The Observable Wasserstein Distance

arXiv:2605. 09916v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce the observable Wasserstein distance, a framework for deriving lower bounds on the Wasserstein distance between probability measures on Polish metric spaces, designed to bypass the computational intractability of exact optimal transport in large-scale, non-Euclidean datasets.

Approximating Gaussian Whittle-Matern Fields over Well-Centered Triangulations of Riemannian Manifolds

arXiv:2606. 13827v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Markovian Whittle-Mat\'ern fields have been convergently approximated by discrete Gauss Markov Random Fields (GMRFs) with sparse precision matrices using a Finite Element approximation of the two-parameter family, \[ (\kappa^2 - \Delta)^{\alpha/2} u = \mathcal{W}, \;\; \kappa \in \mathbb{R}, \; \alpha \in \mathbb{N}.

The VC dimension of partial concept classes via Radon's theorem

arXiv:2607. 10751v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Following Alon, Hanneke, Holzman, and Moran (FOCS 2021), we define a partial concept class (PCC) as a family of partial functions \(f: V\to\{0,1,\ast\}\); equivalently, its concepts partition the ground set into black ($f^{-1}(1)$), grey ($f^{-1}(\ast)$), and white parts ($f^{-1}(0)$).

Active Regression via Linear-Sample Sparsification

arXiv:1711. 10051v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present an approach that improves the sample complexity for a variety of curve fitting problems, including active learning for linear regression, polynomial regression, and continuous sparse Fourier transforms.
