Non-Stationary Functional Bilevel Optimization

arXiv:2601. 15363v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Functional bilevel optimization (FBO) provides a powerful framework for hierarchical learning in function spaces, yet current methods are limited to static offline settings and perform suboptimally in online, non-stationary scenarios.

Hypergradient-based Bilevel Reinforcement Learning with Improved Sample Complexity

arXiv:2607. 28849v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Bilevel reinforcement learning (RL) is an important framework within the literature of RL that can be used to formalize various categories of problems, such as meta-learning, hierarchical task decomposition, and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RL-HF).

Constrained Variable Projection for Structured Problems

arXiv:2606. 23939v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Variable projection is a classical technique for separable nonlinear least-squares problems, in which variables that enter linearly are eliminated exactly, yielding a reduced nonlinear problem.
