Value Matching objective to address these issues. Experiments on large language model safety and instruction tuning show strong transfer from subsets to full corpora and from smaller to larger models.
